I can neither understand it nor condone it, nor support politicians who think a 5X increase in H1Bs is an ok thing. I am a computer software professional and our industry had been under systematic attack by the Chinese and Hindus for 20 years now. It' has destroyed the prevailing wage, been a big factor in outsourcing, and made the industry a huge sweat shop.
Two thumbs down on my H1Bs.
I suspect that you are not in an industry that has been targeted. There is *no reason whatsoever* that we can not train our own young people to be computer software professionals. None.
LOL, I am an engineer and I did avionics software for 16 years.
If you took an unbiased look at our education system, you would see exactly why our students cannot be trained. I guess you’re in the group here that think our liberal education system is great.
Pretty weird for a conservative website, and with volumes of data showing the decline of education standards.
BTW, I am not for increasing immigration in any shape or form, legal or illegal.
Wecare already invaded, with many groups refusing to assimilate.
And American workers should be first. It is situations like yours in which I can see the justification for unions. Limited justification, to put American jobs first and not deflate wages.
I just see how our dumbed-down education system has created a whole slew of problems, completely intentional and following the Coward-Piven plan.
I wish you the best in your career. It has to be exceedingly frustrating.
