Those from Mexico work like mules. Gotta take care of their families. Is that the future? We need achievers. Americans are too lazy. Gotta pay for that tattoo. There you have it.

We haven’t had Americans apply for IT jobs in Dallas in a decade... we can’t even find HB1’s anymore... Too few Americans are getting STEM degrees...

M-Visa increases needed!

M-Visa is Manager Visa which brings guest Managers, CEOs, CFOs, Supervisors from African nations.

Our U.S. CEOs are marxist socialists from silicon valley, and we need replacements.

Too bad there’s not a visa available to replace members of the Democrat media, as well as our disappointing politicians.

True. They do work. But they also draw every benefit available for their American born children while lieing about what they make. I worked for our welfare department. Seen it.
I’d have a lot more respect for them if they just worked and didn’t rely on the government/taxpayers to take care of their kids. They think just because their kids are born here it’s up to us to care for them.

O visas are supposed to be temporary work visas for performers and athletes. They are also occasionally used for paid guest lecturers at Universities or corporations.

They are not supposed to be for run-of-the-mill IT workers, and the Trump Administration had better not allow this abuse of the O visa program to happen.

Increase the mimum pay for O visa holders. If they’re that extraordinary, then they deserve $50K a month.

Their kids don’t do well enough in school. That’s where India folks come in. How about disillusioned Europeans? Blend in better. American tourists can interview the entire family for a traditional meal. Racist? Do what’s best. It ain’t welfare.

Really. No shortage in Madison or Chicago last I checked a few years ago. What kind of pay are you offering?

There’s an H1-B outsourcing group on Facebook, with plenty of now-unemployed US workers posting there. I’d bet your employer could find candidates there, by close of business today.

They used to call it crazy money. They knew it was insane for us to give people money for walking across the border and setting a utility pole in order to get residence.

If you had a government building down the street from your home with a sign out front saying free money here, just apply. Wouldn't you be sort of foolish not to take it?

Their kids all turn into thugs. I live in an area overrun with illegals. I don’t know why but honest, hard working illegal parents raise thugs. Maybe it’s the school system. I don’t know exactly why.

Good.

Keep finding those loopholes and advertising them so they too can be shut down.

H-1B = 6 years max.
O = no max.

Why bother with visas? Just throw out the welcome mat and hand them a free perks packet on their way in.

I think you are only partially right. There are a few types of O visas and they don't necessarily have to have anything to do with performers or athletes..... it can be related to medicine, physics, engineering, education or other vocations. The criterion is just that the person is recognized internationally as being an expert in his/her field and can provide evidence of that expertise.
