Cruz just lost my support..
IT cant unionize, its forbidden by federal law
they have already told me that i will never have a raise or promotion for the rest of my life because i am not a protected class. so my indonesian wife and i have to be barren of children, a home, and all that...
will Cruz pay my retirement costs after depressing my salary or forcing me onto welfare because of H1-B visas (Which will continue to depress IT salaries as they have for decades as most compaies violate the laws)
too bad, i liked cruz
but since he too is showing his globalist position and that immigrants are favored over prior immigrants... so i warn the newcomers... once your here as citizen, they will take away what they give you to get you here... evem more so if your not from india, or such countries... if your from russia, slovakia, and europe in general, you have no country, no home, and non want you alive...
sometimes i think it would have been better my family staying in the soviet union... we would have at least kept our homes, our language, our money and then could come here NOW and succeed. the fact we lost our homes, the family was exterminated, we lost our money, our language, came as refugees... i lived in a slum growing up, and was homeless to attand school after bronx science, as they didnt want males then, women were to knock men out. so i worked really hard from when i was 5 years old... was homeless to attend college courses to get a basic degree.
now i am priveleges and have to have what i earned taken away from me, my family exterminated again by socialism, and they want my voting support.
fie on them..
maybe its time to leave the USA before they start loading us into ovens to hurry things along. its not like socialists havent done that before, eh?
If all it took was a misleading headline, then he's probably better off without it.
Thank you for speaking truth to this. I see this same thing happening not only with native USA IT workers, but also immigrated IT workers who eventually became citizens. You are exactly right - once you become an American citizen - you have less rights and value to companies than imported/offshored workers.
The ultimate goal of this program is to gut IT labor costs for large companies by completely shifting the workforce offshore. Much like was done with manufacturing jobs in the 80’s....
Amazing to sit here and watch Cruz supporters fall for it.
Since the real message here is and has always been "American Industry Does Not Value IT's Contribution to the Bottom Line Enough to Pay More Than a Bare Minimum For It", why not try changing careers, instead engaging in doom talk?
There is no civil right to work in IT for a 2005-era salary just because you are an introvert who likes to play with computers. When the world changes, you have to change with it.
