You know I been to 11 different countries such as the UAE, Kuwait and Japan, and the one thing I noticed being in those places is that they put their own countrymen and women first everyone else second, why is it the US for some reason does not do that, we do not care for our countrymen and women anymore in fact I say we despise them and sell them out for foreigners.
I became aware of this OPT stuff recently. In California, the Chinese community has managed to start up some companies that hire only foreign students under the OPT program. They justify it with a need for Chinese language as a requirement for the job.
The hope, by the student, is that the year or so they get in the US will be time to land a husband or wife who is a citizen, or to establish their skills so clearly that a $9000 H1B visa will be secured for them within that or some other company.
The big problem is the company that hires them greatly underpays them, and then with that lower labor cost it can defeat US companies for various contracts.
Quite pathetic, actually.
