Letter to the Editor

The Letter to the Editor Section is one of the most widely read sections of the newspaper and can reach a large audience. It allows community members to comment on the way issues are being addressed in the media and to influence the topics the local paper may choose to cover. Elected officials often monitor this section of the newspaper and take notice of constituents' opinions.

We've made it easy for you to contact your local newspaper with your views, but editors want to hear from you in your own words.

  • Now, for the first time, Americans will be able to see how they have been shut out of a major segment of the US high-tech job market.

  • The public is led to believe that companies can’t find Americans to fill high-tech jobs when, in fact, they are not searching for Americans—as these ads show.

  • This closely guarded industry secret has been damaging America's technological promise, especially in Silicon Valley. According to the San Jose Mercury News, Silicon Valley in 2008 had fewer Black, Hispanic and female IT professionals than in 2000. White men, young and old, are bypassed--even our veterans coming home from two wars.

  • New H1-B visas for Fiscal Year 2013 are now all taken. Media reports conclude this shortage reflects a shortage of US talent. However, as the ads in this report illustrate, it actually reflects a shortage of companies that seek American talent and follow EEO recruiting and hiring guidelines to fill their US job openings

  • We have an overabundance of experienced, highly-skilled American IT professionals and new science and technology grads whom we’ve paid dearly to educate. We need the freedom to compete for job openings in our own country we are qualified to do.

  • These companies need to go to EEO-REHAB!

      The Department of Justice is recommending that Congress re-write H1-b law, requiring companies to seek local talent first and "to hire any equally or better qualified US workers who apply." They are concerned that "US workers...have been impermissibly replaced by H1-b visa holders and identify employers who may be engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination against US workers."
