Senator Byrd farther right than most...
The Byrd amendment, propsed today, would reduce the number of H1-B visas offered each year to foreign high-tech workers who wish to come to America and steal jobs from those already here.
One of the big problems we have in America has to do with how many foreign students we educate in our schools and universities who promptly return home after their education has been completed.
Not only are the number of enrollments available for Americans decreased to make room for foreign students, but we are also exporting our competitive advantage to other countries as well.
The results are fewer Americans being able to get admitted to institutions of higher learning, while the ones who do are forced to compete against more qualified people in other countries.
What kind of mentally deranged government would make the acquisition of higher education for its own people more difficult to obtain while using its system of education against the very people who built by increasing the earning power and competitiveness of foreign workers?
The bottom line is that the people who built this country retain absolute right to determine who may come here and who may not. Despite the mentally ill left in America who advance runaway immigration on the basis that "America is a nation of immigrants", only a suicidal people would continue to import sick and poor people who come here and destroy our social services or those who wish to come here and drive labor down for people already here.
Sadly, Senator Byrd seems to be more conservative than many of the Republicans I've seen in the Senate lately...
