Another whore to the corporate globalists pretends that the concepts of supply, demand, and market-clearing price don't apply to tech labor (while touting his adjunct professorship in economics).

BLM activists don’t know how to code?

Or drive a truck?

BS. Anyone who actually works in the trenches in a tech field knows this is a lie.

Missing a predicate:

Tech Workers Were Already Hard To Find. [... for what we feel like paying them.]

American culture was already hard to find. The H1B Visa suspension just helped the effort to protect it.

Just maybe, then...

...there will be students finding it worthwhile to go for their engineering degrees again

...and companies can invest their trillions in those engineering schools.

...and then pay proper wages again.

I get so furious when I hear people say the H1B visa system is good. It is un-American and treasonous for any Member of Congress to vote for it. Corrupt bas$@&#$!

How many U.S. citizens graduate from college each year with a degree in software engineering or computer science?

These businesses who want to pay their employees pennies while they enjoy million dollar salaries and bonuses will not convince me that Americans can't do the job, or that there's not enough of them. They just don't want to pay them what they're worth.

If you fire an American to hire an H1B, you are a traitor.
It has happened to WAY too many Americans. H1B needs to happen under the old rules where you had to prove you could not find a qualified American.

Now you can literally tell them you want to fire American workers and import foreigners, and they allow it.

Only < 35 tech workers are hard to find. End blatant age discrimination and there are MORE than enough folks. ...and the older ones are more grateful and have gained wisdom (oh, and won’t be out defacing statues)

The H-1B has been around for 30 years. Are you telling be that’s not enough to time to train Americans for those jobs?

They’re not hard to find, you just can’t offer them Indian wages.

Yes, because there are NO tech-workers among the 42.5 million Americans recently made unemployed by Government reaction to Covid-19.

Forbes can go to hell.

Try not stating you’re looking for an entry-level $30K/yr programmer with 30 years’ experience in a programming language that’s only been around for 12 years.
