You want the government to be more effective and efficient at tracking people?

They already:

* have access to your internet usage, search history, and phone records

* track our location through cellphones

* have surveillance cameras everywhere, in case you didn't bring your phone

* track where your cars is through a vast network of ANPRs

* fly drones/planes over cities doing aerial surveillance

And you think that tracking the number of H1B visa holders is too much?

The roadblock as always is bringing all that info together. Few places have access to all that information and a way to synthesize it together.

well if they claim the H1b program is abused, you bet I'd want them to have real data to report that
