I still remember a video I saw over 10 years ago on the internet where a very prominent law firm hosted a conference to all the big tech companies (i.e. IBM, Compaq, Dell, Microsoft etc) and the agenda on How Not To Hire American's!
Basically they taught the H.R. folks that they need to make the job requirements to be so difficult, long & hard that impossible to fill it and then present these jobs to a list at the State Dept and complain that the USA employees are not up to the task.
They then post these jobs overseas (i.e. India) where they do have tech workers but the foreign exchange rate is very favorable. In India the rate to the Rupee is 12:1 and to hire a Indian worker and pay them US $25,000 is a HUGE deal to them but its screwing the American workers at 1/3 the price.

Inflation has occurred in spite of foreign labor flooding the market.
My rent has doubled in 20 years.

I am saying that a lot of inflation is due to immigration. More people looking for goods and services plus lower productivity drives up prices and taxes.

If you come on a H1B work visa, you should have to leave the country to make application for a green card. What is this BS of jumping the line?
To: Oshkalaboomboom
If they deport tens or hundreds of thousands of DACA people, Hondurans, etc. and don’t cut back on the H-1B program, it will be pretty clear how much money talks.
To: Oshkalaboomboom
Making one small change would suffice.
If a foreigner offers a premium skill that no American can fulfill, then we need them.
A premium highly skilled employee - regardless of country of origin - deserves a premium wage.
Make it so those eeeeevil corporations don’t take unfair advantage of our brothers across the seas, every H-1b must be paid at least a 25% premium above the prevailing wage.
If they aren’t worth that premium, the company doesn’t really need them, they can hire a slightly less skilled American and make do...

There is quite a large Indian community where I live due to H-1Bs. This would make a huge change in short order.

I'll eat my hat if they deport any DACA people.

Please please Mr. President, cut off the American worker killer that is H1B!! IT companies are laying Americans off in droves for H1B workers and it gets worse every year.
