Why is the American Dream exclusive to immigrants?
Millions of US citizens wish to better their lot in life and achieve the American Dream.
Never brought up — what was/is the fee up til now ?
Too expensive for who?
But my American dream was to not see any Invaders from India
Many on freerepublic suggested this idea as a way for the Trump administration to regulate the use of H1B visas as intended.
It appears the idea has been adopted. Probably the same idea was conceived in many places at about the same time.
The “American Dream” is for AMERICANS! Unfortunately Americans have been unable to achieve it for years because the politicians have been giving it away to NON-AMERICANS!
So now, the American Dream goes back to Americans. Hmm? How is that bad?
The American Dream is for Americans. If you want an Indian Dream....build it for yourselves in India. It is not good for America nor fair to American workers to undercut them with a flood of cheap foreign labor. That is not the free market. That is rigging the market to favor corporations and hurt the American middle class.
On the otherhand if the companies were just trying to save money at the expense of Americans who could do the job, perhaps they ought be too embarrassed to complain.
What makes Satya Nadella or Sundar Pichai special other than their our our new media constantly gushing over them. Hundreds of Americans can do as good or better than them.
I dont care about some indians desire to come over here and rape our healthcare, education services. Do it in india. We have massive unemployment of American born citizens who lost their jobs directly because of these indians. They have also driven up home cost by placing ridiculous bids on houses and taking iver entire communities. Plus they are importing their demonic worship and building temples that scar our landscapes.
In business they are uncreative thinkers who merely copy paste ideas and code.
Lastly, they spoil their kids and thosekids are so entitled and racists. Ive personally heard gangs of them 10-15 year olds screaming racists things as they walk through the neighborhood.
Be nice to see this retroactive or annual.
Indians can fix their own sh*it hole instead turning this country into one.
The American dream is for Americans first. 😣
H1B was always sold as a visa for people with special expertise not available in the US. Instead it turned into cheap low level coders and tech support.
My suggestion was to turn it entirely into an auction system where companies would bid for the slots instead of the curent lottery system. But a fixed rate above the low level pay works too.
We want top researchers in chip design, not someone paid $30k to tell you to reboot your system and try again.
Stop the H1B program. Send all those already here back where they came from. Enough already. Trojan horses. Hire Americans.
The $100,000 fee is way too high.
The base fee should be around $5,000.
Then there should be an annual inverse salary fee:
1. 10% of the salary amount less than $200,000, plus
2. 20% of the salary amount less than $120,000.
If the salary is $80,000, the annual inverse salary fee would be $12,000 plus $8,000.
The minimum salary amount should be 120% of the most recent DoL salary survey average for the degree and (prorated) years of experience.
The H-1Bs should be bid out and awarded based on the salary premium to the minimum.
The number of winning bids should start at 1,000 and go up by 20 if the average premium increases and down by 20 if the average premium decreases, but to no less than 500 nor more than 2,000.
A bid fee of say $2,000 should be charged to help ensure bids are genuine.
There would be no legal requirement to search for an American candidate. The idea that a qualified American can’t be found is almost always bogus.
For each employer: total H-1B salaries < FICA tax paid in a prior tax year going back up to four years
That would limit H-1Bs to about 8% of employees.
American kids need to sure they have a future before signing for student loans.
New IPO companies might merge with a struggling older company to get their FICA tax minimum, allowing most employees of the older company to stay employed.
First - the American Dream is for Americans. India needs to work on their own problems and create an ‘Indian Dream’... we can not be ‘the dream’ of the world.
Second, this system allows American companies to hire ‘the best the world has to offer’ IF they pay the price. This move by Trump stops American companies from bringing in cheap labor. Good for President Trump.
And third - President Trump needs to do the same reform on the American school system that he did on the ‘Department of Defense’ and DUMP ALL THE LEFT WING sexual weido social ‘experiments’ etc. The job of the military is to fight wars not to make liberal wet dreams come true.
The job of the American School system is to educate our kids NOT To teach pronouns, group think, sexual porn, comminism, gay rights, women’s rights or any of the other left wing crap. Any school ‘celebratibng’ any sexual kink should have it’s doors closed and the principal fired...
We can’t be first in the world if our young women graduate from high school as mean ‘with attitude’ bimbos and our young men defeated by the hate from left wing ‘teachers’ about their toxic masculinity... NONE of that crap belongs in our schools if we want to compete.
An H-1B should not ever serve as a chain migration anchor - at most children and a spouse.
