I have made a good living FIXING software that had been previously outsourced to India
The transformation will be complete when the ChiComs buy Disney - using our $$.

I believe you.
One of the comments at the site was from a man who had been sent to Mexico to train some of his replacements. The stuff made by the Mexicans tended not to work, and the company (in Wisconsin) had to employ people to fix the non-working stuff from Mexico!
That is a good point: I do no know. Anybody reading this, please supply the H1B visas for this year if you know the number.
I made a living editing reports that had previously been sent to India.
Wealth-producers in the US face the highest corporate tax rates, the most byzantine and arbitrary regulatory burden and the most pernicious legal vulnerabilities found in any country on earth.
See for instance: Burger King, Gibsons Guitars, the water industry in California or coal mining anywhere.
American wealth-producers also have to compete with Government arbitrarily interfering in the market, picking winners and losers. I'm thinking here of General Motors and Solyndra.
The solution is less government and less regulatory overburden.

That is a cottage industry. I work with a combination of H1B and Indians (call center, not casino) who have become American citizens who can’t put together a sentence, much less a paragraph.
Management just overlooks it since they still get paid a lot less than people born here in the USA who went to college here.
The cap is 85,000. 20,000 is reserved for Master degrees or above.

It’s depressing, isn’t it?
The Republicans have no interest in fixing this.
Thank you very much.
The reality here is that the U.S. has slowly been diminishing on the world stage as an economic power. Our own internal decline is only a small part of the problem. The bigger issue is that there are a lot more people living outside the U.S. than inside the U.S. (96% of the world's consumers are not Americans), and as time goes on these other countries pay less and less attention to the U.S. as a market anyway.
I'm not sure what the answer is, but I don't think there's a way out of this that anyone in the U.S. is going to like.
Last week we had a freak microburst storm that tore my flag pole out of the ground and bent it up. So I went to Lowe's to buy a new one. On the box in big letters it read Flag Made In America. I should have known better. When I got home and assembled the pole and installed it in the ground, I noticed, in fine print on the back of the box, Made In China.
At least our nation's flag was manufactured in the right country.
It took over a year and a half but I found a job that paid 1/3 as much and that I liked 3 times as much.
government report seems to say only 65K general cap.
I was wondering about a breakdown to see how many are actually affected. Real numbers help me make good decisions.

1 million legal immigrants, plus 700,000 green cards per year.
Stop ALL immigration now!
Over-regulation and taxation have nothing to do with allowing H1-B workers to come in to this country and take jobs away from Americans. Nothing, zero, nada, zip.
