Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) now supports Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-UT) green card giveaway bill, which will allow investors to reward many more Indian graduates for taking middle-class jobs from American college graduates. Perdue’s decision to end his opposition to the bill clears the way for Lee to rush his bill through the Senate on Thursday. If no other senators object, Lee’s bill will move through the Senate, putting it much closer to becoming law.

You just do not like free market capitalism because you are being priced out of the market.
Computer programming can be learned in a few months.
To become a good engineer takes minimum 4 years of college and minimum 5 years of good practical experience. I went through that hard slog, and is the reason I never faced competition from H1-B or anyone else. I am now living the American dream, with memberships to private golf clubs.
I have 2 young kids both graduated from college. One is a lawyer, other is a biology major. Both are doing really well in the job market. I am glad they did not choose to become computer programmers or got into IT field. There are millions and millions of under-employed computer programmers walking the streets in India, China, Eastern Europe, Russia, and Western Europe. Get out of that profession ASAP.
American workers have been had by both big government (Democrats) and big business (Republicans).
Email Senators today!
My Senators are Pat Toomey (who never met a Chamber of Commerce scam he wouldn’t sign onto) and Bob Casey (an ambulatory vegetable with an IQ of 37). It would be a waste of time.
I just emailed both of my REPUBLICAN Senators and told them to vote NO
Called ours. Stupid career RINO Cornyn is all for it.
When you ASSUME you make an ASS of U not ME. I'm making six figures and have been steadily employed for decades - and not as a programmer (although I do write some code as part of my job).
Computer programming can be learned in a few months.
False, actually - to become proficient takes the same years and experience as for engineering or science. (And if it were true, that wouldn't say much for all those who spent years in Third World diploma mills.)
A thriving middle class is a precondition for a stable capitalist country - and salary depression through mass immigration is poison to a thriving middle class. American immigration policy must benefit America, not a narrow-minded "free market"-uber-alles ideology.

COryn? Is he retiring?
This is some piece of bipartison bullsh*t :/ GRRRR
I left message for mine...Could not get thru to person. GOing to email too.
What did they tell you? He hast wo primary opponents.
Unfortunately for me, I reside behind enemy lines ,in The People’s Republic of New York. No one to call here, for the GOP is non existent in NY.
The crap they graduate ain't worth a damn.
I know; I work with them.
Not that I’ve heard.
"Stakeholders" is an abusably elastic concept - I'd say simply that short-sighted CEOs are sawing off the stable-middle-class limb on which they sit (not to mention getting lower quality for lower pay).
My Senators are Pat Toomey (who never met a Chamber of Commerce scam he wouldn’t sign onto) and Bob Casey (an ambulatory vegetable with an IQ of 37). It would be a waste of time.
If they hear from no one, then how will any bills be stopped?
Perhaps you can at least email President Trump...
Problem is H-1B/foreign Visa Creep.
It is not limited to IT careers anymore. Nursing and Accounting are on the block as well.
In the late 80s and 90s, I thought off-shore “job sucking sound” (as Ross Perot used to say) was reserved only for factory/autoworkers...and look where we are today...many jobs are now off shore...
Who knows, maybe law and biology will be next... :(
Just haven’t heard he’s retiring.
Law is already headed that way,
USSC Justices Breyer, Kennedy and Ginsburg and probably other justices have endorsed foreign law over Constitutional jurisprudence.
Foreign lawyers and judges are a natural extension.
