Harris Miller- promotes H1B visas, ridicules anti-BBV activists.

[Eric J in MN]

A few years ago, Harris Miller of the Information Technology Association of America lobbying group persuaded Congress to double the number of H1B tech visas, which meant hundreds of thousand of Americans lost out on computer programming jobs.

Now Harris Miller is ridiculing people who support voter verifiable paper ballots for voting machines.
----------------------------------------------------
The industry insists that its systems are secure and trustworthy, with or without paper. Harris Miller, who leads a new trade association for the industry, said that the group had no position in favor or against paper trails, but dismissed the issue as a "theological debate within the academic community." Mr. Miller, who is also president of the Information Technology Association of America, called some opponents of electronic voting "black helicopter theorists" and Luddites who "want to go back to the bad old days" of stuffed ballot boxes and chad wars.

2. Miller is one of those ...

... "business can do no wrong" types. Whether he is merely naive about the honesty and ethical behavior of businesses or whether he's part of the greed machine that unemploys U.S. workers and requires them to train their "more qualified" replacements is not known, although I suspect the latter.

I don't know about his political leanings, but given that he loves corporate welfare, unrestricted H-1B/L-1 visas, and now black-box voting, he's probably a greedy Republican.

Democrats -- talk about workplace issues in the campaign. It's a GOP weak point and a free issue you can relentlessly beat up Republicans with. Many conservatives don't like wasteful worker visa programs, while their leadership does. It's a wedge issue.
