Per worker per year.
They will make it on one of those flights if they do it like the trains—sitting on the wings holding their bags.
Not the first 2 years
Are these people of Indian decent that went to US schools, or are they trained in India? Big difference-
My experience has been, for those that come here but we’re trained abroad, may it be tech folks, doctors or pharmacists, they do not operate at the level they claim they are trained and experienced.
What is a degree worth from a country like India?
You tell me?
A degree from France, the UK, Germany, Spain, Japan, Australia, South Korea, means something, but India?
We’re brining in a lot of folks that satisfy a criteria for employment in a certain field, but do not actually possess the skills.
“””Not the first 2 years”””
Your memory could use some refreshing.
I wouldn’t hand out a single visa. No need. Plenty of folks here
My oncologist and my radiation specialist were fully educated in India, my surgeon in the US. The hospital they are associated with is a university hospital, so they also do academic work. There are a LOT of Indian nationals there, in every field. I think it’s OUR educations system that’s at fault, our primary and secondary schools are turning out a bunch of idiots, who are well educated in the 1619 project, and “woke” science, environmentalism and social justice, and not much else.
“Boo hoo”
How clever you are!
I can see it: The last flight out of Delhi...and Mumbai...and Bangalore...and...
I can’t argue against the idea that our education system cranks out morons.
But from my experience, which isn’t a proper sampling, the tech folks I worked with in the IT field, doctors and pharmacists I ran across, were not skilled at the level they claimed to be.
That’s not saying they aren’t nice people. But they don’t possess the skills they sell themselves as having.
You’re dealing with a poor country, that has a caste system, and is highly corrupt. Every kid from an upper caste family wants to be a doctor from there. But what is that degree really worth?
We make fun of online degrees, or schools that are degree mills but these places still require certification etc., but then we accept degrees from India?
If I were CVS or Walgreens, I also would bring them in to run my pharmacies across the nation. They’re cheap and they’re glorified pill counters. But I wouldn’t want them compounding drugs.
How come? Didn’t we control Congress?
“””How come? Didn’t we control Congress?””””
Who is “we”? Half the “republicans” in Congress didn’t want Trump to win. He was a threat to their little club.
Yes, I remember now. I had flushed out those unpleasant memories.
tick tick tick. some Indian born judge will over rule tomorrow
This is NOT a big blow to the technology sector. This is good news.
I see that someone has already answered you, but I can tell you a story. I used to work at Intel, and one of my coworkers was an Indian woman (citizen nonetheless!), who was going home to the Bengal region to visit family. I asked how long her flight was, and it was something like 22 hours. I commented on the brutality of that, and she added that “The flight is less than half the travel time. Once I arrive at the airport, I have to take a series of trains and buses to get home, and that’ll take over 24 additional hours”.
So it’s NOT just the flights, it’s all the ancillary stuff associated with the flights that makes it difficult.
Never been that long for me. Direct flight: 16 hours.
Maybe she was just unusually cheap?
I think much over 16 hours you need to see a doctor.
