Doh! Schumer hoist by his own petard

This is too good.

Sen. Schumer has pledged to undo a provision included in the stimulus package that will make it nearly impossible for New York’s banks to hire foreign workers through the H-1B visa program.

The amendment to the stimulus bill, proposed by Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Chuck Grassley, D-Iowa, originally would have banned the visas for any company that received money from the Troubled Assets Relief Program, or TARP. A compromise lifted the ban, but companies will still be required to hire from the growing pool of laid-off American workers first. Advocates say that the mandate is so onerous that it will virtually stop banks from bringing foreign workers into the country.

Maybe you assholes will let someone read the damned thing next time.

    Sounds good to me, Shumer getting his balls busted for it makes it even better.

    Read it? I think you are making a big assumption that they can read. . . and if they can that they have the IQ to actually comprehend it. . .
