You don’t know what you are complaining about
How many from their various sh*tholes will they EACH later sponsor, on average..?
10..?
More..?
FORGET IT.
Very BAD idea.
Pandering to the DNC donors is NOT going to get you votes
The “potential path to citizenship” just means the same as other people applying for IMMIGRATION...
If they are eligible for nationalization...
Its potential not definite/guaranteed...
They’ll be vetted for citizenship...
Probably a green card first...if they are eligible...
HELL NO!
The last thing Americans need is “our American” corporations importing more and more Communist Chinese and other foreign workers to give “our” jobs to, right here in USA.
This is LOSING, big-time.
The H1B program was sold on the basis it would admit persons with skills NOT AVAILABLE IN USA. What a phuquing LIE.
99% of the people the big companies import to take our jobs in USA are NOT even as qualified as our own workers... who the corporations won’t hire and won’t even interview or consider
This is disastrous!
I’ll hold off judgement until I see exactly what the changes are. If the changes reduce the over all number of H1B visas, require strict rules for companies to seek out American workers first, and allow current and only highly qualified visa holders to become free agents instead of the current system where they’re essentially held hostage for cheap labor, then such changes would be a positive step.
I get your sentiment but this is in keeping with POTUS’s proposal to change immigration to a merit-based system rather than a leftist politicized process of importing voters.
I think this folds in with the whole push with border security and immigration. POTUS will likely use the H1-B carrot as part of a strictly merit-based system while ending the insane catch and release, asylum based, import dem voter process that exists now.
I don’t like how H-1B lets certain groups in that end up taking over entire sectors of tech while self-promoting themselves and discriminating against whites and blacks. That needs to end. Let’s see if POTUS can get his proposal to address that.
I suspect the change will involve them not needing employer sponsorship, thus eliminating an element of indentured servitude.
If H1Bs are not indentured to their employers, they become much less attractive.
Can we just take care of job #1 before ‘improving’ on some of the other things?
Stop and reverse the illegal invasion FIRST. Then maybe we’ll talk.
The usual response from RINOs is “we can walk and chew gum at the same time”. Yeah? Well we’re not. 10,000/wk are waltzing in here illegally, poisoning our politics, our culture, our ‘safety net’ welfare system, raping, killing, and destroying property.
It is supposed to be America first.
While I can relate to your response, I really don't see why people are surprised by this. I'm certainly not. Disappointed yes, but not surprised. Trump has used the equivalent of H1B (I forget what exact program they call under) for his hotels and other businesses. He doesn't see why we have problems with these programs, and since both the democrat and republican parties are fully on board the cheap labor express, no one is going to gainsay his current perceptions.
There need to be a hell of a lot fewer H1B visas handed out. The banks are stuffed full of cut rate H1B Indians.
If the aim is to bring in skills the country does not have and needs like highly skilled engineers for example....fine. If however the program is used as it is now - to bring in white collar workers en masse to crush Americans’ bargaining power in their own country then hell no.
We don’t agree about much but on this we are in total agreement.
He’s making an end-run around the Dems. Trump is fine with immigration, but it’s got to be legal and it’s got to benefit the US.
Mexicans and other Latin Americans also benefit the US, and Trump is fine with this. But they’ve got to come in legally (that is, we have to know who they are) and abide by the rules. That’s all he’s asking, but apparently even that modest request is too much for the Dems (who of course have gotten elected through the illegal votes of illegal aliens and don’t want this voter stream interrrupted).
More info on Trump's H-1B visa tweet:
From the article:
When asked about Trump’s tweet, USCIS spokesman Michael Bars pointed to the administration’s proposed changes to the H-1B process, which are likely to become final later this year.
The proposal is designed to increase the number of H-1B beneficiaries by 16 percent, or 5,340 more workers, who hold advanced degrees from American universities. It would also entail a new electronic registration system meant to streamline the application process.
FYI
FINALLY SOME TRUTH ABOUT THE ISSUE!
