What will happen is the House Passed the H1B legislation, the senate passed their version and it goes to committee where WE GET ROLLED by having the idiots add back in all the other wants of the DNC.
America dies on that day!
Maybe because the base prefers that the Chamber of Commerce faction at least makes a sincere effort to hire Americans first?
> “There is widespread agreement among both parties and in both chambers of Congress that high-skilled immigration is good for the economy,” Corley wrote. “Congress needs to act now.”
In this day and age this is an anachronism. They way the tech world is connected today there is no need to transport a human being half way round the world on a work visa to Silicon Valley.
Most H1B visa holders are programmers from India. Facebook, Microsoft, Apple and the rest can simply form a work center in Calcutta and disburse work tasks from a distance.
Most of the highly skilled H1Bs I have seen form a beachhead in the USA and maneuver to stay by bringing a spouse, having children and then networking with their own kind to form their own closed society where they hire only among themselves. It is not uncommon then to see entire an department or firm inhabited by one ethnic group.
The so-called advantages are dubious. Facebook, and the rest simply want to import cheap high-tech labor. A US based programmer can earn six figures. An import will earn half and will demand less. I understand the business side of the argument but I also understand the business side is narrow in scope and ignores the societal cost of its short-sightedness.
On the other hand the act of leaving the high-tech worker in their home territory makes oversight of the work product more difficult but technology and management can be tweaked to make it easier.
This is good news if it means the crumbling of the amnesty open borders coalition. That’s a big IF.
Enough of these Hispanics have died crossing the border... for the privilege of working for two bucks an hour... then dumped after they become citizens.
