Letter To Senator Durbin Regarding H-1B Visas!

The H-1B hiring program circumvents Equal Opportunity laws. It allows companies to narrow the applicant pool for 85,000 job openings to only citizens from abroad each year. The program never asks companies to verify that the job opening was competed under EEOC guidelines, nor does it require that companies seek US residents. But a bill just introduced by Bill Pascrell (D-NJ and Maxine Waters (D-CA) will change all that. Citizens and green card holders will be able to apply for these job openings. We have a unique opportunity in Illinois. Senator Durbin is willing to submit mirror legislation in the Senate to reform this program. Would you and your organization join him in this effort? The letter we are signing is attached. Contact me, Donna Conroy if you would like to be part of this effort.
