I have written extensively regarding the harms of the controversial H1-B Visa program.
Here are links to nine articles and LTEs that I have written regarding highly-skilled labor markets and the controversial H1-B visa program. The bolded article is the one that connects corrupt lobbyist Jack A. Abramoff with the Microsoft Corporation.
The H-1B Visa program has been a powerful tool of the economic elite to increase income inequality in the United States. The "Career Destruction Factory" article below includes a graph of a measure for income inequality called the GINI Ratio which has been tabulated by the U.S. Census Department. The trend since 1965 has generally been to increase income inequality.

I was able to get "on the record" in the case USA v Abramoff. I attended Jack Abramoff's sentencing hearing on 4 September 2008 at the DC District Courthouse. My 110 page "Victim Impact Statement" is document #40 in the Court docket in PDF format. It was filed with the Court on 3 September 2008. A searchable PDF copy is available at: http://www.cwalocal4250.org/... . Also: http://tinyurl.com/... It is also available including Judge Huvelle's handwritten approval comment via the DC District Court's PACER website.
Please tell me what you think about these articles, particularly the newest Social Contract article, which is about the "Abramoff Visa." Thanks!
