Thoughts on why the H-1B visa expansion proposal to quadruple foreign technology workers for jobs in Silicon Valley is linked to the proposal to provide amnesty to thousands of illegal immigrants.

I don't like either proposal--increasing H-1B Visas or granting amnesty to illegal immigrants, but I really dislike combining the issues..

It appears as though Silicon Valley isn’t too impressed with American techies trained in American schools.

That’s a good point. One answer is this; notice how the left mixes legal and illegal “immigration” in terms?

They want to blur the lines.

We all know these tech companies truly don’t need that many foreigners to write basic code. They just don’t want to spend their money working to get Amercians into the tech market. They know they are lazy and stupid and our education system turns out morons.

Live by liberalism, die by liberalism.

It isn’t like they don’t move their tech support and writing to China or India already.

I’m supposed to worry about billionaires making more money?

"...tech companies that are hungry for immigrant technology..."

What is immigrant technology? Sounds like something they could go to a store and buy.

With Silicon Valley’s desire for all the H1B visas, one would think that every IT and computer nerd in the country would be turning down work. However, that ain’t the case.

And I wonder how many out of work IT folks are supporters of the obama, the Dems and the eGOP? Because it seems like they’re the folks keeping you out of the workforce.

There’s big money for Democrat political campaigns linked to his action on immigration, whatever that may be.

This is an election year.

I’m fine with the H1B visa program.

Tying illegal immigration is a fraud.

Yet silicon valley supports Common Core, which prevents the US from graduating enough competent engineers. They are too busy teaching multi-culturalism and degrees that have no market value. No problem for all of the American checkout clerks, they will be excused from paying the tab. I guess they’re counting on tax dollars from foreigners who have the high paying jobs.

more H1-B visas ain’t gonna fix the border. and being as I have lived in sillycon valley for over 30 years, I fail to see how amnesty fixes anything that plagues this state.

how some could be so willing to sacrifice this nation for a few votes is beyond me.

I guess they can always send their kids to private schools and foreign countries on vacays.

The rest of us slubs, good luck.
