We either want top imported talent or we don’t. If this law passes Trump needs to admit no foreign workers, regardless. And give up the “if they come here legally” meme. I am in an industry that has H1B talent from all over the world. In an environment where US colleges are turning out American snowflake crybullies that know absolutely nothing there is a reason, and it is not always pay, we import qualified immigrants.
Yes, some companies abuse the system. But that is mostly coding companies. My industry, aviation, it is dead without imported talent.
And for those who will throw arrows at me you try working with an Embry Riddle graduate.
You are correct? 100k is ridiculous! My significant other is a world renowned Shakespearean phd English professor at a University in the south. She speaks 8 languages, is from India, has studied all around the world and got her PHD from Loyola in Chicago. She is in charge of the international students and leads them on literary tours to Europe every year. She doesn’t make 100k.
Her nephew is a brilliant college student getting a masters currently at Georgia Tech in industrial design. That is one tough program to get into and there is a massive shortage in that field. If he can’t get an entry level job at 100k he should be kicked out of the country?
In aviation, America is facing the largest pilot shortage in history. Yet we train 90% of the pilots in the world. So if those new pilots can’t get an entry level job for 100k they should be banished? While US airlines go out of business because they can’t hire pilots?
There is a shortage of skilled labor in America. Our education system is failing us. 100k is a stupid requirement. Fix the abuse. Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water!
If we start to pay college STEM graduates more then more will major in STEM. The change doesn’t happen over night. You HR types may have to stop low balling Americans. WHAT A SHAME.
