This afternoon the Senate is scheduled to vote on the Byrd Amendment, which would strip *out* a huge increase (350,000) in the level of legal VISA's granted inside a budget reconciliation bill.
Apparently, according to Numbers USA, a rider to *increase* the number of H1-B and L1 visas was slipped in at the last minute by a lobbyist for Microsoft and a staffer for Arlen Spector.
Jeff Sessions (R) is also sponsoring the Byrd amendment. Please call your senators and demand that they vote for the Byrd amendment! This is outrageous that the Senate would even consider increasing immigration levels at a time when most agree that there is already way too much immigration.
Senator Schumer: 202 224 6542 Senator Clinton: 202 224 4451
Took about 2 minutes per call. There should be an 800 number
