The truth is that there's only one person in Washington who is looking out for the average American and he's an independent. Who's that independent? Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.

I really like Bernie even if I am a bit more center. Dennis Kucinich is a good guy to looking out for the avg person.
No surprise to see Senators and the Obama administration caving to tech industry CEOs. The CEOs want even bigger profit margins so that they can get even bigger bonuses. Instead of attracting qualified workers by paying market wages, they want the government to guarantee a supply of low cost labor.
Those two passages are very revealing:
"How can the tech companies threaten to kill comprehensive legislation “when it contains almost all they have said they wanted?” said Bruce Morrison, a former chairman of the House immigration committee who now lobbies for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. “All of America should lose the good the bill does so that they can fire Americans and replace them with H-1Bs? Ridiculous.”
"But they are now objecting to language that requires employers to ensure that an “equally qualified” American is not available for a job opening before hiring a foreign temporary worker and allows the Labor Department to regulate."
When Obama made that trip to India a few years back and proclaimed India is a net producer of American jobs and constantly beats the we need more STEM workers drum it really tics me off.
I am at the point where I just ignore him. He isn't my presidient, I didn't vote for him either time, he doesn't represent my interests, I have no confidence in him, so I just try to ignore him rather than keep getting worked up about it. I've done all I can do.
Five years ago, I was hired at a company for a role on what was going to be a new team. Previously, an H-1B guy had done the job as part of his regular duties, but more clients meant they needed a new team.
We had the same job title. My problem wasn't with this guy - he was competent, but he was hired ostensibly because they couldn't find qualified American workers. I was hired to backfill him, then five Americans were hired after me.
It wasn't that he wasn't incompetent or anything, but there were plenty of able, qualified Americans who could have done the work. There was no need to sponsor him.

Yes he who flies around in private jets and owns several large homes is the voice of the average American. Please throughout history socialists have only ever uplifted themselves and their cronies and inflicted misery and ruin on everyone else.
