I'm having a little trouble understanding your position. Do you feel that any individual or group that advocates a limit, even a high limit, on the number of immigrants or guest workers who can come to the united states each year is "anti-foreign worker?"
Keep in mind that even without the H1B visa, the USA already takes in about 1.2 million immigrants legally each year. I also believe the principle objection to the H1B is that it specifically targets a few professions, causing a greater disruption to engineers/scientists (and potentially discouraging young Americans from entering these fields). Many people who are opposed to the H1B visa are not opposed to more general immigration.
Anyway, thanks for responding. As you can probably tell, I take a dim view of the H1B visa. I do think it's important to have a healthy (but limited) infusion of talent from other countries, but I think that we need to ensure that it is not overly concentrated in a single field, and I do believe that it is reasonable to enforce absolute limits to the number of people who can come to the US each year. I believe that this position is more pro than anti-foreign worker.
