Compared to our suicidal lunacy all of them have an immigration “ban”.
I may raise some costs by employing Americans. If we don’t get these folks back to work, the welfare costs to the taxpayers for these displaced workers will exceed the costs incurred by hiring them.
It's very unlikely with a population of 330 million people that your skills are unique. If your skills are unique (and presumably useful), why couldn't you stay in your native country and command a very high salary? Why couldn't an American be trained so that your skills are no longer unique? Or are you just blowing smoke?
If his skills were that unique, why didn’t his employer go through the pain of obtaining an O-1 visa?
I sure wish I had unique (and useful) skills. I could command a very high salary. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the high tech industry, it’s that everyone is replaceable. Everyone is unique in his own way, but someone else is out there who can take his place.
And that will end the H-1B abuses how?
Money quote.
If I could play Tinkerbell for a moment & could tap you on the forehead to give you one of the “hot” in-demand Software Engineering skillz, you’d be lucky to be working.
If you’re older, you’ll be actively discriminated against due to your age.
If the company is H1-B infested... well, they only hire their own kind.
If you look at dice.com right now, there are 82,168 tech jobs available. In reality, the overall number of tech jobs Dice really has may be 10 percent of that number.
Yep. Been there, done that. I left two different positions where the companies were being overrun by Indian H1Bs. In both places, the new Indian managers started hiring only Indian engineers, and used H1Bs like a club to demote and replace the native-born engineers. Fortunately, I found a position in defense, where only US citizens could be hired. Unfortunately, the prevalence of H1Bs in the US has depressed salaries for the entire industry. I’m only a few years from retirement, but definitely couldn’t recommend going into engineering for anyone just starting out.
Amazing that this CEO’s nose isn’t growing on camera during the interview:

You’re quite naive aren’t you?
And quit trolling, chum.
Quit trying to play the damsel in distress, pink is not your color.
High earners don’t typically get most of their employment income from salary. Did you not know this? Don’t want to distract from whatever point you were making but your choice of words left me with no choice.
Gee, way to change the subject there, genius. The reason I’m using the word “salary” is that the lucrative contracts that I had before are no longer available to me, so I had to take a salaried position. But you don’t care about American engineers, do you? The other reason I used the word “salary” is so that more readers would understand what I’m talking about. Not everyone is a H1B snowflake like you.
By the way, snowflake, if you’re going to say that the highest earners are business owners, well, I got priced out of that, too. But I’m sure you care only about foreign engineers, so don’t worry about it.
No I was talking about employment income. Bonuses more important that salary.
