JEFF SESSIONS TARGETS MARCO RUBIO’S H-1B VISA BILL, SAYS HE’S ‘QUASHING’ AMERICANS’ DREAMS

I was thinking the same thing too. This is why Trump is resonating out there. Cruz, Walker, Rubio, and the rest all have to do their corporate donors bidding.

I am hoping Ted Cruz sees the light and backs away from this Hi-B Visa deal.

The University of Washington (Seattle) has its own local cable TV channel.

About once a year Bill Gates speaks in the Computer Science complex, and UW broadcasts it.

The American students treat him like a rock star, in spite of the depredations of H-1B.

I will guess that 20% of the CS students, perhaps more, are foreigners paying full tuition.

Once again, the American students seem oblivious to the fact that many of those foreign students will roll straight into a H-1B job after graduation, or will accept paid IT jobs under “internship” or “training” or “work-travel” visas.

Rubio is a Manchurian candidate with serious nation-wrecking ideas.

Companies are using these visas to essentially hire slaves workers (at a higher than minimum wage) while Americans have the flexibility of moving to another company, these immigrant workers are basically tied to that company and will not be in a position to move to a higher paying job. It’s common sense. Restaurants and construction companies want cheap, compliant illegal workers, why wouldn’t tech companies want the equivalent?

[bkepley]

They’re not paid cheap...at least not all of them but you have a point about slave labor. They also use H1-B to try to satisfy the EOEC.

That's fine but not true where I work and I know.

[ConservingFreedom]

Sure, not ALL of them are paid Third World wages - and it stands to reason that the higher paid ones would be concentrated at certain employers.

[bkepley]

Come to think of it one of our H1-B’s left for a different company so I don’t know if they are in fact slaves or not.

[ConservingFreedom]

The visas attach to the employer not the employee, so there must have been a special arrangement between his old and new employers - or else he changed from H-1B to some other status.

Actually there were two, one from Rhodesia (or what was left of Rhodesia) and one from Mexico so it must not be that hard to do among friendly corporations.
