H1-B visa is TEMPORARY. People who are admitted on that visa are productive, have a job, and pay all US taxes. In short, they are FAR SUPERIOR to immigrants admitted via chain migration, who immediately become permanent visa holder, immediately become eligible for ALL gov’t welfare benefits. Majority are LOW SKILLs, LOW wealth people. And they outnumber H1-B visa holders by tens of millions.

Plz read my tag line.

H-1B is not TEMPORARY. H-1B comes in and then brings in spouse with H-4. Both visa workers remain and have children who are American citizens. Anchor babies. Parents stay kids stay and then they bring in grandma and grandpa.

These are the foreign invaders stealing the white collar jobs and dragging the entire family here.
The IT jobs that Americans can find because these invaders are cheap. Disney , Nissan , Dell , HP , the list of invader employers is long .

I pretty much agree with you.
BUT
Australia does it your way and it is being inundated by legal immigrant Chinese and Indians with educations. If I were Aussie I would not want my country to become a Hindu-Chinese colony. They have massive numbers of Chinese students in their universities and they all want to remain.

H1-B visa is TEMPORARY. People who are admitted on that visa are productive, have a job, and pay all US taxes.

Many employers immediately start the Green Card process for the H1-B employees, which allows them permanent status, and then their kids born here get automatic citizenship. It's a scam on the American people. STEM skills of American students will never improve until this farce is greatly curtailed.

I have only known two.. both rabid Dems who take taxpayer money and benefits by the truckload. A little illegal activity to subsidize them.
One drives up to a Mercedes and presents Medicaid for her very healthy children.
These companies, including our government are tax evaders using foreign workers instead of your kids. They get a great deal on Employer rates though.

H-1B is a wage suppression scheme. If you support it you are a POS gloBULList.

Yes they have :jobs”, many of which were formerly held by US citizens, who are forced to trainI H1 B employees and then get fired. You only have to look around the SF Peninsula, from San Mateo, to San Jose and see how these immigrants, mainly from India ,are having a negative effect on these communities. The schools are inundated with these non-English speaking people and the local hospitals have become ‘de facto ‘anchor baby’ farms. The only reason for H! B is so the Oracles and Googles can bring in cheap labor. In my humble opinion, this program should be stopped. I cannot imagine there aren’t enough US citizens with IT skills to fill these jobs....
