And why should a U.S. student bust their hump for four or five or six years only to join a profession that's racing towards the bottom in terms of compensation?

There is absolutely no reason for any Ameircan to do this unless they too want to start an offshore outsourcing company.

I think he is a trust baby.

LOL

Must be. He has no real understanding of the way things work in real life. Life is a theory for JasonC.

Nope, no trust funds. Father grew up in Scranton coal country, son of an Irish immigrant who worked for a railroad. Bright enough to get into MIT. Helped the navy make wonders for the last 40 years (civilian scientist in Navy labs). Merit, justice, opporunity - remember?

"Encourage students to major in science and engineering so that they can compete with an unlimited number of foreign imports willing to work for less. Good plan, Mr. President."

That sums it up well. Thanks for posting it on top of the tread.

Once again, he panders to the Congress to get cheap labor for business, while fully qualified Americans are looking for those jobs.

Open borders. Unlimited visas for foreign workers. Bankruptcy prohibiition for Americans. What kind of agenda is this?

Is there no end to his lunacy on the immigration front. If I didn't "know" better, I would say there is a conspiracy to replace our present population with another one.

You're closer to the truth than you realize. Hang in there though, it's going to get a lot worse before it gets any better. Blackbird.

[hedgetrimmer]

He'd rather stay here and pay taxes here send some of that $5 billion in remittance money back to India.

[JasonC]

Of course they go. Congress delegates some decisions to trade reps to give them leverage negotiating with other countries. But how much is entirely up to the Congress, which can change trade laws any way they please anytime they please. Including withdrawing from any treaty they don't like. Every time Congress freely choses a policy some protectionist doesn't like, protectionists pretend they don't have the decision. Wrong, you just didn't win a debate within the Congress.

[JasonC]

Low unemployment rate plus record total employed plus record average hourly wages proves that all the nonsense about supposed net loss of jobs or supposed deterioration in job quality is nonsense, false, made up out of whole cloth, conscious ideological lying.

So you got a lock on a government job that can't be outsourced...thats what you're telling us.

Merit maybe, along with a government policy....
