Sorry, but if you can’t find US citizens, wages need to go up.
The H1-B is nothing more than a cancer.
I’m totally hooked on those videos.
This has been a problem throughout the engineering business for decades now, but it has been getting worse over the last, say, fifteen years. Early in my career you could ignore it, but in the last decade before I retired it became in-your-face.
Exactly. That is exactly my point.
H-1B visas are just one of the ways foreign tech workers get in.
There’s also the J-1 visa for academic researchers (and their spouses). There is no cap on J-1. So all a company has to do is contract out some development work to a university.

Visa Overstays are as large or larger than the illegals crossing
the southern border or so it’s claimed
For years, Republicans who would campaign on illegal immigration, would “inoculate” themselves by calling for expanding legal immigration, and often calling for radically expanding H1B. Even recently I remembering seeing someone calling for exactly that.
When I was younger, I didn’t think about it. But once you understand the game, such politics becomes infuriating.
Sure, you need people who can read and write English, have the power of logic, and have a work ethic. You aren’t getting that from many of our high school and college graduates any more. So we have to import people with those abilities. Pathetic, but true.
I toyed with one idiot who had called me with that virus line.
First ask them what version of Windoze I am running ...
Then ask them what the IP address is on my computer ...
Then ask them what virus they found ...
Then ask them if that virus is dangerous to the Linux system that is really running on my computer ...
They hang up somewhere around question 4.
As I understand it, they admit 85 thousand programmers and engineers a year under H1B. But the visa is good for 6 years, so that’s actually half a million people competing with you in your job. And the likelihood is they are able to obtain residency during that time (green card) and stay, so its a constant 85 thousand people a year coming in to fill jobs you would be competing for...
If they were bringing in 85 thousand journalists or lawyers every year, this program would end tomorrow.
You see the same thing with medical people. They make it as difficult as possible to train Americans, and then recruit foreign nurses and doctors.
At the big box hardware store where I work, 75% of the customers are either South American or from India. Repairing their houses. Mostly the bathroom plumbing it seems. Guess if you’ve got 15 dhimmis using the john every day in your house, something’s gotta give.
It’s treason.
Its “open borders” by another name.
So for someone to embrace the joys of capitalism they have to embrace a borderless world where labor is trafficked and Americans are subjected to global labor arbitrage? If so you can stuff your globalist capitalism. Also say hello to President Cortez because this is how you get a President Cortez.
” Maybe $10 - $12 /hour.”
it must be more than that. They all have a brand new Honda.
Legal immigration should be reduced. The third worlders they are bringing in through legal immigration. Are mostly left wing voters.
These borderless globalist corporatists will be the firs to hide behind real patriots if we ever get into hot war with the Chinese and/or Russians. Cowards, sellouts and traitors. I don’t know how else to define them. To the wood chipper with them.
