"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. "
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.
It will mean that for the American students this will not be any more a viable career.
Let's make USA the brain capital of the world.
It will not work. As the standard of living will become similar to the other countries USA will stop to be attractive for the newcomers unless very poor and desperate.
