When I screened the newspaper ads for programming jobs 15 years ago, half of them wanted a response to Bala Cynwyd PA. No, not a massive software company, a massive H-1B clearing house. NANA.
BTW word predict on my tablet does not predict H-1B until I’ve actually typed it once.
Is that an H-1B ping list? Can I get on it?
In the Bay Area, hundreds if not thousands...
I talk to 3-4 staffing vendors daily.
99 out of 100 are Indian/Pakistani.
I’ve changed the name on my resume to Kodedad Khan.
Yup. Real Iowans.
Whatta laff.
Just a bunch of racists, running a game on the pale people called “we gonna get your jobs, whitey”
How does a "temporary" guest worker become an "integral part of our team?"

Don't know if there is an H-1B ping list.
Perhaps Whenifhow can tell us.
PINGING.
Good post!!
[Don’t know if there is an H-1B ping list.]
Someone has pinged the H1b list before, but still looking for who that is.
The war on IT workers started during the first Bush administration.
Probably so. Bill Clinton ramped it up, too.
If foreigners can do it any American with 3/4 of a brain can be taught on the job.
This nonsense was supposed to stop under Trump.
If Sessions was anything other than a retarded fossil he would hold a press conference and announce he was going after any company that is discriminating against Americans.
And that goes double for the likes of this elitist douchebag from Dartmouth.
Donald Trump’s Executive Orders Don’t Fix the U.S. Skills Gap

...Few Americans will dispute these aspirations. Yet implicit in such rhetoric is that America does not need immigrants to meet its talent needs. This notion is mistaken. The data reveal a far different reality: American students trail their peers in too many countries, and American companies struggle to fill too many high-skilled positions that would allow them to thrive.....
America’s performance was worst in math, scoring an average of just 470 — a full 20 points below the OECD average. High performers in math included Singapore (564) and Hong Kong (548), but also Japan (532), Switzerland (521), and Germany (506)....
The under-performance of American students relative to the needs of companies is not a new story. The foreboding “Nation at Risk” report, which equated eroding educational attainment with “an act of war,” was published by Ronald Reagan’s National Commission on Excellence in Education in 1983. But given how long this story has been playing out, its costs today have become very large. Slow productivity growth, wage stagnation, falling rates of entrepreneurship: all these related and intractable problems reflect, to varying degrees, too many American students being too unprepared for the modern workforce....
The desire to create good American jobs at good wages is indeed a worthy one. But no presidential executive order can simply will that desire into reality. We all need to start from the bracing facts. America faces a yawning skills gap that will take a lot of time and approaches to close. Any reform to the H-1B visa program should start with ensuring full enforcement of all existing laws and regulations, and then should be guided by the principle of expanding America’s access to the skills of the world.
Nonexistent - there are 5 million un- or under-employed American STEM workers. Corporate globalists are willing to gut the American middle class with underpaid Third World drones to further fatten their wallets ... and the Uniparty is kneeling in front of them servicing their desire.
” ...America’s performance was worst in math, scoring an average of just 470 — a full 20 points below the OECD average. High performers in math included Singapore (564) and Hong Kong (548), but also Japan (532), Switzerland (521), and Germany (506)....”
You have to watch statistics like this and take them with a grain of salt when comparing to American educational performance. All of the countries named in that above quote are demographically very homogeneous when compared to the USA. I would like to see the USA scores broken out demographically before I get to upset about them.
Strongly agree.
Forgot to post the link.

This sanctimonious scumbag SOB really has a problem with Americans being taught on the job.
Typical of the Ivy League elitists who are running amok.
It isn’t that difficult to program, if you are trained.
Bunch of greedy degenerate bastards, still busy squeezing the last penny out of the middle class.
Trump was hired to stop this nonsense, lets hope he gets the H1-b’s down to ZERO next year.
notice “white dudes” need not apply.
Seems they are milking the h1b low pay gravy train.
slave wages for personal profits.
Honest question:
It seems to be illegal to say “H1B only” in an ad.
Is it legal to say “no H1B applicants” in an ad?
