"...What it means: This aligns with the administration's focus on reserving the temporary visas for very high-skilled (and higher-paid) professionals while encouraging low- and mid-level jobs to go to American workers instead. The new guidance affects applications for the lottery for 2018 fiscal year that opened Monday..."

We voted for Mt. Trump to hake things up and take bold actions against the globalists. Not small steps and half measures.
Most likely Burlington....right by the 128 tech-belt.
“Maybe we should make it against the law to be born in the USA. More and more it seems like a curse more than a blessing.”
Markets usually make the best decisions.
When I’ve hired people, I don’t care about where they are from, I simply care if they are qualified and are the best person that is available on the market at that moment.
Yeah, I know people who have gotten burned by outsourcing programming tasks overseas.
The market should be the US market not global labor arbitrage.
We nationalist know that there are amoral non patriots that would stab their mother in the back to make 2% more on the dollar. We have to fight them an get that option off the table. That is what killing H-1B does, it forces the globalist to play in our back yard. As it should be.
You want to piss on the parade I say piss you.
Yes there are abuses with the H-1B program, but there is no way we will abolish the H-1B program.
However, the abuses need to be reduced.
Separate from the H-1B program, jobs should always go to the most qualified candidate and there should be no preferences based on race, gender or as long as the person is legal, nationality.
jobs should always go to the most qualified candidate and there should be no preferences based on race, gender or as long as the person is legal, nationality.
jobs should go to whoever the employer wants to hire for whatever reason he pleases.
That too.
Average US IQ and height hav been declining severely thanks to the mestizo/indian invasion over the last couple decades. It would be nice to have minimum IQ and height requirements until we’re back to normal.
It probably was burlington. It wasn’t far from Sun Micro, Mitre, etc.
It’s not a cynical remark.
It is just a reality.
Businesses will seek the lowest cost legal labor.
If they can contract a coding project to someone overseas for a quarter of the cost that it would cost to hire someone in the US they will.>>>> coding maybe but software development at it’s heart is a communications process. It includes testing and training.
You are assuming that they are getting students who can actually learn software engineering. That might not be the case.
All it takes is an EO and it should be done. Post haste.
That’s part and parcel of standing on the neck of the admins of the colleges and universities.
No more social engineering crap. Demonstrated capability to learn and function and no thing else considered.
ITAR or Export controlled data makes off-shoring difficult for certain types of companies.
I’d submit the only companies who are going to be in a hurry to offshore work to India are those who have never done it. We tried it... Massive fail.
Part of that is our IT shop is more of a COTS oriented shop, which doesn’t work well with workers who have Java libraries memorized. The emphasis on integration thus, makes it very difficult for someone who doesn’t communicate well.
I don’t understand your comment about you always hiring the best. If you are sponsoring an H-1B, then from what I know you aren’t exactly throwing up a job req on indeed.com, there is serious paperwork involved. Unless there is a point where the H-1B is a free agent. How long are they indentured servants?
This must become the way things work, or we will die as a Nation. High school kids are being taught some poor learning habits and little subject content. This is frightening.
True, but many companies have discovered how terribly that works.
Good. So let them. Funny how they've felt the need to BRING THEM ALL HERE for the past 20 years.
Really? So, you've hired H1Bs at the same or higher salary than US citizens?
