Similarly, Sen. John Cornyn, (R-Texas), said the U.S. should "offer more visas to highly skilled students who have studied at our colleges and universities and when then can't work here they go back to their native land and they compete with us and create jobs there rather than here, in the United States."

Sens. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill), recently introduced the use of the H-1B visas. The measure is particularly aimed at offshore outsourcing companies, and would require them to increase the size of their U.S. workforces under a rule that would prohibit them with having more than 50% of their workforce from using H-1B or L-1 visas, which are used for company transfers. They argue that the visa is displacing workers.
