And they wonder why there’s deflation.
I’ve had three engineers work for me who were the American Citizen products of the H1-B VISA process. They spent their early careers getting all the stuff needed to get permanent status and wangled citizenship.
By the time they got to me (I did not hire them), they really weren’t what I’d classify as the ‘innovative research’ type I was looking for as an employee. They were good in the rote mechanics of STEM but there completely lacking in innovation, imagination, drive and desire to take an idea and make something real out of it, which in my opinion is what really sets American innovativeness above a lot of the rest of the world. No fire in the belly.
