H-1 Mess

O rite. So i heard the H-1 quota has been reached. My guess is that its over 200,000 applications this year. Despite this high number of applications, people and guvment is gonna cry wolf with the loss of american jobs caused by the H-1 program. The computer random lottery is going to weed out the applications not selected even if the candidates left out are more meritious and have more experience. Despite INS getting 500+ million, INS says that they dont have enough resources to do the merit based selection. If they would anonymize the profiles of all the applicants and make them available on the web. Allowing the american public to poll those who deserve more to be selected in a Survivor style would be a totally democratic way of selecting those ultra lucky 85000 candidates whose american dream would come true (whether or not, that another story for another blog, another day).
