Update to Lyre, Lyre, Pantz & Fier

(Update to Lyre, Lyre, Pantz & Fier)

ComputerWorld has provided a link showing letters from both Cohen & Grigsby PC and the Department of Labor that were issued in response to letters sent by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), in which the congressmen demanded a response to the statements made by the lawyers in the infamous YouTube video. ("Our goal is clearly not to find a qualified and interested U.S. worker".) The images of the scanned letters in the .pdf file are of poor quality, but should be legible with increased magnification.

I thought it would be fun to have a contest to see how many inaccuracies we could spot in the letters, starting with, from Cohen & Grigsby, "Moreover, the employees for whom we file H-1B visa petitions are typically highly skilled and highly educated employees of U.S. companies who get wages above - often well above - federally mandated 'prevailing wages'." (On second thought, that statement may be correct, since the prevailing wage might be close to $0.00. Hardly any native-born Americans are performing the work anymore.)
