11/03/2005: Senator Byrd and Distinguished Members of the U.S. Senate

We are forced to repost our October 19 message to help the Senators, particularly Senator Byrd the real issue involved in the immigration proposals which are part of the Reconciliation bill, S. 1932. We are asking you once again whether you want U.S. businesses take these number of jobs to foreign countries. If you do not pass Title VIII, Section 8001 of this bill, you are sending out the message that the Senate wants these jobs taken out to foreign countries.
If you pass this bill, the following jobs will remain in the U.S., albeit by the foreign workers, but these jobs which are kept in the country will generate businesses, revenues, and competite edge ove the foreign businesses.
If the unused H-1B numbers of 300,000 are not recaptured and used, the U.S. businesses will have to outsource 300,000 jobs to foreign countries.
If 90,000 unused Employment Based immigrant visa quota numbers are not recaptured and used, these jobs will also be outsourced to foreign countries.
Distinguished Senators, the jobs taken by foreign workers either in the U.S. or foreign countries depend on the market forces in the global economy and free trade. For the international competitions, U.S. businesses will have to rely on some foreign workers, particularly high tech professionals, no matter where they perform the jobs.
However, if the job had to be done overseas by the outsourced foreign workers in a territory of a foreign country, they will not contribute to the American economy other than supply of labor forces, and these outsourced jobs will not create businesses and jobs in the related industries as they will not spend money to buy the goods and services in this country. The foreign workers who are hired and work in the country will generate and boost the country's domestic businesses and jobs as they spend their income in this country. Granted that the U.S. businesses will need their services and allegedly they will take away American jobs, the result will remain same: No matter what, whether in the form of oursourcing or hiring foreign workers within the country, probably the same number of jobs may be allegedly taken away by the global market forces. The huge difference between the two is that outsourcing of jobs will not help to create jobs and business within the country by the forced of consumption but the foreign workers in the U.S. will. Come to think of the affect of McDonald hamburger drive-in orders taken by foreign workers in a foreign country and orders taken by a foreign worker in town. Wake up, America.
Senator Byrd, what you have proposed will result in complete opposite consequences, obviously to your great surprise and dismay. Please don't be blinded by the rhetorics and see through the veils as a patriot. A large number of foreign brains are already moving to our competitors in the Europe, Canada, Australia. Our business clients are more and more bringing the jobs to foreign companies in Asia and South America. You are naive and misguided if you thought you could stop the rule of global economy.
Senator Byrd, let's talk about for a moment the proposed nonimmigrant and immigrant visa numbers in the bill. The bill is not asking to increase annual quota or cap. These are the numbers which the businesses and immigrants were entitled to but wasted because of the government failure to process petitions and applications timely for a number of reasons in the past. We are talking about the "recapture"of the numbers which the laws and regulations mandated the U.S. government to use but the government failed. Because of the fault of the government, the Congressionally mandated quota and cap have not been issued!! If you oppose to the current recapture bill, you should have opposed the passage of these legislations when these legislations were enacted. What you are doing is to overturn these legislations which provided these quotas and caps without letting the public know that is what you are upto. That is morally and ethically wrong. It is wrong to draw a picture that the immigrants will have to take away American jobs by this legislation when the reality is that the law already provided these numbers and the law was in the lawbook.
