I understood the presentation was given at
one of the numerous "conventions" the
law firm gives 
http://www.cohenlaw.com/news-events.html

seminar... (taken down since then.. ) see

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMeSTlNLNkw

I'm looking for more.. would love to see ALL
the videos on this...

hint: Google:
may immigration law seminar cohen
[ I'm still digging thru the links..

this topic is getting attention.. this was ON CNN...

WAIT!!

This is NOT about Offshoring.

This is about bringing Offshore workers ONSHORE...
AND paying them LESS!

It is about the immigration reforms and the attempts
of Bill Gates and the likes of having UNRESTRICTED
numbers of immigrant white collar workers come to
the USA and work for LESS.

PLEASE see the various videos here:

Yeah, I know Lou Dobbs can be a bit of a
firebrand.. but I think there are some very
important issues going on here.

In particular we should be supporting better
regulations (laws) on this to stop the
abuse of this.

According to stats, the indian consulting firms
are using 70% of the h1b visa slots.. 

why should students major in science/math?
