What is it now, nearly 300,000 tech workers let go since the beginning of last year?  That's the equivalent of nearly four years' worth of H-1B visa workers.  So . . . all of the tech companies do not need tech workers, but somehow, our country continues to annually usher in 65,000 new foreign tech workers for a multi-year stay under the H-1B visa program, plus 20,000 more for lagniappe.Unlike any other country in the world, our citizens must compete with over 500,000 foreign workers here on the H-1B visa.  No matter how bad the employment prospects are for American citizens, Congress and the President annually guarantee employment for up to 85,000 foreign technology workers.The myth that technology companies cannot find qualified workers is exposed for the transparent lie that it has always been.  At best, about 2,000 H-1B visa holders annually bring to this country unique skills and experience.  The sole reason the H-1B visa remains in use is because it allows large technology companies the ability to pay less money to foreign workers and to drive down wages for American citizens.Write your Senators and Congressman and tell them to end the H-1B visa program, or at least suspend it until the pool of available American workers has dried up -- Microsoft just topped off the pool with another 10,000.
