Obama’s latest plan to rewrite immigration law...and it’s far scarier than anyone could have imagined.

You can't get a H-1B visa unless you have a college degree, those aren't for morons.

yeah i really dont have a problem with H-1b staying.. they are not the problem most have masters degrees or higher

With regard to guest workers, arent they working on the books and paying taxes?


"To immigrate into the US, you must have a sponsor (generally the family member, such as the spouse, bringing you into the country) who will testify, and provide proof, that he or she has enough money to support you, if you are unable to support yourself, or if you lose your job. This agreement means that until you naturalize as a U.S. citizen or have been a taxpayer for 10 years, your sponsor's income will be taken into consideration in deciding whether you are poor enough to qualify for means-tested benefits, and that if you do take those benefits, the government can sue your sponsor to recover those costs. You can also sue your sponsor if they fail to support you at the poverty level."

When it comes to illegals, "Undocumented workers pay their part despite the fact that they are explicitly banned from taxpayer-funded programs such as Social Security, Medicare, welfare, and food stamps."

Except for controlling of the actual number of people we let in (and making sure very few of them are middle eastern, of course), I really dont see what the big deal is.

I should say though, I would rather see the jobs go to Americans first..
