Sen. Mike Lee of Utah said in a press release that the Senate bill’s supporters include Google, Walmart and the Information Technology Industry Council, which represents major Silicon Valley tech companies and also outsourcing firms that receive vast numbers of H-1B visas.


Anybody ask the American citizens what they think of the bill?

H-1Bs have destroyed our graduate schools and depressed wages across multiple industry sectors.

You mean put the working class ahead of the donor class? Where did you come up with such a silly idea?

If Trump signs this it will widely be seen as a grand betrayal.

Let’s try this.... how about 0% for every country?

I know, I know...then we might miss Kumar or Amneer who might have helped us develop the next plasma bomb. But you know what, we already have enough aliens, both legal and illegal.

I don’t know how it is today, but back in my days there were quotas established for each continent to assure legal immigration would be fair worldwide and that people from every corner of the globe would have a fair chance to immigrate to the USA.

There are already more than enough Hindus in the USA.

Do we really want to be swamped by even more of them. They have already destroyed the IT industry as a place that I would encourage my kids to work in, despite the fact that I was employed in and worked for great pioneering companies for my entire professional career.

This is all about Hindu supremacy (ask them) and Hindu colonization of the USA.

Enough!

And F*** YOU Congress critters supporting this.

Hindu is a religion. Plenty of Indian immigrants are Christians.

Quite a few immigrants from India are Muslim

So no wall
More H-1B
Amnesty for DACA
Increased refugee status

other than that things are going well

True, and quite a few are Christians. They're not all Hindus

Why are you against the Wall? It's a good idea put up the wall and remove Amnesty for DACA

This is actually sort of rational.

Regardless your opinion of H1B, the fact that someone who came here from India, has been productive and obeyed the law, and wants a green card, is off on a 7 to 9 year trip through Bureaucrat Hell.

Whereas somebody in Yemen can go and toss their name into a hat at our embassy and win one to come right away.

Makes zero sense. We should award based on merit, not country of origin (and should probably cut off Islamis hellhole countries completely).

I’m paying taxes to a government that is trying to put me out of a job?
