I received the following email and want to pass it on as an example of why Sen.(orita) Boxer is so out of touch with America's middle class -
The 2 subject bills, if enacted, will prove to be a complete disaster and America's middle class might as well just leave the country for one that acts on behalf of their citizens. Here is a brief description from Rob Sanchez:
<<<<< JOB DESTRUCTION NEWSLETTER No. 1876 -- 6/10/2008 >>>>>
Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Judd Gregg (R-NH) introduced a bill to the Senate that is a companion bill to Zoe Lofgren's bill in the House. The bills will effectively staple green cards onto the diplomas of aliens with a master's or higher degree from a United States institution of higher education in the field of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM). In order to qualify for the instant green card they must find a U.S. job in a field related to their degree.
There will be no numerical limits to the number of STEM related green cards that can be issued. The two bills are described below:
S. 3084 Sponsor: Sen. Barbara Boxer [D-CA] Cosponsor: 1 Introduced: Jun 5, 2008
H.R. 6039 Sponsor: Rep. Zoe Lofgren [D-CA] Cosponsors: 19 Introduced: May 13, 2008
I'm asking group members to contact congress and tell them you DO NOT want either bill enacted. This is important guys. For those interested in some text you can cut/paste and use, try this:
H.R. 6039 (for house - S. 3084 in the Senate) if enacted would prove to be a disaster for American workers by providing an auto green card to every foreign national completing an education. In a time when 600,000 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) students graduate from college - yet only 120,000 find jobs - there is a real problem with American finding jobs.
H.R. 6039 would pour fuel on the fire by flooding the market with far more college grads than needed, far more than there are jobs for them, circumventing the law of Supply and Demand, and driving down wages due to oversupply. This would prove to be a complete disaster and more of the continuing assault on America's middle class.
DO NOT SUPPORT H.R. 6039/S. 3084.
