Pascrell and Cato Institute researcher Dan Griswold. Rep. Pascrell has introduced an H-1B reform bill that I consider to be pretty effective. See http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/Archive/PascrellBill.txt As Rob notes, Pascrell did an excellent job overall in the debate. I was quite disappointed, though, to see that at the end he cited as the main problem lack of enforcement. This is absolutely false. The real problem is that H-1B law is so full of loopholes that there is nothing to enforce. The employers are underpaying H-1Bs with full compliance with the law. That's why I like the provision in Pascrell's bill which would put some real teeth into the prevailing wage part of H-1B law. Hopefully he will emphasize this next time. But again, good job, congressman!

Bill Pascrell (D-NJ) and Daniel T. Griswold, an economist with the libertarian Cato Institute was excellent, especially since Pascrell was the clear winner! The debate centers around the fact that the Senate tried and failed to slip an increase in the number of H-1B visas into the 2005 Omnibus Spending bill. Pascrell calls that a "victory for American workers" while Griswold decries this as a "blow to American business". To watch the the 6 minute video, go to this page. Enjoy!!! http://www.zazona.com/shameh1b/MediaClips.htm Pascrell waves the "Miano Report" in front of the camera. Be sure to read the document titled "The Bottom of the Pay Scale - Wages for H-1B Computer Programmers", by John Miano. This CIS backgrounder will answer anything you ever wanted to know about the salaries of H-1B computer programmers and how they compare with Americans that do the same type of jobs.

If you think my newsletter is worthwhile, and you appreciate ZaZona.com, why not sent some money my way to start the new year off by supporting what I do?

I would prefer if the people who send me some money are the ones who still have jobs, and the ones who appreciate that I'm doing my best to save your job from the globalist pigs that are ruining the American way of life. For those that live on limited resources, the best thing you can do to help support what I do is to tell your friends about this newsletter, and tell them that's it is 100% free of charge.
