This bill is good for legal immigration
TOM
IT IS VERY GOOD FOR TAX PAYING LEGAL IMMIGRATION CANDIDATES.
S Rengan
This is an excellent Bill and thanks to the efforts of Sen. Cornyn and others. This would increase competitiveness in US, encouraging talent adoption and promoting country path to prosperity. Kudos!!!!
Gaurav Garg
This is an excellent solution to the problems faced by skilled legal immigrants and their families. US citizens would highly benefit working side by side with highly skilled immigrants through knowledge sharing and the country can retain the creamy layer of skilled people representing many countries.
Pete
This is a good bill that if implemented would ensure retention of skilled talent (all legal - tax payers) and would prevent their migration to other greener pastures.
Scott
This is a great bil.we definitely need to make it easy for skilled immigrants to come in and be able to adjust their status soon
melyn

Since these people are that talented let them go back to their homeland and make life better for their people.

I do not want to see an increase of competitiveness in US VS. immigrants. The corporate world has already outsourced and offshore enough US jobs to other countries! The USA has more than enough educated and talented citizens to fill the jobs left here!!! I am offended that a US Senator's FIRST and TOP priority not be for US born citizens!

This is a horrible bill. Real wages in this country are not rising in the specific fields addressed by the bill (or any other field for that matter). Unemployment for American engineers over the age of 45 is around 80%. Furthermore, the pay difference between CEO/corporate elites and the average employee is at an all-time high and productivity is increasing. This means that those at the top are getting and controlling an increasing portion of the pie and the average citizen is not sharing in the wealth that they are helping to create through increased productivity. This bill is nothing but Congress bowing to their corpoprate masters who in turn finance their re-election campaigns. All are proof positive that the US is nothing more than an oligarchy ruled by the few elite for the few elite.

Excellent work
Mr. Incredible
Corrupt congressmen like Doug Lamborn support this bill even though there are 500,000 unemployed Americans in this field.

Obviously foreign workers hit this site and vote for this bill. Let's all *pretend* that a single American would think this is a good idea - let foreign workers take away even more high paying American jobs. What a bunch of idiots.
