H-1B visas are just more 3rd world immigrant who come into the USA and take away our jobs and vote for democrats/socialism
We don’t need any immigrants at all moving to the USA . Japan doesn’t allow any immigrants so why should we?
For the time being, I’m with you all the way.
Look I do think some immigration enriches us. If a guy with a very impressive (near genius) resume comes along, I’m all for it.
If it’s just more people from India willing to shack up in a hotel for three months, work 70 hour weeks, for 1/3rd what our people would be paid, NO! Not just no, but HELL NO!
Japan is allowing immigrants now, FYI. Partly because of their demographic crash, actually.
Also, sadly, our colleges are churning out people with degrees in STEM fields that don’t actually know some of the basics. A company I do IT work for also is a subcontractor for Bell Helicopters. They had three openings for entry level mechanical engineers. Pay was $75-80K per year in a part of the country where that’s a solid upper middle class income, so it’s not a desire to be cheap; this is also above the national mean for an entry level ME position. Part of the interview was a practical engineering problem that the candidate had to solve, designed by the people who were promoted and had created the vacancies.
Out of the first 1500 or so US applicants who met the minimum qualifications, most were recent graduates. NONE could solve the problem. Zip. Zero. Zilch.
There were 2000 in the second wave. All failed to solve the problem as well. (I was involved in setting up the test machines to make sure they were fairly and correctly configured.) The third wave I don’t have a count on but nobody in that wave passed the test either or were otherwise weeded out.
The company has now been forced to hire in H1Bs (and no, they weren’t cheaper because they *will* be paid the same, it’s company policy to avoid accusations of slave labor and for morale purposes) because they *can’t* find competent US mechanical engineers.
This is not including all the others, student visas, H-1B refugees, millions of illegal aliens and other categories.
I could quickly list 20 ways how this is significantly detrimental to our Veterans, our poor, our elderly, our middle class and our entire country. Given time the list would be large.
