H-1B ping. Let me know if you're not on the list and want to be added (or are and want to be removed).

Let’s see the starting salaries and benefits packages for the H-1Bs vs new US-national hires.
They’re not hiring the H-1Bs because they are paid more.

And Senator Cruz wants to increase H1B by 500%. No. This is one of the reasons I stopped supporting him.

Uhuh.
Nothing like having their feet dangling over the starving teeth of the caste system for motivation.

(Ted Cruz for President ... all others are cheap imitations)
This is very different than the carefully constructed, and misleading, narrative constructed by the tech industry that the H-1b program is primarily a vehicle for keeping people from abroad that the U.S. trained, and paid for, Hira told TheDCNF.Sadly, not just by the tech industry:
'Cruz said, we should improve and streamline legal immigration. He also discussed H-1B visas arguing that in the status quo, every year US colleges and universities educate tens of thousands of foreign students who are getting masters and PhDs in engineering and math and computer science, and were sending them back to their countries. And as a result, theyre going back to their countries, theyre starting businesses there. Theyre creating jobs there, and their companies are competing with us and taking jobs away from us. I dont think that makes any sense. So, Ive introduced legislation to increase the number of H-1B visas' - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3309118/posts

Qualcomm is in trouble right now on multiple fronts and none of its problems can be fixed with H1b or outsourcing.
They have process problems, thermal problems and customer problems.
Intel and MS are the biggest H1b/outsourcing offenders.
Intel is blaming hard working people for executive level mistakes.
MS simply wants cheap workers who do what they are told no matter what crap they are told to code.

The politicians pushing to bring in all these foreigners should be put on trial for treason.
The same for Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates.

Who do these companies think is going to be buying their products. If they fire Americans we won’t have any money.
In 20 years America will be the third world country with low wage workers.

How about restricting foreign students from our universities?

Perfection we will never get in a mortal. Even Reagan’s halo helped hide some missteps.
It is exactly this single issue mindedness that is a chief blocker of blessings from God, which is the ultimate source of blessings. Mortals tend to play zero sum games; God doesn’t. Suppose the pie itself could be grown... remember, ye olde supply side, before the liberals really mucked it up?

What, gutting America's middle class doesn't sound like a conservative policy to you?

The things that matter in eternity can’t be measured in dollars and cents. Those are the things that God clamors most loudly to get right. Do that, then other blessings likely appear, not as earnings or as a fixed piece of a fixed pie, but as evidence of grace.

Which goes to show, hankering for another Reagan is misplaced. We need to do the best under God (remember that?) with the cards we now can play, not the cards we wish we had now to play.
