Assembly Joint Resolution 12 (AJR 12) seeking a federal investigation of the H-1B visa program following the alleged misconduct of Disney and Southern California Edison which have supposedly replaced the US employees by H1B workers. Assembly member Eduardo Garcia (D-Coachella), Chair of the Assembly Committee on Jobs, Economic Development and the Economy, moved forward with an Assembly Joint Resolution 12 (AJR 12).
While it seems that the cause is noble, the Assembly member has not really grasped which visas are really taking American jobs. At the end of the day, the most productive people (H1B holders) of the Silicon Valley are going to suffer while other non productive immigrants get a free pass from California.
We hope that such resolutions which is often a “witchhunt”, should not obscure the real need for competitive labor in the Silicon Valley and other parts of California.
