    Too many when iconic companies fire Americans and hire H1B v instead... http://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/h-1b-visa... And we have 20 million illegal people living here who do not have a legal right to be here... that's a lot of job availabilities which would transfer to hirer wages for all that would result if they were NOT!

    Even many of our middle-class professionals are losing their jobs to lower paid foreign workers. Obama and his kinda are destroying America and her tax-paying middle-class.

    You SAID you wanted LEGAL, HIRED & SKILLED IMMIGRANTS!

    By coincidence-- THAT is what Free Trade pacts were going to give you anyway!

    EVERY COUNTRY can now BENEFIT from a CORPORATE DESIGNED, VISA HOLDING middle class!-

    YOU OPTED to call them the SKILLED CLASS!

    You did not LOSE local jobs-- YOU GAINED a foreign INTELLIGENTSIA!

    You LIKE Free Trade! It is FULLY LEGAL. In fact- It made the laws!

    PUH LEEZE! just get a VISA!- find a country you DO qualify for- and you too can be in the Skilled Class.

    One more reason we need to reform the immigration system.
