So we need a robust H11B program. I wasnt saying it had to be in the bill. but I did say we have to have a clean vote on it so we can get an upordown vote on whether we are going to have a robust and effective H lB program. What has happened. however. is. through this process which has been developedwhich prejudices those of us who are not members of the process. and since there are only five or six people in the process. it is prejudicing obviously about 90 of us--there is a situation that has been created where even if I get a clean vote on H1B. which I am not sure they will even give me that under this clay pigeon approach. there will be language put in the managers package which will basically gut the HlB3 program. It is called the Durbin language. The practical effect of the Durbin language is this: It says if you bring somebody in under H11B. you must pay them the prevailing wage under skill level 2 of the prevailing wage.
