As long as they can legally work in the U.S., companies should be allowed to hire the best qualified person at the best price.

As long as they can legally work in the US....

Even if the company got H1B Visas or guest worker visas by falsely claiming US workers weren't available to do those jobs?

[SauronOfMordor]

H1B is all about importing foreigners to replace US citizens.

[DuncanWaring]

What’s your view on the concept of H1b realtors?

[the OlLine Rebel]

Agreed. Except for the “illegal alien” part. The person should be legal.

Anyone reading the excerpt knows Trump himself is doing it.

Sure, but it’s a little more complicated than that. Temporary workers have significantly less wage bargaining power as their visa is tied to that one employer, but they also can generally accept less, because they’re ultimately usually sending or bringing that money back to someplace with a lower cost of living. For those reasons, there is obviously an incentive for employers to discriminate against U.S. workers in favor of temporary foreign workers, and the law has been set up so that they can only “legally work in the U.S.” if there is a compelling reason to allow them to do so, i.e. U.S. citizens can’t be found who could do the same work.

Key word is discriminate. Diversity Nazis still rule corporate america.

[catnipman]

so you were perfectly OK when Sun Bank and Disney fired all of their IT workers and hired H1Bs for the positions and then extorted the fired workers to train their replacements or forfeit all severance pay?

My son-in-law was let go the day before his 40th birthday, after working for the property management company for 10 years. The reason, he wasn’t “fluent in Spanish to communicate with the many Hispanic employees!”

The company needed a “fluent in Spanish” manager to give orders to the workers (they replaced all of those who were fluent in English and of course, worked for much less)!

The company’s former employees also drove the many company trucks and the company now needed a manager that could drive the new workers from site to site!

Amen....

Where does it end? If the Republicans ever want to gain majorities that last they have to dump this globalist attitude and become pro American labor Buzz off.

[grey_whiskers]

You mean ,”US citizen.”
Else you are a RINO globalist trip.

[SgtHooper]

But also at a rate commensurate with the currently prevailing wage in the US.
