CIR ASAP proposes increasing the number of employment-based visas, such as H-1Bs, that can be granted annually by permitting the "recapture" of unused visas from previous years. This would allow employers to essentially dip into the pool of 309,500 unused H-1B visas left over from 1992 to 2008, said Alex Nowrasteh, policy analyst at Competitive Enterprise Institute, a non-partisan, non-profit think tank based in Washington, D.C.

Currently, the annual cap on H-1B visas is 85,000. That includes 65,000 general H-1B visas and 20,000 H-1B exemptions set aside for aliens with advanced degrees. As of Dec. 11, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said it had received 62,900 general H-1B visa petitions and had reached the cap of 20,000 advanced degree exemptions for fiscal 2010, which began Oct. 1, 2009.

Until this year and the current weak overall job market, the U.S. had a string of several years in which the cap on H-1B visas was hit within days of the U.S. accepting applications each April for the next fiscal year.

The IT industry has long been lobbying Congress to raise the annual cap on H-1B visas, saying employers have had to turn away much-needed talent that can't be easily found among American workers, hurting U.S. global competitiveness. Opponents to H-1B visas have also pushed for reforms, alleging that many employers abuse the program by displacing Americans with lower-paid foreign workers.

I have followed the Tiger Woods story and looked at the global outrage concerning his now public behavior. Again, at least to me, it highlighted the unrealistic exaltation of so-called celebrities. Again I've detected the unshakeable devotion to ethnicity,especially with my folk. Oh how loyal we are, even to those who look like us, but clearly does not see themselves as one of us. Tiger Woods, when added together is more than one human being. When the fractions are counted, he's about three people. One good thing came to me from Tiger and that is how strong the black gene is. He surely retained that black, despite the numerous colors in his genetic petri dish. The fact is he ran around like a rabbit on steroids and ecstasy. It does not matter what color he is. Fact is, he had a whale of a time having his putter cleaned or dirtied depending on how you look at it despite his wealth, family and zillion dollar obligations. I feel sorry for his kids. Matter of fact, I know he needs help. Those were not flings, there is an addictive personality, with a compulsive disorder and grandioso behind those" teethy "smiles. Extricating himself from the corner he has painted himself into is difficult if not impossible. His wife, Elin, I know nothing about her, but if that woman runs like a hare with fire in its rectum I will completely understand. Tiger needs psychological help. It's unnatural to be that horny. I can't call it but I sure do hope a drug habit is not on the horizon. Go to God my friend. Holla at your boy!!!!!!!

Most people are anxiously awaiting the results of the upcoming election. I don't believe there was ever a political campaign in the world that generated so much interest, sparked so much debate and revealed qualities in individuals that was simmering for a long time. The most intriguing part of this election is the race factor. To me it has outed the instigators like Sean Hannity, Laura Ingram and Kertis Sliwa, of all people. It has ostracized neighbors, family and friends alike. Personally, I think that America will be a better place regardless of the outcome. It is great to see chips of the stereotypical rock falling to the ground. How encouraging to see the young people becoming involved in the study of politics. There are tons of lessons to be learnt. Today I post this question to you.

If Senator Obama wins, what are the top five things he should address?

Pow! Pow! Pow! The sound of the killing fields of Trinidad and Tobago. No one looks out. Scared, petrified, defeated, desensitized. What a pity? I read with dismay and disbelief the reports on the daily newspaper. Last count, 440 plus. A country so blessed with natural resources, beautiful, kind and family oriented people now suffers at the hands of a few. Who is to blame? Is it the overlooked youth? Is it the government? Is it the Americanization and deculturalization of the island? Is it the neglected "all black" neighborhoods? I pray that their is someone more knowledgeable than myself who will help me understand this injustice to the masses. I look, though from far away at the seemingly passive acceptance of the destruction of TnT. I laugh at the reports that "yuh wouldn't recognize town boy, is onee skyscraper". Yet I hear of water shortages, police apathy to respond to crime, "current gone!", heroine seeping into my home, no hospital beds, murders in Point Fortin, Erin, Siparia, Sandre Grandre, kidnappings, lord help my people. I heard one call for American intervention, but what's happening now is American intervention. It is the greatest American export. Chaos, crime, drugs, Godlessness, gangsterism, sexual deviation. We don't need any more. Trinidad needs to filter the politicians. It's always a different puppy but from the same mother. The welfare of a country is never determined by how well the elites are doing but by looking at the living conditions of the poor class. The man in the country doesn't give a rat's anus about the skyscraper in Port-of-Spain. He wants and needs water, medicine, electricity and a job to feed his family. Our children do not need HBO, they need a stable family. Isn't it ironic that we allow the worst of the worst to come perform for our children, fake pastors to pitch tents and peddle holy water and miracle cloths while our young men are dying on the streets. A! A!

Oh well, Americans are outraged at Mrs. Billary Clinton's reasoning for not dropping out of the democratic race. I'm not! Her remark just adds substance to all my previous posts about the Clintonistas. "My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don't understand it," she said, dismissing calls to drop out. If you are one of the apologists who would reason away such a public display of lunacy, I sympathize with you. This is absolutely revealing of the personality Americans are dealing with. Ask Kathleen Wiley, the former White House aide’s life had been turned upside down by threats aimed at silencing her about the sexual assault she experienced at the hands of Bill Clinton. The Clintons’ fears were heightened by what she knew of their shady political operations. Ask Juanita Broaddrick, whose charge that she was raped in 1978 by then-Arkansas attorney general Bill Clinton made news a few years ago.She sent an open letter to first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, reminding her of an encounter they had two weeks after she had been brutally assaulted by Bill Clinton, who was running for governor at the time. She said that Hillary, grasping her hand, thanked her "for everything you do for Bill." When she tried to pull away, Hillary tightened her grip and drew closer to her. "You repeated your statement," Broaddrick wrote, "but this time with a coldness and a look that I have seen many times on television in the last eight years. You then released your grip, and I said nothing and left." Oh Billary, I guess you think that America will welcome you irregardless of how ruthless your tactics. It is one thing I know and believe about the American population, they will turn on you like last Monday's milk. Thanks for solidifying my complete lack of trust in you.
