My experience is that the majority of “foreign high-tech workers” suck.
These are the people we want. Present policy gets it backwards, keeping out talented people with money while letting unskilled poor people flood the country.
Heaven forbid tech employers should have to pay employees what they are worth!
Betrayal??
Whoever thinks this is betrayal has his or her head in the sand with shovel-ready assistants on standby
It’s Mitch Mc Connell, guys
And those who feel betrayed had better get their a together and get behind Cruz for the presidency and soon
Otherwise mchillarybidenobamaboehner will heap so much more of this crap on us our friends and our offspring will be buried, if we’re not, ourselves
HATCH, RUBIO, FLAKE CO-SPONSOR BILL TO INCREASE H-1B GUEST-WORKER VISAS
Don’t worry - once everyone has a community college degree, we’ll have plenty of high-tech workers.
Just hand over all of our high-tech secrets to foreign countries and get it over with. What a crock. Selling out America just keeps moving forward.
The donor base (including the Chamber of Cronies) is demanding this, they’re getting impatient.
InfoSys should be asked why they’re hiring so many people from India and Pakistan.
Betrayal? Your first mistake is assuming these congress people give a darn about Americans. I’m under no such illusions.
Many tech companies strongly prefer Chinese engineers and Indian programmers, plus some other foreigners. They say that the biggest reason is that so many Americans just don’t work very hard ( the “ entitlement attitude”), especially the younger ones ( and there’s vast age discrimination against emoting older engineers anyway, thereby doubling the adverse impact on Americans seeking jobs. Some of our most prominent engineering firms have been known to not even interview graduates at the top of their classes at our leading engineering schools. Check out who they do hire and you’ll see why.
No surprise. The bribes from the Chamber of Commerce didn’t come cheap. Who in their right mind will vote for the political whores in 2016?
“Republican and Democratic senators ... would increase the number of high-tech visas to 115,000 a year from 65,000 ... could go as high as 195,000 in any one year”
I have a lot better idea—replacing these jackass senators with people chosen randomly from a telephone book.
As usual my great senator, Jeff Sessions, rose to the defense of the American people. Would that there were many more like him. His committee chairmanship punishment has not shut him up.
Its part of the destruction plan for America.
Hey American students — be sure to go into debt getting that STEM degree so your government can screw you from both ends at the same time by allowing foreign indentured servants to take the job you were counting on to pay back the loans ... and be sure to thank these RINO liars personally every chance you get.
His attorney said that he absolutely needed to have a significant raise to show the critical need for his skills or he wouldn't have a strong case to make to immigration.
At that point he started immediately looking for other employers. He really didn't perform after that.
This high tech worker thing is a scam all the way around from the attorneys that benefit to the foreign workers looking for a way to get into and stay within the US.
H1B / Free Trade / Chamber of Commerce bump for later...
My corporation has imported half the country of India. These execs would sell their mama for a quick buck. Traitors!
I am a technical trainer, MCT, and I teach high-level technical courses: System Center, Exchange, SharePoint, Apache, and lately Azure and Office 365.
This STINKS!
I continue to see students with GREAT skills, who are eminently trainable to new technologies, get the shaft and NEVER get hired. Resumes go out, application web site filled in and sent—never get a single call. Yet Orin Hatch says there are no Americans to do the job? LIAR.
I think I could personally come up with thousands of eligible AMERICAN engineers to do these jobs without EVER having to go outside the country looking for talent. Multiply this by every state and municipality and you’d have hundreds of thousands of trainable talented people.
The catch?
They’re older, have families, expect benefits a normal father and husband would get... AND they’re NOT recent graduates, but rather men who are at the prime of their talents and just need a little knowledge of the new stuff, which would only take a few weeks at most.
