H-1B ping. Let me know if you're not on the list and want to be added (or are and want to be removed).

Ryan did not want to be the speaker. There were others who did want to be speaker. Thus there was no reason for him to take the position he did not want. Apparently, he was just to weak to resist the pressure to accept it. Not surprisingly his job performance has been terrible.

Because they don’t care, it’s all meaningless to these politicians.

He is fully aware. Faking ignorance to avoid responsibility.

H-1B visas have been around since Bush the Elder started this scam 25 years ago. It is a major lobbying issue and has been under the radar for a long time. Any congressmen that says they don't know about is a < expletive deleted > liar.

Too bad fat boy talk show hosts would rather talk about iphones than something relevant like thousands of Americans losing their jobs to indentured servants.

It’s no more ignorance than Obama is ignorant in destroying this country. It is intentional and a reason Republicans are so angry.

This seems to be about the “looter class”

Pretend fight for the voters and globalize poverty.

Paul Ryan will care about American workers when his big money donors (the open borders and H-1B visa crowd) tells him to care. Until then he's for unlimited H-1B visas and unlimited immigration as part of the Cheap Labor Express Lobby.

How does unlimited immigration of low of low skilled people with limited education help a technology-based American society? These people are a collective drag on the economy and not a boost. The H-1B visas aren't the solution, either. Conclusion: Ryan is a political whore for sale to the highest bidder.

Ryan even makes Joe Biden look like a MENSA member.

I'll admit that I don't know all of the Disney details but if it's like many of these deals that I am familiar with it is largely about offshoring.

In my experience every support task that can be done remotely is sent offshore. What remains behind are the customer interface positions, account management and people who need to be physically present to do their jobs.

These are the ones where H-1B visas come into play. The outsourcer wants people in these positions who are loyal, who understand their culture and can communicate effectively back to India or wherever the bulk of the work went.

Although the displaced Disney workers may be technically qualified, they don't have the other skills and aren't very useful to the contractor. It really isn't so much about the salaries of the H-1B workers, but the fact they enable the big savings which are in the offshore labor.

Not really what the H-1B program was intended for but certainly how it's being used now.

Paul Ryan is a true believer on expanding immigration. He supported welfare for illegal aliens and called opponents racist in 1994. There is no principle he won’t cross for importing more socialists, unemploying more Americans, and driving down wages.

“Secondly, I believe we should expand legal immigration, reduce the barriers, reduce the waiting periods and I’ve introduced two amendments to significantly expand legal immigration, to double the caps on legal immigration from 675,000 to 1.3 million and to increase temporary high skilled workers by 500%.” - U. S. Senator Rafael Edwardo “Ted” Cruz - 2013
