In the past when there were foreign invaders we would have a war.

I'm not sure if $100,000 was the right amount to "tariff" and H1B visa, but there had to be a tariff of some sort. Too many H1B's were being imported because they were cheaper than the domestic alternative, not because they were better.

The default setting to change that thinking needed to be disrupted.

What’s this supposed to mean? Foreign workers are invading us?

I’m somewhat entrenched among the Walmart foreign workers. Let’s talk

Morning my friend.

Half the employees at the 2 Walmarts I frequent speak foreign languages to each other.....there’s something basically un-American about that IMO.

I worked in a large corporation that brought in many Indians for engineering positions. I understand, but don’t agree that we need foreign engineering, but just why does Walmart need Indians for corporate positions? We can get the same worthless paperpushers here in the US without having to import them.

“Trump-hating ABC News propagandist George Stephanopoulos tried to elicit anti-Trump comments from Walmart CEO John Furner.”

Not 1/100 as unAmerican as “Press 1 for English. Press 2 for Spanish.”

That I can believe.

We had Indian engineers that stayed with the company but moved back to India. Their salary was then adjusted to reflect what they would been payed in India, about 60% of their US salary.

I just do not see any job at Walmart, which cannot be filled by American!
Obviously, Walmart does not have any, now.
If they had, they would pay that $100,000 fee!

Its probably computer people. They run accounting programs on their registers overnight from a central point (Bentonville maybe), The computers act like they are going nuts. that was just my store, so figure out that over thousands of stores, and not just inventory/sales, and there you go.

Allegedly, these corporations simply had to import people because they couldn’t find a qualified American.
