A proposal by three U.S. senators would stiffen many of the regulations surrounding H-1B and L-1 visas, including an increase in U.S. worker displacement protection and restricting the number of H-1B and L-1 employees that certain U.S. companies could hire.

In 2008, a USCIS report found the H-1B program had a more than 20 percent violation rate.

A presidential commission may provide a start on cutting America’s deficit, but not much more
AMERICA is spending beyond its means, both parties and the president (not to mention pundits and protesters) have recognised. But cutting budgets is tough politics, which is why special commissions are at times called in to make recommendations away from the legislative hurly-burly. On Thursday Feburary 18th Barack Obama announced that he was forming such as commission, by executive order, to seek ways to tackle the deficit. Will it work?
The commission will be co-chaired by a long-time former Republican senator, Alan Simpson, and a Democratic former chief of staff to Bill Clinton, Erskine Bowles. The rest of the panel will include four more appointees from Mr Obama (one must be a non-Democrat), and three each for the Republican and Democratic leaders of both the House and the Senate.

It is scheduled to report by December 1st this year, shortly after the mid-term congressional elections. …
