Yesterday we had an incredible betrayal of the Professional workforce by Maria Cantwell (D-WA).  She has introduced S.Admt 1249 which will absolutely decimate Americans in STEM careers as well as target most middle class careers for labor arbitrage.  Other Corporate representatives are Cornyn, Leahy and Hatch.

The Programmers Guild has already issued a damning report on what this amendment would do. This post is a must read.

With so many labor organizations and facts screaming in the face of Congress on how middle class jobs are being targeted for offshore outsourcing and labor arbitrage, why do our representatives seem hell bent on selling out working America?

The Answer is a lobbyist organization, Compete America, which buys off our Congress to labor arbitrage their constituents and give in essence, ultimate control over immigration policy to it's members.

This video overviews the actual number of jobs in the US for STEM professionals (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics):

Cantwell's amendment would:

1.  Give unlimited H-1B guest worker Visas to anyone, anywhere, from any school, any nation with any "Masters" in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
   
2.  Give unlimited H-1B guest worker Visas to anyone from anywhere who received a US Masters degree in anything.
   
3.  Enable corporations to replace American workers with guest workers
   
4.  Put control of immigration status under the employer through "employer sponsored" green cards
   
5.  Increase H-1B Visas to 150,000 per year even though the evidence is overwhelming these Visas are used to offshore outsource, technology transfer and labor arbitrage American workers.
   

And if Cantwell's betrayal isn't enough, good ole Joe Lieberman, is also busy screwing over working America with same corporate written amendment, SA 1242, also sponsored by Democrat Maria Cantwell.  

I must ask this question, does Maria Cantwell, a Democrat, supposedly the party that represents working America, think her constituent is Bill Gates?  What about the many tech professionals in the state of Washington?

Yet while our Senators spit in our face, busy selling out working America, we cannot even get a basic start on Durbin-Grassley S.1035 legislation to help stop the destruction of American careers.
