A crackdown on the controversial H-1B visa intended for skilled workers has struck Indian citizens harder than other foreign nationals, with federal officials hitting them with more visa denials and demands for proof of their eligibility to work.

If you were telling the truth, you’d post specifics. You are a vulture feasting off the wreckage of US citizens’lives.
Or a dot trolling.

The biggest challenge, to this day, is the language barrier.

And in the case I mentioned, productivity was fairly equal.

“Careful, the liberals around here who believe in a basic income and giving jobs away regardless of ability or performance won’t like that. “

You’re the liberal who thinks Americans are automatically unqualified.

Don’t try to deflect your Anti-American views as a view that we support unqualified hiring.

You liberals love to twist things like that, but we’re not as stupid and gullible as you are.

There are tons of Americans that can do any job anywhere at any time.

The labor statistics and their performance seem to disagree with you.

I don't support basic incomes and the handouts that you are so strongly supporting and advocating. I believe you should hire and fire based on performance and company need.

You needing to call people names says all we need to know about you.

Also a STEM professor and most students in my program are American, many who have been displaced by H1Bs and are upgrading their skills and degrees, both undergraduate and graduate. The majority of the Indian students I’ve dealt with are no more competent than domestic students and are mostly less competent overall. The statement is B.S.

“The Americans might have actually been worth the $75 per hour, but the Indians generally weren’t worth $17.50 per hour.”

I’ve had the pleasure of asking software companies if they off-shored or on-shored. When they say they do, and you know we already knew the answer, I’ve cut my offer to 1/4 the asking price by claiming if they can pay 1/4 to make the product then I only need to pay 1/4 to buy the product.

Of course, I never had any intention of buying the product.

You’re the liberal who thinks Americans are automatically unqualified.

Given that the majority of our employees are American, your statement isn't supported.

Don't try to deflect that you believe someone's nationality automatically makes them qualified for a job. You liberals love to preach non-exceptionalism and that everyone is equal in ability.

I hope you don't choose your doctors on that same premise.

Texas ain’t “the heartland” and your story is full of holes.

I don’t buy a word of it. I find it far more likely that you are with an H1-B processing firm than a real employer of IT staff.

The whole idea of the H-1B is that the company who wants to use this visa program CANNOT find any Americans/locals to do the job or have the minimum qualifications to do the job.

Whether foreign national Indians are better workers or work harder, etc., is not the criteria for H-1B. It is that Americans can NOT be found to do the work.

ANYTHING else is a lie. It is perjury on a government form.

It is correctly a high-standard to meet. Over the years, it has become a joke.

Nope, full-time applied IT. We're not only located in Texas.

“Employers have a difficult time finding good employees.”

No, they do not. They have HR bimbos like your SIL that can’t read a resume and only do word searches.

Indians copy and paste the exact job req into their resumes and bimbos like your SIL go, “Golly! This person is exactly what we’re looking for!”

There is nothing there I can argue with.

Remember Disney and what they did to the animators? They fired them and even had them stick around to train their H1-B replacements.

I have a degree in computer science from Texas A&M. I’ve been a stay at home mom for 20 years. I don’t think I could get hired even if I took a Java class and updated my computer skills. I have 10 years experice with real time software development in C too.

The wages for in-demand skills go up when the supply is limited. This is a good thing. More people will get those skills. The thing is this: are you an American or a globalist? So you want to give our best jobs to foreigners or give Americans and our labor market a chance. With you the answer is clear: you are globalist and really do not believe in America. You will sell out your countrymen for a quick buck. You disgust me in every way and my sworn enemy. All globalists should be rounded up and ......

“you believe should always hire someone based on their nationality even if they can’t perform their job”

Liar. No one said that.

However, yes, you should hire Americans and not foreigners.

If your business model needs foreigners then go to that country and set up business.

You think Americans cannot do the job, and that’s nothing but liberal anti-Americanism.

“We’re also pro-American and non-union.”

Typical delusional liberal: We do everything against America and Americans but we’ll claim we love America so we feel better about ourselves.
