I wish H-1B visa holders would start displacing college professors and media reporters. The howls of protest would be deafening.

[End Times Sentinel]

thousands of skilled [cheap] foreign workers.

[DoughtyOne]

LOL

Now you’re talkin. They’d probably be much more pro-US too.

[lodi90]

THIS is why Amazon & Microsoft are attacking Trump now.

[Fiddlstix]

Nailed It !

[wetgundog]

I work in the medical device industry. Too many H-1B;s in the companies I have worked for while good American engineers languish in the unemployment lines.
Kick them all OUT!

[MIchaelTArchangel]

relied on by silicon valley to hire cheap labor so they can fire American workers.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Oh, we have more than our share of H-1Bs here, in fly-over land...

[omega4412]

Overhaul? Abolish!

Trump’s changes will favor the tech companies in Silicon Valley.

Right now, the fraudultent H1B visas are being used to staff the tech departments of non-tech companies, like banks and brokerage houses. Guys from India who are little more than glorified high-school graduates are being used to fill seats in operations and programming departments, at wages lower than American workers.

Companies like Amazon and Google really are hiring highly skilled foreigners and paying them high salaries. They will find that they get more visas, and companies like Cognizant and Tata get fewer.

Reading a book called Chaos Monkeys. It is about start up culture in Silicon Valley and the author provides a good insight about the corrupt H1-B1 visa program including using it to threaten employees who consider leaving their indentured servitude

[blueplum]

oh dear, Silicon Valley will just have to start hiring Cal State and UofC grads, how horrible for them /s

[rightwingcrazy]

That’s why Google, Apple, Netflix et al are all starting to unveil their ugly side.

There was one eggregious case in which Tesla motors in Fremont, CA. relied on a headhunter for a H1B from Slovenia or the Czeck Republic, can’t remember which.

The guy was on a contract and how it worked out was he was working 6 days a week 19 hours a day for...

FIVE DOLLARS PER HOUR.

This has been going on in medicine for years - foreign medical grads with J-1 and H1-B visas displacing American medical school graduates in residency programs. Why you ask? Because the gov has offered to subsidize the salary of FMG residents so hospitals can pay them less unlike their American counterpart. So-called white privledge doesn’t exist in medicine

[polymuser]

Trump speaks what real Americans know. Trump calls a scam a scam. Trump speaks truth to corruption. Trump puts good, moral people into leadership positions.

[central_va]

The media act like there is no domestic supply of software engineers and STEM workers. Like is is fixed and can never get larger as demand for domestic labor increases.

Maybe if this country stopped treating its workers like shit by making them compete with ungrateful 3rd worlders and just had to compete with their fellow Americans the USA may have a chance. May.

[HarleyLady27]

Well here comes phase two of President Trump's plan, we'll see how many corporations stay after they find out he wants ‘Hire Americans’ first and other last...

[Pelham]

abolish the H1-b

Silicon Valley and their pals abused it, make them pay by killing it

[A CA Guy]

Make H1’s require a fee of $2000 each and make them paid $4 an hour more than the cost of a local.
