It would free up This is true of every employee I have (that I would have to replace them if I lost them). By this logic, though, I could say that there are good engineers out there right now because I can't just walk up and tell all my existing employees that I am going to re-evaluate their quality and see if I can upgrade them to someone better. > some jobs for those of us who are American Citizens, who live here and > don't have a home to return to somewhere else, who are in danger of > losing the homes we DO have, who need jobs. One of the engineers in question lives in New Hampshire. He used to live down the street from me, but moved when his wife got a new job. She just had a baby. I believe that he has his license, he speaks excellent english, and pays his taxes. As far as I know he is doing all the paperwork necessary to stay here and become a citizen. I am sorry that you are out of work. But I honestly don't think that this guy deserves to be bumped out of his job through no fault of his own. I have seen plenty of *American* engineers who produce lower quality work than he does, why can't I get rid of them and give you a job? Duane
