Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79% told a nationwide audience in Wednesdayâs CNBC Republican presidential debate that companies are importing foreign graduates because American college grads just canât do the work.
The claim came when CNBCâs John Hardwood asked Rubio if he was undercutting American professionals by supporting a bill to let companies import more foreign temporary H-1B âguest workersâ for white-collar jobs. Rubio evaded the question by blaming Americansâ supposed lack of skills.
âWe need to get back to training people in this country to do the jobs of the 21st century⦠The best way to close this gap is to modernize higher education so Americans have the skills for those jobs,â Rubio claimed. The âideal scenario is to train Americans to do the work, so we donât have to rely on people from abroad,â Rubio declared.

Well, your analysis refutes all of us who thought the native American workers were being given the shaft in the H1B program. So it really is the “dumb” Americans’ fault? And we can have no hope for dumb Americans making good voting choices.
Pat is not kooky at all.
He is a very intelligent, very wise, very devoted American.
Amrican students prefer to major in things like “Film” and “Fashion Design”.
No wonder our students are so far behind the diligent foreigners.
No, the fault lies in our dysfunctional public school system. When kids get to college, they are well s hooled in PC crap, but can’t add two 3-digit numbers without a calculator. Look at the high school test questions from 70 years ago, compare them to today. Engineering college can’t (and shouldn’t) correct that, so instead everyone does homework together, basically cheat, and graduates are truly not well qualified. Not all, just lots.
Kids educated overseas can usually add numbers in their heads—in my experience. And I’m the kind of manager to give a candidate such a question. “Without a calculator, what’s 73 plus 68?”
They are better educated, hungrier, can think and function as a mature adult. In other words, well educated, mature, and low maintenance. And yes, ask for less. But get the same pay—HR everywhere long ago established salary scales universally used.
It sux but that’s the lay of the land. Thank a lib. Just my experience, and I could be wrong.
Then, please, ask the real question instead of a meaningless, snide grammar attack.
The rest of what you say I can largely agree with, except that one can disagree with Rubio’s position without “hating” him. Do I seem like I hate Rubio?
Ok?
