December 14, 2009 H-1B Numbers Surprise Given High Unemployment The H-1B visa cap appears to have been hit, meaning all 65,000 capped visas are taken for the year. (Due to a change in the law, some employers are able to continue to hire H-1Bs without regard to the cap.) "The numbers are surprising, considering the state of the economy," Ron Hira, Associate Professor of Public Policy at Rochester Institute of Technology, told SiliconIndia. "With 15.4 million people unemployed in the U.S., employers should be able to find qualified workers here."
Ohio License Debate Centers on Illegal Immigrants "The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), a group representing the Hispanic demographic, is suing Democratic Ohio Governor Ted Strickland in an attempt to stop the state from canceling vehicle registrations for thousands of people who cannot provide proof of legal U.S. residency," OneNewsNow reports. "Ohio is doing the right thing," FAIR media director Ira Mehlman said, "and of course the advocates for the illegal aliens want to ensure that we don't do anything that will inconvenience illegal immigrants, even if it winds up endangering the safety of the public."
Exec Pleads Guilty in Miss. Hiring Case "Jose Humberto Gonzalez, 45, former personnel director at Howard Industries in Laurel, Miss., pleaded guilty yesterday to conspiracy related to the company's hiring of undocumented immigrants," the Jackson Free Press reported. Howard Industries was the site of a large raid in 2008, where 600 people were arrested.
300 Criminal Immigrants Taken Into Custody in CA 300 criminal immigrants were arrested in California last week, part of an operation focusing on finding criminal aliens. "Last year, 136,126 illegal immigrants with criminal records were deported, a record number, officials said. While department officials trumpeted the mass arrests this week, they could not say how many serious criminal offenders who are in the country illegally remain on the streets," the New York Times wrote.
