This page brought to you by the Partnership for a New American Economy. They self describe as:
"The Partnership for a New American Economy brings together more than 500 Republican, Democratic, and Independent mayors and business leaders united in making the economic case for streamlining, modernizing, and rationalizing our immigration system."
I have repeatedly seen H1-B visas applied for people very unlike PJ. The bulk of people on H1-B visas I have met cannot leave the company they are at for fear of losing their visas. They've started families here. They have children who haven't known their citizenship country. These smart, brilliant people are paid significantly less than their peers (like me) who can choose to easily move between firms.
If you sign this petition, yes you're supporting PJ, but these incumbent large interests will use your assent and leverage to get what they want. Yes- PJs will stay, but the partnership will open the floodgates for more foreign talent that can be kept in a limbo state at the mercy of a large firm.
Don't support astroturf! If you want change, support actual grassroots movement!
What is actual grassroots movement then? It seems like the idea you're putting forth is "The majority of people getting H1-B get shitty lives so they shouldn't be allowed to come here at all."
