Nothing will make students go into STEM like RISING WAGES.

Really how about DECREASING the quota 10,000/yr for 8 years. Until it is gone? A slow wean off the crack cheap labor fix.

The “displacement” of US workers began in the 90’s so the poster is correct.

“Programmers/Coders aren’t some problem solver within an organization, they are typing in a bunch of commands toward a project objective”

As a 20+ year software engineer I can assure you that it involves a hell of a lot more than just ‘typing in a bunch of commands”

Bravo. Just wondering, does he ever get tired?

I saw one idiot post that instead of being strong and draining the swamp, Trump is being overcome by the swamp - obvious case of lack of comprehension....

You’re a dolt. H-1B visas are for higher skilled technology jobs requiring a college degree mostly in the STEM field. To get a STEM type of bachelors you HAVE TO HAVE A WORK ETHIC. You can’t slouch your way to an Engineering or Comp Sci degree.

Wait a minute.

You and I have known each other here on FR a long time.

How do you get I, the great Vendome, am a globalist or promoter of such from my post?

I say hire American in my post and wonder why we don’t. The job pays well and they cant say it doesn’t.

If we are going to hire internationals I think we’ve hired enough Chinese, Indian and Pakistanis.

If we are going to continue hiring internationals then lets make it in “Our Best Interest” at least and improve wages and living conditions in our hemisphere.

China and India have had a good enough row in our waters for years.

Why as an American do I care about improving wages on our hemisphere? Sound globalist to me. I don’t give sh!t about anyone’s wages but Americans.

Yeah, but let's face it, there are software engineers and there are "coders". To me, the latter couldn't recognize a conflicting requirement if it set their computer on fire, or know the ramifications of some of the things they do, 'cause after all, resources are infinite, aren't they?

Cold turkey is the only solution. Kill it with fire & shut it down.

If you leave any potential loopholes for the employers, their immigration attorneys will find a way to exploit the loopholes.

If the job needs to be done by Indian nationals, do it in India.

Article only says that he is going to “study the problem” for the next 220 days.

That takes it to the end of the year. I smell elite delay tactics at work.

I have watched this program be wholesale abused my entire life... To claim we don’t have americans who know how to program and do IT work is ludicrous...

H1B is to skilled workers what Illegal Immigrants are to unskilled.. nothing more.. a cheap virtual slave labor force used to depress wages and export wealth.

It is an insult when we are told that an American is unable to do a job because we are not smart enough but someone from India which lacks basic sanitation in most of the country is!

Only disk space for legacy data sets and old versions of programs...
