[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^ Also, isn't forcing companies to use e-verify one of those job killing, costly regulations you people are always prattling on about?[/quote]

I teach computer science at a college in Southern California. Last semester I attempted to recruit my best student, a Vietnamese man as a computer science major. "I'm majoring in accounting." he told me. "I have my green card and I don't want to compete with all the H-1B visa holders majoring in CS."[/quote]

What does that have to do with e verify and undocumented immigrants? H-1B visa holders are here legally (hence being identified as VISA HOLDERS). I don't totally agree with the visas and believe (as a strong dem supporter) that it undercuts the wages of highly skilled American workers, but the issuance of those visas is part of a federal program, not something controlled by the state of Virginia.

Now, if states said they would stop giving tax abatement and other breaks to corporations who use those visas that would be different, but nobody has the balls to do that because every state is trying to undercut each other for these businesses to choose them. [/quote]
