No H1B visas either: good way to peel off some of the Chamber of Treason types from a general amnesty push.
That’s pretty much the way I see it too.
I do want to say that I agree with H1-B Visas in principle, because there are times when we need to bring knowledgeable people in. It would be people well versed in any specialty that we didn’t have experts in. Wernher Von Braun would be a good example, leaving any side issues aside for the moment.
IMO, today we bring people in based on willingness to work for less rather than actual need for special expertise.
We have people let go in the same fields at times. Nobody can tell me they couldn’t be retrained and brought up to speed in a short period of time. We should be seeking to get people off welfare and unemployment rather than bringing in foreign nationals to will lock our citizens out of their field.
