That still does not preclude the fact that her salary was compared to other jobs for employers with vastly different needs and resources. The employers I mentioned were simply examples of the type of work, not necessarily THE employers used for the comparison (though, since you don't know what metropolitan area in which she was employed, you cannot say "this isn't the case" even so). Why should technical editing pay at a non-profit be compared to pay at companies that are in a decidedly different business? Under this interpretation of the rules, no non-profit organization can ever hire a permanent resident applicant. By the same logic, the non-profit organization wouldn't be able to hire Americans, either, since they all would go to the companies who pay the big bucks... Huh? You apparently don't understand what I'm talking about. The point is that there are employees who WANT to work for the company, albeit at the reduced pay they offer. Only an American citizen has the option of doing so on a career basis. The goal of the immigration law is to ensure that no American loses a job because of an immigrant. It doesn't matter if an immigrant wants to work for a company. The company has to try and find a qualified American or Permanent Resident first, and only if they don't find one, then they can try and sponsor an immigrant. If they don't find one because they don't pay as much as others, that's not an excuse to sponsor an immigrant. Immigration Law 101. If you don't like it, lobby Congress to change it. CIS has to apply the law. -Joe In any case, this is getting quite off-topic here, so I set the followup to alt.visa.us. "Getting"? This was off-topic from the get-go. If you don't want to see any more discussion, just junk the thread. I have no problem with discussing this. In fact, I post quite regularly on alt.visa.us. There are a number of people there who know a lot more about immigration than I do. That's why I prefer to have the thread there. So, again, setting the followup to alt.visa.us. -Joe |

... The goal of the immigration law is to ensure that no American loses a job because of an immigrant. Again, my point is that there are examples (such as the one I've described) where an immigrant is not causing an American to lose a job. It doesn't matter if an immigrant wants to work for a company. The company has to try and find a qualified American or Permanent Resident first, and only if they don't find one, then they can try and sponsor an immigrant. If they don't find one because they don't pay as much as others, that's not an excuse to sponsor an immigrant. Yes, I know all that. Did I mention that I know quite a few immigrant workers? Immigration Law 101. If you don't like it, lobby Congress to change it. CIS has to apply the law. None of what you wrote has anything to do with what I'm talking about. [...] So, again, setting the followup to alt.visa.us. And again, ignoring your idiotic urge to move this thread to somewhere else. I have no idea why I expected any outcome from my comment other than what happened. There's always someone, on Usenet, who feels that in spite of having NO personal knowledge of some situation that they can comment with any intelligence on the wherefors and wherehows of that situation. This time it was you (and others), but it's always someone. I think it's wonderful that there are people so optimistic (such as yourself, Larry, etc) who feel that our government does a perfect job of following the spirit (and even letter) of our laws. That sort of optimism surely improves the world somehow. But it doesn't mean you are right. Pete |
