Still not seeing the great negotiating skills in play.
The beltway just does not get half the country that voted for Trump.
Good question.
Well said....one look at those whiney snowflakes and the justification for the visas is clear!
These are just stories I have heard, one small set of data. You know Trump’s Florida resort is not going to hire Democratic party rage clowns for any wage, but hot Afrikaner girls with gorgeous smiles, yep.
That’s what I thought it was for. Like ski resorts that hire kids from Norway to to help teach kids how to ski, and resorts that need wholesome kids to work and get to see the US as a summer job.
In some places it could be during summer months when school is out (theme parks, water parks, camp grounds, etc.
In Florida, it is during the winter months when snowbirds from the north flee the cold, and southern hemisphere wealthy flee the stifling hot summers.
During the 2016 election, never-Trumpers made a big deal of Trump's use of H-2B workers from eastern Europe at his Mar-a-lago hotel, by intentionally confusing the furor over the Disney H-1B fiasco where they laid off career IT workers and forced them to train their replacements.
I don't expect a cross-over between the two, since H-2B is for seasonal unskilled labor and H-1B is for highly skilled labor where there is longer-term shortage of workers. We're not going to turn bartenders and maids into programmers and web designers.

Yes, I know that’s its ‘stated’ intent.. but H1B’s stated intent was originally only to find foreign workers for jobs they could not find native workers for, and look how that wound up.
Tech is full of short term contract work... can easily see them gaming the system on this.
Excellent points...don’t expect much support for your clear logic here though.

Give it time..
Income tax when passed was only on the top few percentage of wage earners as well.
Most seemed to be from Eastern Europe....at least while I was there. Polite and happy...enjoying their short time in the U.S.
Let the free market work for all USA labor as it seems to be used as the excuse for an overpaid Hollywood and the CEO managers.
When wages get high enough mechanization will take over. We needed mechanization and cotton gins many years ago and then we would have avoided slavery and the civil war and all the ensuing economic, criminal, and political problems.
Companies are moving their IT systems to the cloud, and decommissioning their on-premises legacy systems. As they do this, the demand for on-site corporate IT departments will go down while the demand for cloud provider IT and Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) provider IT departments will grow.
The thing to watch is whether the displaced corporate IT department workers migrate to cloud and software vendor departments, or if they get left out due to cloud and SaaS vendors using H-1B workers instead of obviously qualified displaced American workers.

You'd be mistaken to see this as a defeat or capitulation on their part - that would mean that these GOP politicians somehow wanted immigration restrictions but caved in the end. In fact, most establishment Republicans are as liberal on immigration as any Democrat (just ask any of the Bushes), so for GOP-E, this is indeed a victory.
That’s insightful and I agree.
Sorry for duplicate post. I find that this occasionaly happens when I post and at a later time I find the post remaining as what appears as a pending previewed post on my open samsung browser. Not sure how this happens. Anyone else have it happen?
