Good points-——deserves a repeat.

Non-citizens here on an H1b should pay into Social
Security as an additional tax, but be unable to collect.
<><>all the H1B types work here for 10 years
<><>that enables them to collect SS at the highest payout
<><>since they pocketed a $150k+ per year salary for those 10 years
<><>they then go back to their country and work
<><>(SS does not know they are working and collecting)

America has research universities and colleges so advanced, yet we CAN’T find skilled labor in the USA b/c the premise of H1B is that companies need to bring in skilled migrants for work that no Americans are able to do?.........the premise itself is ridiculous.

Make it 250 and and levy outsourcing.

Corporations say that they are only importing super-mega-geniuses.

Let them pay $1,000,000 for each super-mega-genius that they import.

Horseshit. The pay was good and many like myself went into STEM. So you lie like always. Being a lying a-hole is no way to go thru life.

[central_va]

Nuke ‘em. Make it 200K!!!

[central_va]

In this case YEAH!!!

The program needs canceled. Apart being being able to do that on his own, why not jack the rates?
