The plan is simple import third world voters to allow the democrats to overwhelm Americans at the polls so as to finally implement socialism. The Republicans get the benefit of driving wages down to third world levels and receiving tons of cash for their chamber donors so they get a seat at the table in Washington too. No where in this equation is anyone giving a rat’s ass about American citizens who will not only have their standard of living driven down to third world levels but also will be expected to bear a heavy tax burden to help subsidize the arrival of the new “Americans”.
Disney is part of what is and has been WRONG with America. To think that some families that can’t even begin to afford it, save all year just to go there. We are in a sad state of affairs. America is going down the tubes fast.
I guess it's Not Such a Small World After All!
Disney is doing this because:
“It’s a small world after all
It’s a small world after all
It’s a small, small world”
Right on. As long as spoiled American kids want to get worthless degrees in “World Music Theory” or “Corporate Social Sustainability”, rather than hard Engineering and Science; that void will have to get filled somehow.
I recruit & hire engineers, and the pool is very shallow. Probably 5 out of the 60+ that I’ve hired in the last year have been H1B foreign nationals.
From my experience, they tend to have more dedication, loyalty, and work ethic than the average American Millennial coming out of college (mid to late 20 year-olds).
I don’t believe it—US techies leaving the country because of H1B competition. Smart techies have a world of opportunity here. It’s the below average ones, generally, who get forced out.
Much easier to move to where the tech jobs in the US than out of the country for a tech job.
What makes you think Trump is against H-1Bs and L-1s?
The only disqualification the Disney employees had was a high salary.
Until we can turn out better engs, med techs and so on we will need to find qualified people somewhere.
...
As a whole they aren’t better qualified, but they can be abused and used to drive down wages.
> H1B workers aren’t a hundredth the problem that low-skill, government-dependent, high-crime illegal Latinos are. Unlike all other immigrant groups, Latinos have a record of becoming if anything more socially dysfunctional, on average, at least three generations in.
3 generations in less than 4 decades easily and with so many siblings and their offshoots they multiply at an astronomical rate
Foreign workers work cheaper... Slaves even cheaper yet... Might be time to boycott the mouse.
That too.
“The plan is simple import third world voters to allow the democrats...”
I worked with a guy once who told me that his brother, a millionaire, belonged to a think tank, and that they (members) were informed that the movers and shakers were planning to bring down the wages of Americans to coincide with the rest of the world. That conversation occurred about twenty-five years ago. The plan you mentioned has been in place for a long time. The wages for Americans have already been cut in half; the standard of living wasn’t initially reduced because women entered the workforce providing a two-parent income. Another part of the plan was to flood the nation with immigrants to dilute and finish off the traditional American nation. Obama/McConnell/Boehner did not originate the plane, they are merely implementing the it. That would have been regarded as wacky “conspiratorial” nonsense thirty years ago (and I thought as much), but now it is historical fact. I won’t even engage the toxic social issues that are being forced on the nation.
Mexican-Honduran couple next door have 9 kids so far with no signs of slowing down, and NO visible means of support.
I am currently going through this exact scenario - and it has nothing to do with expertise. It is all about salary and seniority. I had the least seniority and a market salary for the 20+ years I have in systems engineering. Even those that did not get the layoff notices are looking for other jobs. Everyone knows that this is just the first wave.
This is the first week that some those who received notices are leaving. There are several different dates involved -depending on the complexity of training your cheap substitute(s). Morale sucks.
I was asked to travel to India for up to 2 months to train my replacement(s). I said no - as did the rest of my team. We are now training via desktop sharing. There is severance involved - but that can’t replace a full time job.
I have no doubt I’ll find other employment before my time is up, and this may be the first time I walk out on a job - rather than give notice.
I could never see Obama as president either, but there you are!
“It’s a Small World After All...
It’s a Small World After All...
It’s a Small World After All...
It’s a Small, Small, World”
So why would these people want to destroy the same middle class that buys most of their stuff?
Communists.
Why America steals doctors from poorer countries
here is one thing we can all agree on, surely. The US system of higher education is the best in the world. Harvard, MIT, Princeton and the rest dominate the league tables. Of course Oxford and Cambridge poke their Hogarthian noses in too, but all surveys suggest that around 75% of the world’s best universities are in the US.
But what do these universities do so well? Publishing attention-grabbing research, and raising money from alumni, obviously. What they don’t seem so good at is supplying the needs of the US high-skill labour market. The US relies on soaking up talent educated elsewhere, as a book entitled Give Us Your Best and Brightest by Devesh Kapur and John McHale amply demonstrates. For example, of Indian-born residents of the US, about 40% have a graduate degree – many in science and technology – compared with about 10% of the “native-born” group.
And the picture is even clearer when it comes to medical education. A recent report in The Lancet shows that the US simply does not train enough doctors to meet its voracious appetite for medical attention. Each year many more doctors retire than graduate from its medical schools and so the US is compelled to raid the world to make up the difference.
For decades about 25% of doctors practising in the US received their training elsewhere. This now amounts to close to 200,000 doctors educated abroad. Around 5,000 were trained in sub-Saharan Africa; predominantly Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa, but also elsewhere. In 2002, there were 47 Liberian-trained doctors working in the US, and just 72 working in Liberia. And even when a doctor is recruited from Canada, Canada then looks to South Africa, and South Africa to wherever it can. The poorest will always lose out.
In most countries, especially in the developing world, doctors are trained at public expense. If a doctor from Ghana is recruited to the US, not only does Ghana lose its doctor, it loses the money paid for the training. It may be that the doctor is likely to send a portion of earnings back home (known in the development business as “remittances”). But this is scant compensation. In sum, the US is receiving a massive subsidy from the developing world in training its medical staff.
