The R’s and D’s are doing what they are doing and the more I realize what they are doing the more disappointed I am with it.
The positions of the big parties and their elected officials are being tailored to bring in big campaign contributions from special interests. Immigration is one example.
Its also a lot of hype and show using emotional issues to suck money out of little people’s wallets and get their votes in elections that don’t change the downward trend.
My hope is in a Higher Power showing me a better way than this fantasy that the choices in the political system offer me right now.
A solution that is ‘more than politics, but less than violence’........
If they’re like Millennial “I won’t work 9-5” on the other thread frankly I don ‘t blame them.
I’m fine with the H1B visa program.
Tying illegal immigration is a fraud.
I wish I could “tie” illegal immigration.
I like Thai food...
They want to blur the lines.
We all know these tech companies truly don’t need that many foreigners to write basic code. They just don’t want to spend their money working to get Americans into the tech market. They know they are lazy and stupid and our education system turns out morons.
*******
Those pro-amnesty people are very clever: They mix legal immigration with illegal immigration. They say something like this:
"We need highly skilled tech workers, landscapers, and restaurant workers like MacDonald workers, so we must legalize all the 11 million illegals already here." What a bunch of crap.
Let me see if I have this right: Tech companies argue that we need the brightest techs from places like South Korea, China, Taiwan, and India so that we can compete against smart people in South Korea, China, Taiwan, and India?
Say what? If we get the brightest from those countries, then it means that people in those countries are competing against themselves. So who is left in those countries to compete against those techs that moved to the US? How crazy is that?
I can hear the tech teachers in Asia telling their students: "A tech background is the quickest way to get a green card and become an American citizen. Then Later you can bring the rest of your family to the US." What crap.
And then this happens: Those bright people leave the companies to start their own tech companies, and the vicious cycle of recruiting foreign Asian tech workers start all over again.
NOTES:
1. European techs: have you noticed that most of the new techs come from Asia, especially India? Why is that? What is wrong with European techs? Aren't they smart enough?
Let's be honest: If I told you that most of the new techs would come from Latin American countries like Mexico and Brazil instead of from Asia, you would laugh in my face.
2. Microsoft: We must demand that tech companies like Microsoft set up programs---has Microsoft and other tech companies ever heard of internships---to recruit American tech workers, many of them unemployed but anxious and eager to work and learn.
3. "immigrants do jobs that Americans won't do": I can't think of many tech jobs, especially entry level tech jobs, Americans won't do.
4. Statue of Liberty: We should point it towards Asia, and instead of saying "Send us you poor...", we should inscribe something like this:"Send us your smartest and brightest tech people and your richest people who speak English..." Sarcasm.
5. German techs: I bet that if the US government said that the vast majority of new techs would now come from Germany instead of Asia, the American public would suddenly become very scared, and they would protest that we can't have all these Germans here because they would try to take over the country and start a war.
Asian countries would protest that if the US limited the flow of techs from Asia, they wouldn't have any room for all the techs that their schools are now graduating and thought they were going to the US.
Yet silicon valley supports Common Core, which prevents the US from graduating enough competent engineers. They are too busy teaching multi-culturalism and degrees that have no market value. No problem for all of the American checkout clerks, they will be excused from paying the tab. I guess they’re counting on tax dollars from foreigners who have the high paying jobs.
That’s exactly what they want. But not everyone can be the next ‘start up’ and become the next Gates/Jobs.
But the H1B allows the companies to hire cheap labor. No different than the farmer needing his crops picked or the homeowner needing his lawn cut.
Well I can’t say I have heard NOTHING from Silicon Valley, but it’s been mighty quiet compared with the rest of the country.
Why do you think this is?
I’m fine with the H1B visa program.
more H1-B visas ain’t gonna fix the border. and being as I have lived in sillycon valley for over 30 years, I fail to see how amnesty fixes anything that plagues this state.
how some could be so willing to sacrifice this nation for a few votes is beyond me.
I guess they can always send their kids to private schools and foreign countries on vacays.
The rest of us slubs, good luck.
Part of it could be the factor of distance. But when I was going through this drill before, I saw a lot more from California than I do now. It’s like it is suffering a worse recession than the rest of the country.
Under a capricious government, everyone lives from minute to minute. There is a good case to be made that it’s shortsighted to do this, but being farsighted has gotten people smacked in the face as the illusions keep shifting.
