Hey American students — be sure to go into debt getting that STEM degree so your government can screw you from both ends at the same time by allowing foreign indentured servants to take the job you were counting on to pay back the loans ... and be sure to thank these RINO liars personally every chance you get.
His attorney said that he absolutely needed to have a significant raise to show the critical need for his skills or he wouldn't have a strong case to make to immigration.
At that point he started immediately looking for other employers. He really didn't perform after that.
This high tech worker thing is a scam all the way around from the attorneys that benefit to the foreign workers looking for a way to get into and stay within the US.
H1B / Free Trade / Chamber of Commerce bump for later...
I will NOT disagree with you...indeed, they bring few engineers from Germany, Japan, etc.
But they don’t really pay their imports from the PRC very low wages. (There was one report last year about a little company paying super-low wages to some Indian imports...)
Most of the time, they seem to pay their Chinese imports fairly well. At least, wages that many, many capable American engineers would work for, if only the “American” companies would offer them the jobs.
Therefore, IMHO, I do attribute some accuracy to the (admittedly anecdotal) statments of several corporate managers....displaying a prejudice for the supposed work ethic of the Chinese, etc........and an even stronger prejudice against ...what they perceive or believe...is an extremely poor work ethic amongst many American engineering graduates.
Just the slant on this that I’ve observed most often, is all. It all does bring back memories of Irwin Feerst’s crusade....
Or instead of hiring foreigners, we could just start hiring Americans. I hear there’s almost 93 million people without a job, surely we could hire some of our own.
My corporation has imported half the country of India. These execs would sell their mama for a quick buck. Traitors!
Change the demographic and you change the country. Indian religion, culture, manners, and rituals are unassimilable in western societies.
one additional ingredient...
many, many of the Chinese immigrants bring all-cash to purchase those hyper-inflated little used tract houses you referred to...... you know, the $6,000 shacks of Yore that the Chinese all-cash bidders (mostly) have pushed up to $2 million?
so a lot of the PRC imports don’t need the very highest wages here.... but still and all, the companies don’t seem to pay them noticably less ... the firms just love to hire them in preference to Americans, is all....
another thing to consider.... (and this may be a benefit for America generally, you decide)... a few years back the local sh*t-rag (”newspaper”) reported that the majority of new startup companies in SillyCon Valley are now created and run by (mostly) immigrants from the PRC
there’s a lot going on. Its just that, whether you look at leadership or management or technical level hiring, Americans are increasingly excluded
A fuller analysis (exact reasons) escapes me. Sorry. Just observing ...is all ... and its been well-known for years....just getting more so in the last 4 or 5 years, is all.
I really have no problem with the Indians, actually pretty nice folks.
I loathe my government and corporate execs for this. Stabbing Americans in the back.
foreigners starting new businesses ... is not limited to engineering firms....
it includes, quite prominently in fact, new restaurants, cleaners, mini-marts, gas stations, you name it...
its almost the only economic growth going on at all (depending on location, of course)
I am a technical trainer, MCT, and I teach high-level technical courses: System Center, Exchange, SharePoint, Apache, and lately Azure and Office 365.
This STINKS!
I continue to see students with GREAT skills, who are eminently trainable to new technologies, get the shaft and NEVER get hired. Resumes go out, application web site filled in and sent—never get a single call. Yet Orin Hatch says there are no Americans to do the job? LIAR.
I think I could personally come up with thousands of eligible AMERICAN engineers to do these jobs without EVER having to go outside the country looking for talent. Multiply this by every state and municipality and you’d have hundreds of thousands of trainable talented people.
The catch?
They’re older, have families, expect benefits a normal father and husband would get... AND they’re NOT recent graduates, but rather men who are at the prime of their talents and just need a little knowledge of the new stuff, which would only take a few weeks at most.
Good thing I am working on my own company.
If they don’t get EUV working, semiconductors are going to start dying.
AMD is already close to dead
