Current law is handicapping Federal officials from rooting out more fraud. We need to give them the power to audit and the power to investigate abuse. In addition to those two major reforms. we need to increase transparency for U.S. taxpayers to view job openings that are filled by HlB visa workers. We should require employers to better advertise job openings so American workers have a chance at the jobs before they are taken by foreign workers. If we do not make changes in the HlB program. foreign outsourcers will continue to import thousands of foreign workers to the detriment of U.S. businesses and opportunities for American workers to be hired first. So I want my colleagues to know I cannot support an increase in the visa supply without reformand I mean real reform or drastic reformto the program. I have suggested some of those reforms. Like I said. raising the H1B cap without reforms will only hurt American companies and American workers. American workers should come first. I yield the floor.
