Yeah, what is it with people like Bill Gates still going to congress to ask for MORE H1Bs?

All work visas and immigration should be put on hold during recessions/depressions.

Without addressing these job issues everything Obama (and the republicans as well...) do is pointless happy talk.

The argument that there aren't enough "skilled" people is rubbish, absolute rubbish. Some people I know that are currently looking, were the very best at my company.

No skill shortage there.... but how can they compete with an Indian making 10k a year that doesn't have the living costs that we have here?

FYI, this is getting personal to me as an Indian company is thinking about buying the company I work for. Knowing how Indian firms operate I know darn well that not one native born American will be left if they do buy us.

They will outsource what they can back to India and local field jobs will be filled with visa holders. And I'm not even working for a tech company ... just a normal company with operations HERE in the USA.

India is engaged in economic warfare with the United States and most are too ignorant to realize it.

I'm praying real hard that our corporate execs don't sell us down the river.... but they probably will because that's the kind of people running companies now days.
