Let me give you a few examples. A few days ago. the Los Angeles Times reported Dell would be eliminating 10 percent of its workforce. slashing 8.800 jobs. But Dell. last year. applied for nearly 400 HlB1 visas to bring people into this countryat the same time they lay off 8.800 workers. Maybe they might want to retrain some of those 8.800 workers for these new positions. if possible. rather than simply bringing in new employees from abroad. Dell is not alone. The Financial Times. on May 31. reported Motorola would be cutting 4.000 jobs. on top of an earlier 3.500 job reduction. designed to generate savings of $400 million. Yet last year. Motorola received 760 HlB visas.* The list goes on and on. It is IBM. It is Citigroupcompanies bringing in foreign professional workers at the same time they are laying off American workers.
