In a report presented to congress, the Government Accountability Office concluded that 94% of foreign worker H-1B visa recipients are not "Fully Competent."

This indicates that they are entry level workers gaining experience. Many of these opportunities U.S. college graduates are not even allowed to compete for. They don't even know about the opportunity.

DKOS parents and relatives of students in college, how do you feel about the fact that your students are never even going to know they have been excluded for consideration for jobs in their own country. Do you not care about this issue? Is it OK with you that it is completely legal for corporations to bring in foreign workers while your graduates and unemployed highly skilled neighbors don't even know these jobs exist?

In 2011, the GAO completed a study for Congress that concluded a mere 6% of H-1B visa recipients are "Fully Competent" with 54% of H-1B visa recipients being "Entry Level" workers. Tragically many disenfranchised US STEM workers, as their last official duty of being an employed US STEM worker, had to train their replacement in order to receive a severance package.

With this GAO report at their disposal, why are so many democratic representatives in Washington, including the president pushing for an expansion of this awful H-1B visa program to replace and bypass U.S. workers?

I can see the Republican party fighting to bring in cheap indentured labor to benefit the business community to the detriment of the workers, but with this report at their disposal, why are so many Democrats doing the same. Isn't the Democratic party supposed to be the party of labor? The silence is deafening.
