The following is a forward to congress and senate and the president.

I would like to know how is my filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy good for the economy? It's not good for mine losing my car I need it to find work in NJ CT PA since the Hi Tech H1- L1 Guestworker Visa Program came into being I could forget finding work in NY! Credit card companies charging higher interest rates because you can't pay cost of living and their over inflated bills.

I know there are US Government Kick backs to companies in the way of H1B Grants for every one hired, thereby you talk the talk but fail miserably in the walking department. What do I need to do to get your attention throw a towel on my head and blow my self up? I just want a fair chance for my American Dream. That hypocrite Bill Gates forgets U.S. Citizens built this country not China not India not Pakistan! Lets LOOK out for our own for once! I am not referring to the companies of your interest, but THE POOR and getting POORER AMERICAN PEOPLE!

Not one week after Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates testified in Congress, various sources are reporting that House leaders intend to bring up legislation that would increase high-skilled foreign worker visas. H.R. 5630, sponsored by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), would increase the annual cap for high-tech H-1B visas from 65,000 to 130,000 starting this year, and up to 180,000 by the year 2010. This legislation also makes it easier for foreign students who are graduates in high-tech fields to enter or stay in the U.S. and compete with U.S. graduates.(Congress Now, March 18, 2008)

This latest move only further illustrates how Congress is willing to bend over backwards to oblige special interests-interests determined to ensure that any enforcement legislation, such as the SAVE Act (H.R.4088), does not pass Congress unless it has goodies for them. While the influence these special interests has over Congress is appalling, the move to increase the number of foreign guest workers is particularly disturbing given the fact the Labor Department announced not one week ago that the U.S. economy had lost 63,000 jobs and yesterday the Federal Reserve cut interest rates in an effort to stabilize the economy.

But the push to import more high-tech foreign workers isn't the only scheme politicians are devising behind closed doors. Just three weeks ago, House Leadership began negotiating legislation promoted by Congressman Joe Baca (D-CA), Chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, that would grant 5-year amnesty visas to the 12-20 million illegal aliens currently in the country. And not two weeks ago, Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI) began efforts to bring legislation to the House floor that would allow employers to import more unskilled H-2B guest workers. Now, Capitol Hill newspapers are reporting that House Leadership-eager to address immigration in a "comprehensive" manner-is considering a package that would contain all of these elements.
