Here is some perhaps good news that I received from another mailing list
I'm on.

http://www.house.gov/tancredo/PressRelease/tancredo_proposal_strengthens_do.htm

Apparently Rep. Tancredo (R-CO) is sponsoring legislation to reduce the
number of H1-B visas to around 55,000 a year.  Also, he is proposing that
for every 1/4 of a percentage point that the unemployment rate is above 6%
that the number of available H1-B's be reduced by 10,000.

This theoretically would open up more jobs for US citizens.  I don't know
what your individual opinions are concerning H1-B legislation, but I'm
personally for this proposal.
