The high-tech industry, like Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us lobbying group, has pushed for massive increases in guest-worker permits even though companies like Microsoft have been laying of thousands of U.S. tech workers.

House Republican leaders are expected to introduce similar legislation....

Rubio is a traitor against America. These politicians keep bringing in immigrants to take away Americans’ jobs when they are laying off Americans.

Intel got rid of 5000 American workers in 2014 and will probably get rid of another 5k in 2015.
Qualcomm got rid of 700 American workers right before Christmas and has a major problem with its fabs.
AMD is going to die in 5 years.
I am glad I’m close to full retirement.
This is NOT going to go well

Saturate the market with CHEAP labor to keep the labor rate low. Nice, GOP. Really nice way to support Americans.

The Dems have always been clear on this: They will not accept an increase in H1B’s (and related need-based guest-workers) until the Republicans give them their mass Amnesty and that is not in the cards (just yet).
For that reason, even if the Republicans push ahead with this idea, it will be vetoed by Obama (if it even makes it that far).

Currently, the first 20,000 H-1B applications for those with advanced STEM degrees are exempted. STEM = Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope
Seems a bit much to import 20,000 electron microscope experts.....I guess they will all be looking for Obama's brain, Boehner's spine and illegal immigrants.

So much for protecting the American worker. H1B should be eliminated except in very rare instances. There are plenty of American workers for most of these jobs.

Why would any THINKING American support the Immigration Innovation for Imbeciles(“I-Cubed”) plan when most of America is either un or under employed?
Anyone care to place a bet on whether these new "guest workers" are going to be subject to ObamaScare and it's 30 hour mandate?
Well I dunno about the rest of yall but I've shown just how much of an idiotmoronimbecie I can be. No matter WHAT or WHO, The wife and I SIT HOME!

H1-b is to skilled workers what illegal immigrants are to unskilled.
We live in a oligarchy, no one in power gives a crap about anything or anyone but keeping those currently in power with staying in power.
