Re: The Journal News: Flow of jobs overseas has human toll

this is part of the response of my Senator (Dem):
...The H-1B visa raises serious and difficult issues. Many American workers
feel that these visas take away their jobs. I understand these concerns. On
the other hand, many employers point to evidence that there has been a
nationwide decline in bachelor's degrees conferred in computer/information
sciences, and that this dwindling supply of American workers is forcing them
to rely on foreign workers in increasing numbers.

I have supported an increase in the number of available H-1B visas as a
necessary short-term solution. However, I also believe it is extremely
important to develop educational programs that prepare American students and
workers for an increasingly technological world. I will continue to support
measures that develop math, science and engineering skills by U.S. students
while also ensuring that high-tech employers have appropriate interim
measures available to them.
