H-1B is not just for low end code drone work. Not at all.
White genocide is definitely under way. And a lot of people are making money off of the tragedy.
Is this a vanity or did you forget a link somewhere?
My biggy is the cheap unskilled labor. And less skilled labor will lead to more continued outsourcing. But I am okay with a legal immigration pause generally.
And yes, the tech world’s treatment of older workers is shameful. But a lot are also resistent to keeping their skills current.
Are you the vanity police? Can I see your badge?
I used to teach computer networking and programming at a reputable university. The courses I taught were for high-end vendor certification, like MCSE, MCSD, CCNA, etc. Of all the course I taught, I loved the entry level classes best. They’re fun and you can actually see the light bulbs go on over people’s heads and that’s the best feeling a real teacher can have.
Over the years, enrollments have falling sharply until now, which has completely dried up. Zilch this month for enrollments, 2 last month, zero in September. 10 total this spring and summer. I am now just doing part-time training when classes have at least 5 enrollments.
Nobody is seeking these jobs because if they do not have the experience, they don’t get hired, even with a good entry level cert like A+, Network+ etc. What’s the point to study hard and learn when you can’t get hired if you don’t already have a job?
However, I hear from all the many people I know (I run several 500+ user groups) that jobs are being filled.
By H1Bs.
Companies do not want American IT workers in entry level positions.
Not at all. The fight against H1B is very much my fight, too. I collect good articles so I’d like a source.
Rarely is it for the "best and brightest" that its apologists like to natter about.
H-1B isn’t just used to replace Americans although it is used for that. It is for general for wage suppression and demoralization purposes so that Americans want to leave the profession or go into management. It is evil all the way around. Who is going to ask for a raise when third worlders are slowly replacing all of your American friends at work.
Amen to that.
Oh you'll hear "They'll just completely move off shore" Well so what? It isn't like they hire anyone born in the USA anyway. SO GTHO.

The entire H1-B program needs to go.
Add another 200-300 job loses to cheap foreign labor.
