I am here before you today to tell you that this claim is not true.

I am here today as an American citizen and an engineer whose life has been devastated by that (H-1B) program.

Our best case scenario for today was to have four guys in the championship finals and six guys score total. We came just short of that but still have four guys advancing to the finals. At this point, they got the job done. We needed four guys in the finals, and they are there. Tonight, I am going to tell them to have fun and relax. We had some great dives. Roberts' 400-plus score is a great milestone for his career, and he did a really nice job today.

There are thousands of unemployed Americans with the skills, drive and creativity needed to thrive in the current marketplace. Yet too many cannot find jobs because companies are turning to H-1B workers as a first choice, before even advertising open positions to American workers.

My reduced role in the company will allow for a smooth management transition, while enabling me to spend more time with my family and on my other ventures.

We are always pleased to see the university growing. We provide a quality education for a reasonable price.
