Okay, so now, we’re hitting close to home.

I don’t have anything against people seeking the American Dream, no matter where they’re from. But, there are a lot of American Citizens that are out of work and we still give jobs to “visitors” from other countries. Why? My wife basically lost her job because she was more expensive than someone else who was here on an H1B1. Frankly, it made both of us a bit angry. Well, guess what? We’re not the only ones. Here’s an article at Wired News about the H1B1 backlash. I hope the legislature is paying attention to this.
