H-1B reform right on time

Then we will have to respectfully disagree. I do see a need, although rare, for H-1B visas to be used to meet domestic market imbalance. I gave a very real world example where, via government professional licensing issues conflicting with government requirements for providers, demand could not be met no matter what salary was being paid. The total number of licensed professionals in the US was less than the total number of openings in the US.

Even where professional licensing is not an issue, there have been times where industry growth created a number of openings that could not be met by the domestic labor market. Hampering industry would be detrimental to the US being competitive in the world market. It is not a common situation, and the current H-1B system is too broad and open and does not adjust to true need. H-1B visas should be used to keep the US competitive by meeting shortages of high demand professionals, not to depress wages where there is already a sufficient supply.

Clearly you are not an America for Americans type. Go Trump go! Hopefully gloBULList types will be put in their place when Trump takes office.

H-1B do the opposite, it weakens incentive to study STEM in college knowing that quislings are going to undercut them in the market place by cheap foreign imports.
