Bush' visit to India will not even make a dent. Indian immigrants from what I read are solidly Democratic by a 2-1 margin, Chinese immigrants are Democratic by a 60-40 margin, and it is not just because they are non white. Culturally, Indians and Chinese, and in fact, the bulk of 3rd world immigrants view govrenmnet and social responsibility in a different manner, and even the ones who have a high income are more receptive towrds Socialism. The only set of skilled immigrants that I know of who vote GOP on a consistent basis are Russian immigrants.

I didn't know giants wanted to immigrate to America?

Wouldn't they be ideal for the NFL and NBA?

US does graduate enough math and science students! Just ask the unemployed PhDs.

Yeah, sure, we're near full employment economy and PhD's can't find any work. B.S.

You certainly are not good at math if you confuse the overall employment rate with an industry-specific one.

Does this survey:

support your assertion that "US DOESN'T GRADUATE ENOUGH MATH AND SCIENCE STUDENTS"?

That survey shows that those PhD guys are almost all employed, and the ones who aren't are probably searching for that perfect job.

Did you want to set up a government program guaranteeing everyone with a PhD continuous employment at the salary of their choosing?

Frankly, in comparison to my parents, I'm embarassed about how lazy I am.

I'm just telling you what I see with my eyes and what I see is that immigrants work the hardest and each generation gets lazier after that.

Tell me you do not see the same thing.

You did not answer my question.

your post 84 is totally unrelated to the H1b which is mostly high tech indians and east asians. your comment 84 is more relevant to bush's guest worker program and the immigration at the mexican border.

"Now, using the Smith / Ricardo paradigms of Free Trade and Comparative Advantage, in what areas of trade do each of those countries have a Comparative Advantage relative to the others, as of today."

None, capital and technology is mobile today! It is absolute advantage that business's seek!

But typical, even the "Real Conservatives" in this country are turning into Big Govt Socialists.

You finally got something right. And Bush is the king of big government socialism.

JohnnyZ,
Read my post. I said having their pay capped BY 100k plus new workers, not AT $100k.

I'm going to go with yes.

Or possibly, I don't care.

No, I'll stick with yes.

but in the end money isn't everything. I am conservatve, but definitely not one of those "Grow at any cost" Republicans.

I'm glad you made this comment and it is one of the best that is against immigration. I personally want less immigration from mexico. I think this will hurt the economy. I am for more intelligent immigration though and I like this h1b program.

But if you realize that these folks start at $50k on average, it points to a high earnings field regardless of these supposed hordes of fur'ners you're so afraid of. I'm sure lots are making 6 figures in no time.

Let's hold a pity party!

put some real American Joes up there - farmers and Grocery clerks for all I care. Run the Lawyers and professional politicians out on a rail.

We do need to get rid of the lawyers, but Denny Hastert used to be a teacher. Further, a lot of the grocery clerks will have names like chin, habib, or jose.

problem is, you can't live on a 50K salary because of our tax structure and payoff the 60 or 70 thousand dollar loans you accrued in school.

Of course GWB's legacy was indispensible in his election, but if you read the thread, the discussion was about him feeling entitled like the kennedys, and gore, and he did not feel entitled.
