By increasing the annual cap of 65,000 to 115,000, automatically increasing the new cap by 20 percent each year the cap is hit, and creating a new exemption to new cap for anyone who has an “advanced degree in science, technology, engineering, or math” from any foreign university, the number of H-1B workers coming into the United States would undoubtedly escalate.

This will destroy the sciences in this country and wipe out every high tech, high wage field we've got.

Management, doctors (soon to be replaced by foreigners), and lawyers will be the only fields protected.

This is bullsh!t!! WTF did I serve and defend my country for so I could watch a bunch of political b@#ches sell the middle class out !?!?!?!

huh, the immigrants are already here and in all of those fields... they wont wipe out high tech, but increase the pool of people in it.

Most of my high-tech colleagues and PhD graduates are immigrants, and have been for years. Many high-tech successes (companies) have been started by immigrants.
As long as it is not too high, H1-B-type visas can be a good thing.

I also think it's not a bad idea to simply let any PhD who wants to work here do so. Let's make USA the brain capital of the world.

The'll just be doing the advanced and high tech jobs that Americans don't want to do.

Why would anyone spend $40,000 to get a computer science or electrical engineering degree in the U.S. when the job market will be flooded with as many foreigners as want to come? You'll never earn enough to repay your student loans. That is a key reason I decided against going to medical school. I saw the writing on the wall with medical malpractice suits and high insurance rates. A doctor has more than double the costs to get the education, then faces extraordinary costs of doing business because of unscrupulous lawyers, insurance companies and government mandated free services to people who can't pay.

My son did the right thing by ditching his interest in aerospace and going for a business degree. He has 15 days of class left before completing his business degree. His real estate business is going great.
