In the coming weeks, President Barack Obama will announce executive actions designed to improve America's immigration system. While he is expected to focus primarily on people living and working in the United States without documentation, the president also should seize the opportunity to improve the legal immigration system that governs how highly skilled, foreign-born workers are employed in this country.
By doing so, Obama can deliver on one of the top priorities of technology companies -- reform to an outdated visa program that restricts their ability to hire key talent.

You would think that the unemployment rate for US college graduates would be zero. Maybe a big problem is that US universities, paid for by US taxpayers are full of foreign students including Obama's Dreamers.
1) Americans are stupid.
2) Americans can't get the job done.
3) Americans aren't willing to do the work.
And, since foreigners are so much better than Americans in every way, we need to flood this country with people who do not share our values.
It's for the children. And because Global Warming. Or something.
It’s affirmative action race discrimination for us.. and “key talent” for illegals, just as long as they come from socialist hell holes so we can trust their voting decisions.
Sounds like Silicon Valley is looking forward to cheap Mexican labor.
Intel did a 5 year experiment, hired and trained about 100 design and validation engineers in Guatemala and Costa Rica.
They were so bad that after years of having to fix their work, Intel finally got rid of both design centers.
The executive who came up with this stupid idea got promoted.
Managers who were forced to manage these sites decided to take early retirement.
Oh, please bring in more substandard foreign workers to depress my rates even further. I don’t need the money anyway. Never mind that I work my butt off learning new skills constantly in order to keep up with the ever-changing software engineering field. I tell every young person that I meet not to be a software engineer. The profession won’t exist in this country in 10 years, except maybe in the defense industry, and they’re already looking to outsource that.
This agitprop crap doesn’t work like it used to.
Peter Muller? Propagandist.
What we need is to eliminate H1Bs, but instead make it easier for skilled foreigners to immigrate here and get a green card. The tech companies would HATE that, because they would have to pay regular US wages, AND we would be depleting the other countries of their best talent, thus reducing the viability of off-shoring.
It is all about the cheap labor & driving down wages in the IT industry. And then Obama will turn around and whine about income equity and how well the top 1% are doing vs. everyone else.
First, ObOzO will break the system, and, two, companies want cheap workers.
What they really want is a hefty increase in H-1B visas for tech workers. They're OK with the cheap Mexican labor bit as the political price for what they're getting. It's all about wage suppression.
With the DemocRATS’ “Dumbing Down of America” program having been a huge, smashin success, the employers in this country are now forced to hire “highly skilled, foreign-born workers”. According to the San Jose Mercury, Americans are nothing but a bunch of lazy, freeloading dummies who can’t speak with a bad accent while teaching somebody on the phone how to turn on their new computer or return an incorrect or defective product to an online retailer.
The dog turd needs to be impeached.
More importantly it will allow the rich Democrat tech company owners to hire cheap yard boys and nannies.
40 years of Democrat welfare programs have ruined the domestic minorities as good servants. Time to import some more.
Always remember it was Republicans that ended slavery and Democrats that started the Ku Klux Klan to try and keep their former slaves on the Democrat plantations. More of the same.
America industry starving for foreign born techies?
So that’s why we need to let in millions and millions of uneducated, diseased, illegals, put them on welfare and give them free handouts for a lifetime?
They never learn to speak English or learn to support themselves but they quickly learn to vote democrat as soon as democrats can get them registered.

That’s exactly right. The last thing in the world the tech companies want is “talent.” They want cubicle slaves, which gives them a twofer because it also drives down wages and working conditions for American workers, who understand that any squawk in an H1B corporation is going to land them on the street.
That’s right. Millions of new 47%ers is simply the cost of doing business in the cubicle slave trade as far as they’re concerned.
That is called responsible corporate citizenry.
What they really want is to keep wages down b introducing workers who will work at lower wages while they hold their H1B1 hostage.
