Obama admin. issues 5.5M work permits to non-citizens

[Professor]

I'd advise a bit of caution when talking about this. I certainly don't know everything there is to know about hiring foreign nationals, illegals, US citizens, etc. For instance, in this thread, we've said:

- You cannot discriminate against a person based on National Origin.
- You must first offer a job to a US citizen.

I also know that, regardless of visa type (or even if a US citizen), you often have to run a check through E-Verify to ensure that someone is employment-eligible.

My point is that there are a LOT of laws and loopholes. Very often, there is no "absolute" right or wrong. Just a whole lot of "may" based on criteria A, B, and C. I'd just caution against making blanket statements (that goes for me, too - since I do it occasionally).

Wonder how many wind up as lawn keepers at the white house?

I love how the focus keeps going to the H visas when that isn't the issue at all. Those went up very little in the overall picture. The visas that are going to hurt us are the rest of them.
