President Barack Obama’s Department of Homeland Security wants to give white-collar work-permits to a huge new group of foreign college-graduates, despite the large number of American graduates now stuck in lower-wage jobs, and struggling to pay off college debts.
The proposed new regulation, due to be published Dec. 31, will dramatically up the annual inflow of foreign college-grads allowed to take jobs in the United States — and will also make each foreign graduate much more valuable to U.S. employers than many U.S.-born college grads.
“Obama has gone the Full Monty to bust the immigration system,†says immigration lawyer John Miano. “What is going on is he is effectively giving Green Cards to people on H-1B visas who are unable to get Green Cards due to the [annual] quotas… it could be over 100,000.â€
The new rules to aid foreign college-graduates are an extension of his earlier efforts to bypass popular laws against illegal immigration, said Miano, the co-author of a new book about the painful impact of the white-collar guest-worker programs, titled “Sold Out.â€

My firstborn is a sophomore. STEM major. Great student. Given a choice, he’d rather write a story than a computer program. But I always told him STEM was his best chance at getting a good job.
I may have been wrong. :-(
So now, my second-born will start college in the fall. I was pushing him into STEM, too, but now I’m backing off. Maybe these days a communications major will have a better chance at employment - right? - assuming an American has a better grasp on the English language, that is.
I still say you guys should at least pick a second major in STEM. Or at least a STEM minor, if there’s such a thing. Drone technology is the up-and-coming thing now. You just never know - times may change.
You obviously didn’t read my subsequent post, which put truth to Cruz’s words:

Material science has enormous potential I think as a getting on the ground floor type of thing. I worked before going to college, so this is a second career for me, so I’ve got my age working against me no matter what my GPA and standing are, it’s just a fact (no good arguing).
To my thinking, no matter what your major is (or your age), you should have something to fall back on which isn’t reliant on a lab full of expensive equipment.
I don’t think you can go wrong with Communications. That’s one of the few things my school is plowing money into right now.
Wishing you and your the best, and happy New year to you :)
HIS EXECUTIVE ACTION COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED, HOWEVER, HAD THE BIPARTISAN 2016 OMNIBUS FUNDING INCLUDED LANGUAGE PROPOSED BY IMMIGRATION SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIRMAN SEN. JEFF SESSIONS....
So instead we get this....
...focuses primarily on giving work-permits to foreign college-grads who will compete against Americans for white collar jobs, despite the large number of American graduates now stuck in lower-wage positions and struggling to pay off college debts. The rule will also make each foreign graduate much cheaper for U.S. employers to hire than many U.S.-born college grads.

Thank you, and happy New Year to you, too.
I assumed you were the same age as my sons. I have no idea what your age is, but many people return to college later. After high school, I went to a two-year college, earned an A.S., and then just worked. At 26, I went to a university - I thought I was so old back then. I soon came across many other students in their late 20’s, not to mention middle-aged students including one mom with grown children and one guy who was old enough to be a grandpa. I stopped one semester short to raise a family, and now at 51 (cough, cough) I’m looking into finishing my degree. (It’ll probably be a degree in English, too, though I’d go for an IT major if I were younger.)
So, yeah, I hear ya’ on the age factor. lol Good luck to you, whatever your age. I hope we both find good-paying work!
Oh please.
What age groups are you talking about? If younger there are plenty of options depending on degree. I have a relative with a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering. Had a job waiting for him three months before graduation. EE and ME majors have pretty good opportunities especially when working for defense contractors as most (depending on what is being worked on) do not allow foreign nationals to be hired.
What about skilled trades? Welders, machinists, and the like? In these parts a good welder can make $20 /hour STARTING salary out of VoTech schools.
If older, there are absolutely companies who are trying to cut costs and do so by hiring foreign workers. I wonder if Avaya is not one of these. Now when we log a support call, return calls always come from an area code in Denver, but which I believe is coming from India based on timestamps from emails I have received just before they call. I understand that some people cannot speak English without an accent, but wow - you can't have those people calling to work on hardware problems. I have on one occasion asked to speak with someone else and told the engineer who I was talking with that I could not understand them well and needed to talk with someone else. I have heard similar complaints from other Avaya customers.
I got together with my friend last evening who has hired foreign college students to work, along with US college students and he said it's a mixed bag with the US students. Some are good (the older students) and these students have gone on to have good jobs and make very good money. But he's had a problem younger students - problems with coming in late (or not at all), problems with work product (quality, quantity), attitude problems (as in "I'm owed this job"). He does not have those issues with the foreign students.
Existing H-1Bs to get Green Cards. Permanent Residents now.
He really IS trying to break the nation.
We’re being replaced.....
Nothing but window dressing, I am sure a wink and a nod was given to the K Street boys.
