Thursday, April 27, 2000 - Senate May Vote on H-1B Measure Next Week
Senate Leadership has indicated that S. 2045, the Hatch/Abraham H-1B Bill may come to the Senate floor for a vote within the next week (no specific date set).We thus URGENTLY NEED employers to call their Senators in the next few days and urge them to vote for S. 2045. The Congressional Switchboard number is 202-224-3121. The message points are:
- The cap on H-1B's is a cap on America's Growth.
- There is a shortage of highly educated professional workers.
- H-1B visas are part of the solution, but the cap has been reached, and employers cannot use the program.
- S. 2045 is a short-term, balanced solution that provides for education and training of future American workers, while allowing employers to sponsor key foreign nationals.
KEEP AMERICA GROWING, VOTE FOR S. 2045!
