The shortage is not there. The experts tell us and the plain facts. if we look around. indicate that. But instead FWD.us and other immigration lobbyists are working with the White House to extract Executive orders from the President that provide them with the same financial benefits that were included in the Senate bill that was rejected by the House of Representatives. One proposal would increase by as much as 800.000 the number of foreign workers admitted for the explicit purpose of taking jobs in the United States. This is an article that talks about that. It is a matter of importance. The Associated Press article. the title of it: "Obama Weighs Broader Move on Legal Immigration." President Barack Obama is considering key changes in the nations immigration system requested by tech. industry and powerful interest groupsNot by the American people was he being requested to do this. not by the national interests but by powerful special interest groups that are referred to here. It goes on to say: After recent White House meetings. top officials have compiled specific recommendations from business groups and other advocates. "Other advocates." Who are they? We know the ACLU has been there. We know La Raza has been meeting there on a regular basis. It goes on. The article says: One of the more popular requests is a change in the way green cards are counted that would essentially free up some 800.000 additional visas the first year. advocates say. Other requests would extend work permits to the spouses of all temporary HlB skilled workers who have not been able to work. But how about the fact that a single mom might like that job? An unemployed single mom or a single mom who has a job prospect that would pay $3 more than the job she is now working while trying to raise a family?
