What a shame.

We tell young people to go into the STEM fields, and then the gov’t hands out all those H-1B visas, student visas, etc.

Nothing against immigrants coming to the U.S. legally. But the U.S. gov’t shouldn’t allow so much abuse of the program.

Yes, I encouraged my kids to pursue careers in math and science as they excelled in those areas—they were natural engineers). My dad was an Electrical Engineer and it provided a nice standard of living for our family.

They are doing OK for now. Who knows what the future holds...

Going forward I have no idea what I would encourage my grandchildren to study. Seems so many occupations are disappearing.

Yes, the H-1B Visa program is being abused, and sadly I don’t see the new improved system making any changes that will mitigate the abuses.

I have always enjoyed learning about foreign countries/ways of life from immigrants and visitors, but nowadays more and more, I feel like I am becoming the foreigner...I feel like I am at an airport when I go grocery shopping—so many people from other countries who don’t speak our language.

You got it. Have a kid go into significant debt, only to find employment opportunities being given only to foreign nationals.

Enough.

Did I see Orrin Hatch’s name on of Trump’s H1B tweets? If so, we’re going to get shafted by cheap foreign labor.
