Protect US Technology Jobs; Limit the amount of HB1 and HB2 visa employee a US company can hire within 12 months.

Created by S.A. on October 26, 2011

This petition protects Technology jobs for US citizens. It limits the amount of H1B and H2B visa employees a US company can hire within a 12 month period, based on the unemployment rate. This could be a by-state limit and should be monitored. If the unemployment rate is over 5%, then the limit amount of HB1 and HB2 visas should be higher, allowing US citizens first choice to those US jobs. If the unemployment rate is lower than 5%, then more HB1 and HB2 visas can be allowed.

The key is to insist that US companies support the US job market by hiring US citizens first before considering non-citizens.
