In a speech Wednesday on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) declared immigration reform dead. He chastised and baited Republicans in Congress for blocking reform, and declared that winning the White House without the support of a growing Hispanic population will become mathematically impossible. "The Republican Presidential nominee, whoever he or she may be, will enter the race with an electoral college deficit they cannot make up," said Gutierrez. Gutierrez didn't mention the H-1B visa in the speech, but if he's right, and comprehensive immigration reform is indeed dead, then so too is a provision in the bill that would have raised the cap on H-1B visas. Immigration reform advocates have successfully blocked any effort to take up the immigration issue piecemeal. They don't want support for broader reform to peel away.

bahahahaha, i suggest you watch this [youtube.com]. so long as the legal immigration process remains completely broken, few will actually deal with the bullshit involved. the continued blocking immigration reform will only continue to make things worse, which means more illegals, and more "dey took err jeerrbs!", and of course, the ones who benefits the most, corporations, will continue hiring people for dirt-cheap and getting away with it. nobody's "taking" jobs from natural citizens, its seriously nothing more than the free market doing its thing.
