So here’s my idea for solving the H1B visa problem. Let’s start from scratch, and withdraw all of the H1B permits. Then, Congress to hi tech companies: We’ll start approving your requests for H1B visas. Unemployment rate among computer software and hardware engineers over 45 years old is now ___%. You’ll get your H1B permits when the rate equals (is down to) the general unemployment rate in the country.
This is, folks, how the political system can begin serving the interests of American citizens first.
We need H1B visa people for work in genetics, cellular chemistry, nuclear engineering, bio-physics, neurobotics, aircraft design etc. We have enough computer programmers in this country, we don’t need foreign imports for programming jobs.
What would happen is that the guys on the H1B’s would go back to their countries, and the jobs would go with them. It would be even cheaper than employing them here, and you’d lose related jobs as well.
