Amendment 2428 would provide an interim solution for companies and organizations in need of highly skilled workers by raising the H-1B cap to 115,000 for 2008. It would also recapture unused EB green cards from previous fiscal years, and make them available to help alleviate the current backlogs. These provisions would provide a needed short-term fix to the system,” the chamber argued.

Ok, so who is trying to do the US Chamber of Commerce bidding this time in congress? There are so many willing!

Why Senator John Cornyn, of course! Yes, yet again, on July 27th, Cornyn pushes his US Chamber of Commerce cheap labor agenda!

The amendment: S.AMDT.2428 or SA 2428

What must pass bill are they trying to hide it in now?

H.R.2638: Making appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, and for other purposes

I want to welcome you to the blog and hope you’ll sign up for an account.

We need a place to discuss economic populism, a place for Progressives to write about our views. There is no major political site that quite fits or one that’s really conducive for community building. Many Dems have “Jon Tester or Claire McCaskill” views on immigration for example while most Progressives on other issues agree with Senator Bernie Sanders or Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro Congressman Bill Pascrell represents us on professional guest worker Visas, while Sen. Sherrod Brown and Sen. Byron Dorgan are working hard on trade policy. But, that said, on any one of these issues, one can start a real alienation experience depending on which major blog one is participating in. No one seems to have the big picture or policy positions (except Congressman Peter DeFazio of course).So, I hope you’ll join and if you want to write stories, right now I have to manually upgrade your account.

If your goals are along ours and you want more features that will help you express them, just let me know in the comments. You can also email me directly, posts alert my email so I’ll…

I turn pages….I see words…..globalization…. internationalization……I open the center spread to reveal: My School is going to India!

This is the latest accomplishment of my alma mater?

I stared for a moment and thought, What is a state funded university, with state taxpayer money, doing literally moving to other nations?

Isn’t our university system supposed to primarily teach us? Isn’t Academia supposed to generate innovation and research for the United States? Hasn’t that been the key to America’s success as well as the ultimate social mobility factor for Americans? While we are funding public Universities, literally they are moving our institutions to other nations to educate…other nation’s populations? To enhance other nations advancements? To educate other populations while highly qualified Americans are having their careers labor arbitraged?

What about my fellow Americans? What about my country?

Obviously House Science Chair Bart Gordon is wondering the same thing!

…having a STEM degree, even from a top school, no longer guarantees lifelong employment in a well-paying job in the United States
