Don’t pass any bill that provides a back door to amnesty

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and several pro-amnesty Senators have made it clear that they will use any House-passed immigration legislation to get their “Gang of Eight” amnesty to President Obama’s desk. Rep. Steve Stockman has written a letter to Speaker John Boehner warning of this eventuality and asks him to make sure no immigration legislation reaches the House floor unless it can be guaranteed that it will not be conferenced with Senate-passed comprehensive immigration bills. Please sign this letter and make it clear you do not want sensible House-passed immigration legislation to be used to pass the Senate’s amnesty bill.

Stop preferential treatment of H-1B workers

As an American tech worker, I find it disgusting that IBM posted jobs that preferred foreign workers on temporary visas over American tech workers, while at the same time, they lobby Washington for increases in foreign workers. How are American tech workers supposed to find jobs when corporations can break the law and hire foreign workers at will?
