S. 388, Save Our Small and Seasonal Businesses Act of 2009, would allow an alien to return as an H-2B nonimmigrant worker without counting against the annual 66,000 cap if they had used an H-2B visa during one of the three previous fiscal years, effectively tripling the number of H-2B workers.
Sounds crazy but that is just business as usual. While hundreds of thousands of American construction workers are unemployed, businesses across America continue to employ illegal aliens and will be allowed to use Stimulus money to hire hundreds of thousands more illegal aliens. The Chamber of Commerce and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops are lobbying the Senate to ensure that businesses can use Stimulus money to hire illegal aliens. Nearly every national Hispanic advocacy group is lobbying the Senate to ensure that illegal aliens have the same access to Stimulus jobs as unemployed Hispanic American citizens. It's a crazy world. Will the Senate endorse insanity or pass an E-Verify amendment?
According to a Business Week article, Microsoft posted a policy proposal on Barack Obama's transition website on Jan. 5 requesting that his administration remove the caps on visas for high-skilled foreign workers.

2009: Sponsored H.R. 878, Nuclear Family Priority Act, introduced by Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.)
The bill would eliminate the extended family visa categories (e.g., married sons and daughters of citizens, etc.), thus ending “chain migration” as recommended by the bi-partisan Barbara Jordan Commission in 1997. Chain migration is the process where seemingly endless “chains” of foreign nationals are allowed to immigrate to the United States, since our laws allow citizens and lawful permanent residents to bring in their non-nuclear, adult family members. It is the primary mechanism that has caused legal immigration in this country to quadruple since the 1960s.
Denney Walls, owner of Walls & Son Construction in Martinsville, In. is pushing for the passage of E-Verify in the state. Walls told his local paper, the Reporter-Times, that his business is being hurt because of competing companies that hire illegal workers.
An investigation by the Associated Press revealed that major U.S. banks brought in foreign workers for high paying jobs while laying off American workers at the same time.

So far you haven't seen the stats in the mainstream media. You haven't heard national politicians talking about them. But now an extensive nationwide educational campaign on cable TV will expose Americans to two outrageous government statistics. And the 2 banned statistics are . . . .
