As per the Oh Law Firm Web site, the bill to recapture the unused GCs has failed in the Senate on July 19, 2007.

Americans do not want to make it any easy for the immigrants, whether they are legal or illegal. They will just keep playing the drama, just to show that they are concerned, like they do drama over Iraq. I heard on the news that there are an estimated 100,000 US contractors in Iraq that could be effected if they pull out from there.

Similarly, the US employers cannot hold on to the GC applicants if they are approved because the GC holders can then move to other employers any time they want to and they can even start their own business. The H1 and the GC system here is a carrot and the stick deal which works very well for the US employers. It is even better with the illegal immigrants since the employers can get away by paying $2 an hour and no payroll taxes.
