“advocates say he hasn’t done enough.”

Are you saying he HAS done enough?

Been going on for decades and our Government is not stopping this anytime soon

I thought the swamp was going to be drained.

Happening in the IT area of a big box retailer that likes the color blue as I type.

these are people who focus on a single, solitary issue 24/7/365.

The threat of having one's livelihood stolen can do that to a person.

"includes a slide on how to interact with Indian workers"

Well, isn't that special.

Boeing just got burned also. I notice the phrase, “...or cheaper domestic talent”. That changes everything, yes?

No, but I am saying that given the incessant BS he has to put with he is doing the best he can.

If "domestic" means "already here on a work visa", no.

I am glad for ATT that they found a cheaper way to provide their services to Americans. America will benefit.

H-1B is a disaster and all its advocates anti-American.

But one could say little more in defense of a tech worker that trains their foreign replacement.

Just say no and go about finding something else.

“advocates say he hasn’t done enough.”

Are you saying he HAS done enough?

No

Then the advocates are correct.

America will benefit.

America benefits from - nay, requires - a thriving middle class. Giving American jobs to foreign serfs goes in the opposite direction. That's why our President has proclaimed "Hire American".

President Trump does not have the power to stop companies from having employees train their own replacements. That is what the “advocates: were b!tching about. Trump has done what he can, now the shareholders have to do the rest.

Just say no

Not so easy when you don't know when the next paycheck will be coming.

BS. For one thing, he could have used the bully pulpit to much greater effect - more tweets about American jobs instead of Mika's facelift.

“it very possibly is worth it.”

Bullshit.

They are already screwed.

So they decide to take down their fellow workers and the nation with them?

I have zero, ZERO sympathy for anyone who trains their foreign replacement for anything.

And some degree of animus.

I’ve been in tech for 40 years and I’ve seen hundreds such weaklings.

That’s why you always have to keep enough savings so you can tell these jackals to “f off.” It’s going beyond tech into all sorts of fields now. The native born middle class is being systematically eliminated. When enough intelligent and motivated people are outsourced, there will be reckoning. Traitors will be recognized for what they are.

That’s been going on for about ten years. The Abbott Company in Irving or Dallas did it to my niece.
