Yet another way in which Trump is going to bring benefit to the regular American worker.

Revolver is a top notch conservative publication, highly recommended

What about L-1s? Far more damaging?

I don’t know why, outside short-term profits, why the execs want cheap code up front and then spend another 80% of the initial cost repairing that code.

Steven Miller is gaining influence and it’s a great thing.

I have been in the tech industry for literal decades.

Number of Indian developers who had any real value out of thousands I've worked with?

I can count them on two hands (it was one hand until about two years ago - so up to six now).

H1-B needs to go. These incompetent people get into management positions and only hire other Indians.

Correct, it’s like the mafia. Once they get in, they only hire other Indians.

Because the exec’s are Harvard-indoctrinated MBAs who never heard the phrase,”you never have the time and resources to do it right the first time, but you always have the time and resources to do it right the second time”? Or maybe they’re like Bloomberg in the ego and mentation department who thought farming was as simple as putting some seeds in the ground?

My leftist brother has watched his IT-specialist son lose two corporate jobs to consultants offering the employer temporary H-1B labor and offshoring.

He’ll never be MAGA, but he’s waking up.

What about the H-1B invaders that are already here? In many cases they already have their spouses here and have dropped an anchor baby or 2.

I’ve worked with the Indians for almost twenty years now. They are mediocre at best and have no sense of urgency and no business sense. The house could be burning down but if it’s their lunch time they’ll just cut out.

The difference is cultural. They are driven by the title on their business cards, and not by a love for the technology. I think maybe the US has almost all the nerds (myself among them).

I’ve been telling people its not just tech for years and years. I work for banks and I’d say a good 1/4 to 1/3rd of those big banking towers you see are H1B Indians. The banks cheat like crazy and try to throw something technical sounding into every job they can so they can get more of that sweet sweet cheap Indian H1b labor. Its sickening.
