I have received personal Freepmail from IT Freepers, one in particular I remember who told me they gave up after 7 years of trying during Obama’s reign...
If you read the Breitbart article the US graduates far more STEM students than are being placed...They cannot all be unqualified...If you do a Breitbart search, you can see all the articles related to displaced US workers...

Unlike Georgia, the US does not have to allow this...Our government is choosing to allow it...And I understand Trump wants a good working relationship with Modi, but I don’t believe that US IT workers should have to pay the price....
Not only IT Rand Paul objected until Lee agreed to his demands for Visas for 5k nursing jobs per year over the next 10 years!!
