I’m with you there and I too make a nice living managing a database team. However after 15 years there has been a decline in wages through the importation of cheap labor driven by greed. What Cruz proposes exacerbates this problem even more ensuring more big corporations will continue not hiring skilled Americans and again driving wages further south. This proposal is piss in a bucket of a much larger issue.
I’ve seen some of the foreign help. They can’t speak English to communicate technical information, they simply aren’t as well trained, and they end up being dead weight.
Why Gates and others wants these so-called technicians really puzzles me.
Here is how I shut them up. Ask them what is their career field and then ask them if they want a legal system to import foreigners to compete with them and lower their standard of living.
