Complete utter garbage!
I work in an industry where we had to stop doing telephone interviews because we found out the H1Ber’s from India where paying other people (who actually knew engineering) to do the telephone interview for them. Then we paid to bring them over and guess what? They guy we hired wasn’t even the same guy as the one we interviewed.
H1Ber’s have ZERO ethics and will LIE, CHEAT and STEAL to get these jobs.
As an American I’m tired of:
1. Having my salary frozen because an H1Ber will claim to be capable of doing my same job at half the salary.
2. Seeing companies claim they can’t find an American when their job postings are put on exclusively H1B job search sites. They won’t even interview an American.
3. Spending my day doing my job, then spending my evenings correcting the mistakes the completely clueless H1Bers make.
4. I’m sick of it!!! I was once put in charge of 3 H1Bers because a project that should have taken 6 weeks was dragging on into it’s 18th MONTH. These guys couldn’t even speak English clearly. I had to spell out what they needed to do A-Z, and if I was vague during any step they would just skip that step.
5. Then when there are layoff’s the Americans are the first to get let go.
END THE H1B PROGRAM TODAY!!!!
Good idea. End the H1B program.
But you but you better find some Americans qualified to do those jobs before you do. And good luck.
Bravo!!!
And one other thing.
Of 5 Chinese, 12 Indian’s and 2 Malaysians that work at my company only 1 (a 55 year old Chinese guy has gone all the way and gotten his citizenship). When I ask the others they all claim that they wish to retire back in their home country’s or plan to go back if the company fires them.
So out of 19 people that I deal with on a daily basis only 1 has pursued citizenship. I know for a fact that many of the others are sending more than half their paycheck back to their home countries.
SO even if your not an employee in a high-tech industry those are dollars not being spent at your car dealership, in your store or in your community.
The H1Bers appear like they are some of the most frugal people around. Imagine an engineer that is driving a 1989 Honda Accord, living in a 1 bedroom apartment. Never goes out to lunch w/ colleagues because yet again he brought his lunch just as he has done every day for the past 10 years. These H1Bers are NOT here for the American dream people, they are not here to integrate, they are not here to join the community. They are here for the cash and when the cash is gone so will they be.
