Mr. President. this H1B visa issue was debated during the course of the immigration bill. We decided to increase the number of the H1B visas but also increase the safeguards against abuse. We know abuses are taking place. We wanted to be sure American workers have first chance at these jobs. No. 1. and. No. 2. we want to stop these foreign job shops that are using thousands of these H1B visas to outsource jobs in the United States then back to their home country. None of those reforms are included. All we have is an increase in the H1B visa numbers. We need a balanced and coordinated approach that increases the numbers with the safeguards. Unfortunately.
