It had the additional happy side effect (for the foreign workers like me) that we were grateful to our host country for a splendid opportunity rather than resentful for being exploited.

Nor were you resented by your coworkers for undercutting and taking jobs away from Japanese.

some of the people that come here are treated like dirt.

That's a feature not a bug. The tacit threat of job loss=deportation 'encourages' them to accept massive overtime with no pay, or else.

They can't simply regroup and get another job down the street.

When one company I worked for closed its doors, an H1-B co-worker was met at his home the next day and deported back to Iran. Ayatollah Khomeini's Iran, a regime he had bitterly opposed.

No one ever heard from him since. No one. Ever.

A lot of H1B’s are in management now so that may explain it.

Very true. Although I could detail and whine about a handful of “racist” incidents because Japan has such yahoos in their population. I could also detail where I was used as a resource and maintain lasting friendships more than two decades later as a result of 16 of the best years of my life lived there. I chose to do the latter.

That H4EAD thing is a REAL scam.

The resumes are 99% fake. The husbands, eager for the second income, think they are Scott Boros and turn into Superagents trying to sell them into IT jobs. They write the fake resumes, arrange for the proxy interviewers, stick their nose in salary negotiations, etc.

It’s not in the law and it;s a mystery to me why Trump has not ditched it yet.

Sad.

In Japan, foreign workers are free to seek employment elsewhere. The cream of the crop are actively recruited. I changed jobs once not because I didn't like the company for whom I was working, but because a bigger company offered me a better situation for a young man with a growing young family.

My daughter in Tokyo is now on her third job change because her skillset is a hot commodity.

I remember when Freepers were all giddy praising Mike Lee and looking forward to him being a future candidate for US President. Where are those Freepers now?

As an executive at a software company, I have no problem finding qualified Americans for my team.

Thanks for the report from the field!

Mike Lee (R- Big Tech) has been a big disappointment. I guess he does have to make his millions for when he returns to private life. Also need to get those lucrative contacts for a lobbying job later on.

Mike is also slow-walking hearings on big tech censorship coordination.

“Intel H1B labor”

It may be a contributor.

However, their essential problem is they don’t know what business they’re in.

From virtual reality to partnering with BMW on smart cars is a very broad paint brush.

Wow! Thank you, Senator Scott.

I voted for him with a jaded rye but he’s been pretty steady.

Lee has gone to the dark side! Influenced by the quisling junior Senator from Utah?

Mormons see all immigrants as potential converts.

They all need to hear from us.

The Mormon Church favors open borders for the sake of cheap labor and a large population of legal and illegal immigrants who can be induced to convert by the attraction of Moron Church charity and social services.

Mike Lee is pond scum, like Flake and McCain.

Why haven’t other Senators joined with Scott to shoot down Lee’s bill?
