<<<<< JOB DESTRUCTION NEWSLETTER  No. 2067 -- 10/21/2009 >>>>>

There is some confusion being caused by the Grant Gross article that was
used in the last newsletter.

His article, titled "Bill Would Double Cap on H-1B Visas" was published on
Computerworld on October 20, 2008. The article was about the H-1B increase
bill that Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) introduced to the 110th Congress
in 2008 called the "Innovation Employment Act" (HR 5630).

Recently several other internet sites picked up Gross' article but they
dated it October 2009. This created confusion because people didn't know if
Gross was talking about a new bill or if the article was about the old
bill. Today some of the websites are changing the date.

In order to clear up the confusion and to make sure that the bill is for
real, I contacted both Gross and the Giffords office. Here are two things
that I confirmed:

1. The Gross article was about HR 5630 in the 110th Congress. The article
is still relevant because the bill won't change much.

2. Giffords new bill to the 111th Congress will go by the same name but
different number. It is now working its way through the Judiciary
committee. They wouldn't discuss specifics but did tell me that the bill
will be very similar to HR 5630.

Something important to consider -- It's much easier to kill a bill before
it is formally submitted.

My Vdare blog from yesterday will be removed until it's updated with this
new information.
