The notion that H1B visas are necessary because America doesn’t have enough white collar workers is pure B.S. My brother has two Master’s degrees, one of which is in chemistry. He gets a professional journal for chemists that reports on the large number of employed chemists in this country who can’t get jobs because jobs in the pharmaceutical industry and similar industries are being outsourced to India and elsewhere.
I am unemployed and have a Masters in library science. I’ve discovered that jobs are being given to librarians from Communist China, India, Taiwan, etc. No doubt they’ve come here on H1B visas and are hired to fill diversity quotas. There are often 200 or more applicants, most of whom are American citizens, for these jobs, but employers, particularly universities, prefer to import minorities. Probably to fill “protected” group categories on some government reporting form or to make it look like they’re adhering to the demands of their “social equity” offices. They are not importing these people because of a shortage of well-educated Americans for the positions. That is pure bunk.
I meant unemployed chemists of course. I’m so mad I can’t type straight.
oh I agree with you on that.
The Department of Labor, rather than ICE, is the true policeman of the HI-B program. There are eight or ten Labor Regional offices around the country. Go on line, figure out which regional office serves your area and scroll the regional web page until you find the foreign labor certificartion people.
