Good thing we are bringing hundreds of thousands of low-skilled, poorly educated ‘workers’ into the U.S. since there’s such a shortage of people in need of job...

Buy a Honda. They don’t hire foreign labor.

Harley didn’t do this and more likely an unintended outcome.

They’ll likely remedy.

They’re good guys.

I got to see the museum in York, PA unattended after an appointment. No one goes in there alone and I felt like I was at the Vatican.

Yeah, I was a bit shocked to hear this too. I work in a high-tech company, with many AMERICAN colleagues walking around in HD shirts and many HD bikes in the parking lot. I think they are a bit astounded too.

Not surprised though. I'm in the position to peer into the makeup of many of the IT datacenters and NOC's. More and more there are people with names, accents, and attitudes that pretty much indicate "they're not from around here". It's when I see these name and hear these voices coming from email domain names that you wouldn't expect it that I get concerned. We hear through the grapevine how upper management wants more H1b visa's because they can't find the skills, but when they come an American worker is let go to "make room" (ie. save $$$). The $$$ guys feel anyone with a certification, fancy resume and a visa is a steal. Trouble is, most of it is faked, and even after forcing the American IT worker to train his/her replacement, that person hasn't learned the job and usually ends up calling their friends or company vendors to do their job for them.

Makes me sick, and I'm working to "Go Galt" over it...!

It should be noted that Obama and the democrats are not only pushing amnesty, but also a massive expansion of the H-1B program, which will put even more Americans out of work.

It should also be noted that Republicans are pushing for an expansion of H-1B just as hard.

Who started the H1B program?

The biggest indignation: Parker had to train her replacement before she was fired.

Here in York (PA), there’s a BIG Harley-Davidson Assembly/Shipping plant, and that crap’ll go over badly. I find it hard to believe the unions will let it just happen.

Something doesn’t sound right with the article.

I’m always skeptical when I read stories like this anymore. With the regime constantly undermining everything that is the heart of America, this could be just another one of their misinformation “plants” to turn us away from the institution that is Harley Davidson. I don’t trust these pricks (jugears) for a second!

Train your replacement? I never met anybody dumb enough to do that.

Ok so I get why on Fox news CAvuto, he talks of Corporations wanting to reform H1 visas...its all for low wage nonAmericans replacing American white collar employees.

So it looks like the American worker has no one on our side. The DNC want illegals, the GOP wants big Corp money and Unions want illegals.

Preparing my flame proof suit...

Harley has always been and will always remain unreliable junk.

Said it and meant it.
