<description>Corrupt congressmen like Doug Lamborn support this bill even though there are 500,000 unemployed Americans in this field....</description>

<description>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....</description>

<description>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!...</description>

<description>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....</description>

<description>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....</description>
