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).

[I want the USA back]

Why have all huge corporations decided to $h!t on Americans?

[Arm_Bears]

iCarly started this wave at HP—Wonder if she’ll be asked about it tonight.

Why have all huge corporations decided to $h!t on Americans?

And why do Free Traitors want to help them do it?

[sauropod]

This should be illegal.

[The Toll]

Rats. Ship. Sink.

[txrefugee]

Another excellent question to ask Fiorina in tonight’s debate: Did you fire American workers at HP while hiring foreign workers using H1B visas? The truthful answer is “yes”, and the follow up question should be “Why?”

[central_va]

See we are going to off shore all of our manufacturing jobs to the third world. Nobody wants those jobs anyway. Americas are going to retrain to be software engineers, nurses and professionals.

But wait those jobs are being given to the imported FOREIGNERS under H-1B.

When does the revolution begin?

CNN is part of the liberal establishment - which is even worse than the conservative establishment. No way in hell she'll be asked this question.

Pretty simple. Gotta use lower-cost international labor to compete in a global market. The two options are offshoring and H1-Bs. Most sizable companies use both, which means you can’t even compete against other American companies without doing the same.

[BenLurkin]

Carly’s fault!

[central_va]

What you are saying it is over, ball game. Might as well vote foe Sanders right?

[Paul R.]

it appears that some companies that are abusing that program and asking American workers to train H1-B visa replacements so they can lower wages.”

"Appears", my behind. I know multiple people in IT who've had to train lower paid imported replacements for essentially their entire departments, including themselves.

[central_va]

H-1B proves the middle class is at war with Fascism, the MSM and the gloBULList Free Traitors™. Wake up America!

[ConservingFreedom]

Gotta use lower-cost international labor to compete in a global market.

You don't "gotta" if that lower-cost international labor is also lower-skill ... which it clearly is, since laid-off Americans are training their Third World replacements (as a condition of getting their severance).

[Arm_Bears]

Maybe Trump will bring it up.

[null and void]

I want the USA back ~ Why have all huge corporations decided to $h!t on Americans?

ConservingFreedom ~ And why do Free Traitors want to help them do it?

Beats me, let's ask one...

[9YearLurker]

No—I’m saying that’s the current situation re: the market. Publicly held companies are judged by equity analysts on how much they have been able to leverage offshore labor, especially, since it is such a factor in being competitive on costs and pricing.

[9YearLurker]

H1-Bs often come as part of a larger package, with their India-based employers (rather than direct US employers) providing outsourcing and development services that also leverage offshore talent.

H1-Bs are more obvious a target for the US labor market, but less significant than offshoring, which really can’t be stopped without killing the golden goose of the global IT market—of which the US has a largely disproportionate share.
