It is not only not helpful to the cause that we are seeking to cure by the Judiciary Committees proposal. it is positively harmful in that it creates the potential for retaliation. I wish we lived in a world where all of the good. highpaying. innovative jobs we create in this country could be satisfied by American workers. Indeed. the HlB visa program requires that companies advertise for Americans first and that they pay people who get HlB visas comparable wages with what an American worker would make so that there is no manipulation of this visa to pay perhaps a foreign worker far less and undercut the wages of American workers. There are already protections built into our immigration laws to make sure that doesnt happen. In conclusion. I urge my colleagues to vote against the Byrd amendment.
