I have pushed for changes in the legislation in that law. In fact. I offered several proU.S. worker amendments during consideration of the immigration bill in 2013. Every amendment I offered was defeated. The majority at that timemeaning the Democratic majority. and it was a bipartisan majority that helped defeat itdefeated these proAmerican worker amendments. They pushed through S. 744. the 2013 immigration bill. without this significant. much needed change. Let me describe to my colleagues the appalling instance referenced above. I have described what the HlB law was and how. during the immigration debate of 2013. I tried to amend it and improve it. and I wasnt successful. I started my remarks tonight by talking about the abuse of H1B. the law not being followed. overseas companies bringing workers in here for an American company to employ. and then in turn these jobs are going to be shipped overseas. So now I wish to describe this appalling incident I referenced earlier. Last August.
