Why Does Congress Want to Import More Foreign Workers?

Currently, Congress is debating the unnecessary expansion of the H-1B foreign temporary work program that allows foreign workers to come to the Unites States and work for a period up to six years. Proposed expansions call for, among other things, to remove the cap on the total number of foreign temporary workers permitted in the U.S.

This section provides some background information about the uses and abuses in the H-1B Foreign Temporary Worker Program and reasons why the program needs to reduce the number of foreign workers, as well as enact provisions to protect the American worker.
