Read what the bill will do.

You can restore equal opportunity to the US workforce.  Start by inviting your Senator to co-sponsor (S887) "The H-1B and L-1 Visa Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act of 2007". It will reform the H1-B hiring program in three important ways:

• requires employers to recruit from the US workforce first
• requires employers to attest that the H-1B visa holder will not displace an American worker for 6 months before and after
• requires that companies advertise the job opening for 30 days on the DOL web site before resorting to the H1-B program
• won't allow companies to offshore or act as labor contractors using visa staff
• will give DOL oversight and investigative capabilities over the H-1b program
• will give Dept. of Homeland Security oversight and investigative campabilities over the L-1 program
• Call your Senator today!   Ask them to sponsor (S 887) H-1B & L-1 Reform.
