Some AI queries:
What are the dominant job types for H1B people?
The dominant specialty occupation occupation (65%) for the last 10 years have been Computer Science or Computer Engineering types. STEM jobs in general are over 90% of H1B occupations.
Indian H1Bs are not concentrating in plumbing or brick masonry. They have to have a bachelors degree in some STEM discipline. “While a wide range of occupations qualify as specialty positions, the H-1B program remains heavily skewed toward technical and professional fields requiring a bachelor’s degree or higher in a directly related specialty.
This does NOT read like there are American Dreams being stolen. Now, just recently, I have definitely heard of Computer Science types unable to find jobs, but that is recent and not extending over the 10 years of the above stats. AI is taking those jobs, and it’s taking them from Indian H1Bs as much as from new Comp Sci grads.
As an American software engineer for the last several decades, I can assure that opportunities and wages have been significantly suppressed by foreigners with H1B visas. The wages part is by design no doubt.
The H1B visa program must be canceled and current H1B visa holders sent home to make their own countries great. The program is counter productive to it’s stated goal, as most government programs are. It’s also immoral for America to strip mine human capital from other nations.
MAGA!
So uh...Owen...which part of the Wasatch Front do you hole up in? Lehi? Tremonton? Or some other out of the way backwoods town like um Richfield?
There are entire cities in California that are now ethnically Asian majority like San Jose, Cupertino and Saratoga because of the mass influx mostly from India.
If the H1B program is all about filling in technical shortfalls, why is it 80% Indian? Are Germans/French/British/Polish/Italian/Swiss/Greek people unable to do technical jobs? That would be a bit shocking since they invented most of the technical world and still have a rather large part in it.
But I guess if you have a narrow, isolated view you might think it’s not like that...but let me assure you, having been right in the forefront of it, it IS like that.
Trump is Dead Right. India used H1B to invade and arrogate American jobs and companies, and used their “protected class” status to accomplish that.
Wrong. Well, actually, right but for the wrong reasons.
I work with AI on a nearly daily basis. Even the most advanced AI is incapable of authoring any significant software. Sure, I can make it do the simplest things. I cannot tell you the last time I coded a Regex. But anything worth a damn? Nope.
And I have a MIT certification in AI and Business Impacts; I'm learning Machine Learning next semester; I use AI Prompt Frameworks such as COAST, CREATE, TACO, and STEER, so I know what I'm talking about.
AI, at this moment in time, is nothing more than a high-brow pattern-recognition and pattern-matching tool. It's a very interesting and powerful one, but it is not truly creative. It does not possess the intuition and creativity of a human.
Will it someday? Maybe, if it doesn't go off the rails first. Once I get some time again, I intend to write about this topic in my next sci-fi novel.
Now, many managers believe AI will lessen the need for developers. After they figure it out, that AI is not a panacea, I expect there will be a GREATER need for developers... those who know how to leverage AI. Management has been lured before by 'panacea promises'... SSIS, low-code solutions, no-code solutions... and while they have helped drive developer productivity, in no way did they ever supplant the need for developers.
AI will not replace developers. Developers who leverage AI will replace developers.
Owen this had been going on for 30 years . YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE F YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. The job stealing and wage suppression is ending!!!
Have you ever worked in IT or been paid to write a line of code?
NEW: a reader shares pictures of Delta Airlines staffers at their headquarters in Atlanta. Almost entirely Indians.
He writes that 98 percent of Delta's IT department is Indian, their CTO is Indian, and their VP of IT is also Indian.
Given that Indians have been implicated in… pic.twitter.com/pjmWvCeLvR— Matt Forney (@realmattforney) November 1, 2025
