One could say all they want for Christmas is their two front teeth.

But we want much more than that.  We want Congress to do the right thing and pass these bills:

• S.1035 : H-1B and L-1 Visa Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act of 2007 (Durbin-Grassley)
• H.R.2538 : To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide greater protections to domestic and foreign workers under the H-1B nonimmigrant worker program. (Pascrell)
• H.R.2504 : To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act with respect to the admission of L-1 intra-company transferee nonimmigrants. (DeLauro)
• H.R.548 : To establish a Congressional Trade Office (DeFazio)

Right now any meaningful reforms on H-1B guest worker Visas cannot get any traction in Congress because Corporate lobbyists simply do not want these reforms.  Why you might ask?  Because it will cut into their global labor arbitrage cost cutting agenda that’s why.  All of these bills are both Pro US worker and help protect a H-1B visa holder from exploitation as well.   They are all long overdue and much needed reforms.

Won’t you please help us bring in the New Year right and ask your Congress representative to co-sponsor these bills?

Let’s hope 2008 brings about some real reforms for working Americans!
