These are the people we want. Present policy gets it backwards, keeping out talented people with money while letting unskilled poor people flood the country.

Right, we can take in a hundred million second grade third world drop outs, but only maybe 25k people with an education a year. Maybe 35k these days, I am not certain of the number, but it is low.

You want me to be unemployed, thanks.

Except that many businesses hire them at sub par wages, freezing out US citizens.

America's Bogus Skilled Labor Shortage

[DuncanWaring]

There is not a shortage of high-tech workers in this country.

The shortage is of high-tech workers who are willing to work for $30 per hour, no benefits.

Um, not really. The vast majority of them are very UN-talented, don't speak English well, and only care about sucking from the great big teat that is America.

[EvilCapitalist]

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.

Likewise, talented Americans shouldn't think twice about relocating to foreign countries to work for companies based there. That's just free trade don't ya know.
