On the recordSeptember 24, 1998
I always find it very interesting, the names of the bills that come before us during this Congress. I would venture, if we did not have the kind of protections we have in speech on the floor of the House, that we would be able to sue our colleagues on the other side of the aisle for false advertising. Workforce Improvement and Protection Act, a bill that allows some of the best jobs in the high tech industry to go to foreign workers who we bring into this country under a special H-1B provision, while those very same companies have spent the last year laying off hundreds of thousands of American workers. Mr. Speaker, this is not about a lack of workers. It is about a lack of workers that are the cheapest to be found. It is about a lack of indentured servants that we can bring in from other nations who cannot complain because there is virtually no enforcement by the Department of Labor.
