Oh man. I'm not a one-issue voter, but if the above is true, this is deeply, deeply disappointing.

The H1B-racket is among the most pernicious forms of Anti-Americanism in the corporate world.

You can not tell me that we have a 'work ethic' problem that can be solved with importation of third-world visa holders when companies like IBM have laid off employees with 20+ years of tenure...and FORCED them to train their H1B replacement.

I'll probably set my sights on DeSantis for 2028 instead of Vance for now.

Omg.... our PUBLIC schools turn out MAD MORONS!

What's the problem with meeting with an “Indian-origin venture capitalist”?
Sounds OK to me.
Democrats gave taken billions of dollars from Soros, a guy who worked with the Nazis against his own Jewish people in WW II.

“The H1B-racket is among the most pernicious forms of Anti-Americanism in the corporate world.”

Yeah?
Did you complain about the 20 million illegals made up mostly of gangsters, rapists, murderers, child traffickers etc that Biden imported into America in 4 short years?

If anyone, it should be Rubio. However, saying something at a gathering is one thing, but actions speak louder than words. So, let's see what plays out here. The big lie is that these H-1B Vissa holders are smarter. They are not in most cases.

when companies like IBM have laid off employees with 20+ years of tenure

The argument against too much H1B cheap tech labor won’t be won with arguments about “tenure”. An employee’s value today is about what he brings to the table today, not years ago. Obviously experience is helpful. But the word “tenure” has an element of deserving to still be there even if he hasn’t kept up with tech changes. While arguing for H1B reform, which is a valid point, us tech Americans have to also make ourselves the best people in tech.

You post a one sentence excerpt from the media who wants you to think Vance is pro H1-B and you believed it.

[Brian Griffin]

H-1Bs should have to be paid at least 20% above average US amounts for the degrees they hold.

There are some excellent people from India and I do welcome them.

However, forty years ago, I had no reason to think highly of Asian Indian programmers.

[SoConPubbie]

Like DeSantis would be better on this issue with his ties to the Bush family.

I’ll bet Vance comes out strong against the H1-B racket. All this article states is that he met with someone which is the first step in the negotiation process.

“”Oh man. I’m not a one-issue voter, but if the above is true, this is deeply, deeply disappointing.””

If the above “”what”” is true? Vance visited and answered questions. What, exactly, did he do to disappoint you? As the VP, one of his duties is to do exactly WHAT HE DID.... ie visit with foreign dignitaries and answer their questions.

I continue to be amazed at those supposedly not on the left... that are always so ruck-ready to diss and bash and abandon Trump and Vance.... over vague leftist media innuendos of what they might have said or what they what they MIGHT DO.

He should get slammed for it!

It’s a venture capitalist. They aren’t H1B’s. And it’s somebody putting money in the American economy. And it’s not Vance but somebody related to him. So 100% not an issue.
