Stop rich corporations from adding to already super high Engineering unemployment for Americans.

During these times of hi unemployment, the Senate on behalf of rich gluttonous corporations, is considering a bill, the (STAR) Act, introduced by Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas), that would significantly increase the number of work visas issued to cheap foreign Engineers brought into the US. Statistics of the cited deficiency of skilled domestic engineers have been manipulated by technology corporations. Multinationals like Intel, Texas Instruments and others have enlisted the services of hoards of off shore India based tele-recruiters on fixed price supplier contracts to offer engineering jobs that do not exist while permitting them to accumulate statistics on fictitious job vacancies.

Passage of this bill will result in increased competition for fewer jobs, even higher unemployment in Engineering for Americans and further depress already abysmally eroded incomes in the field. As an Electronic Engineer myself, I can personally attest to the arduous employment challenges faced by many including myself during the past twelve years, in our once respected profession of choice.

This is an affront to the American people and must be stopped.
