Allowing illegals to stay and opening up the H1B1 visa program will eliminate jobs for Americans. The illegals will fill blue collar jobs and the H1B1 will fill the tech sector.
I have a Computer Science degree with a business MBA. I was forced to use H1B1 hires that got half the starting salary as a fresh college graduate. After I was laid off in 2001 I couldn't get an IT job. Too many H1B1 positions making $30k a year when I was let go at $6oK per year. I resorted back to my military training trade where I made more than I did as a IT Project Manager. My college education put me ahead of the other technicians and I was soon a field team lead making 3 times what I did 5 years earlier as a IT PM. A military Top Secret security clearance helped.
