How-Not-to-Hire-U.S.-Workers Law Firm Fires Back

theodp writes "Congress is now calling for a Dept. of Labor investigation into a Pittsburgh law firm after a video showing its attorneys advising employers how to game the immigration system was posted on YouTube. Cohen & Grigsby, the firm in question, issued a statement insisting their statements were commandeered and misused, but would not allow CBS to view the original video in its entirety. Cohen & Grigsby has also been advising employers since 2002 that they have nothing to fear if they keep employees in the dark about the existence of DOL-required H-1B Public Access Files."

The emphasis is on less money, not better. BUt I digress. I agree - companies should and do hire whomever they want.

However, this should only be the case of other nation, specifically the G8, are held to the same standard. Which they are not. German companies are currently looking to the US with envy... they want to dump their expensive German workers for cheap Chinese and Indians. Fairly draconian immagration law there currently makes this practice less than feasible.

In Ireland, we saw a different phenom: the jobs simply picked up and moved to Poland and Russia.

So. Keep up youy Anti American rhetoric... but don't cry in your beer to us when you come to work, notice a stench of curry in the air, and find some coolie sitting at your desk.
