Well, if it were not for Indians, we could not get any programmers under age 35 at all. There are simply no Americans available with the skills needed in the NY metro area. Or if there are, they are not sending in their resume when we offer jobs paying $60-90K.

Immigration whould be based on whether or not they have something of value to add to our society imo.

You both have interesting and contrasting posts. I'm wondering:

  1. Why can't programmers get jobs over age 35?
  2. I work with engineers over age 40. The area I work in isn't exactly booming economically. So what type of areas (both geograpically and by speciality) do engineers get displaced over age 40?

The above questions are out of interest, not argument. Basically, I am in favor of legal immigration as long as it is selective and targeted to those willing to contribute to our nation and accept our values. However, I am concerned that too much is driven by a demand for cheaper labour. Americans willing and able to do the jobs available at a market wage should have priority, even if they are past a certain unrealistic age.
