That’s a slander against the many American kids who study STEM in college - then have to compete for jobs with h1b visa Indians. Michelle Malkin has documented that the problem isn’t lack of qualified American workers - it’s the greed of corporate bosses who want foreign workers so they can pay them less and work them harder. Trump seems to be casting his lot with these vile ceos , and it’s not going to help his re-election chances

I spent the last 20 years of my corporate life managing big tech projects, and I always had to hire qualified people with specific skills to join in and get the job done. Salaries we offered were based on prevailing levels of pay for the skills, and never once did it matter who the applicant was... American or not. When I needed someone who could to the task, they got the job and the pay we offered.

Anyway, Trump has never said that he would stop legal immigration. Anyone who thought he did say that, wasn't paying attention.

What Trump wants to do is to stop having to allow in 1,000 unskilled criminal immigrant for every 1 skilled one we bring in. Without some sort of "deal" he will never be able to achieve that.

If you want a president who will stop all immigration, even for skilled workers, then good luck. Trump's not the one, and sure as hell, no Democrat is either.

You were part of the problem. If you weren't FOR the many American kids who studied STEM in college, then you were against them.

Welcome to West India, everyone.

I've seen US citizen native born PhDs let go in favor of lesser qualified foreigners.

This is nothing but a money grab originally spearheaded by Greedy Executives and McKinsey & Co.

Given that GE are known frauds who cooked the books for decades to please Wall Street (e.g. manipulating earnings to always come in 1 penny over estimates) and who outsourced manufacturing to China in favor of GE Finance (another sham), ...

All the H1Bs ought to be forcibly evicted from the US.

Microsoft had a $57 billion one-time dividend.

This implies management failure, as it means they couldn't think of any business enterprise to put the money into, to get a decent rate of return, so they just gave it to shareholders; also, if they'd just invested in State bonds (therefore free of Fed taxes) they'd have netted over $1 billion a year in free cash flow without touching the principal or affecting continuing operations. They could have paid ALL going rate US salaries from that.

Naked, unspeakable greed to a degree that would have made the robber barons blush.
