We do have major shortages in high skilled areas in this country thanks to our wonderful education system, particularly in medicine, science, and technology. Those visas actually serve a purpose. I am a defense contractor that sells IT services and there are quite a few positions we can’tfill. We have to higher US citizens with security clearance and pay wellabove the market. I would imagine someone without the restrictions wpuld have to pluck someone out of India.

All I ever see from Walker supporters is what Walker says on immigration, not what he does, and a lot of what he says is that he moves over to the right, and only in thae last months.

Quit low balling and you can fill those positions today. IT IS CALLED SUPPLY AND DEMAND. You are an anti - American bigot.

And Reagan started out as a Democrat - let’s not let the emotions override the gray matter.

I’d like to see the H1-B visa program reformed. Companies should be required to pay 10% higher salaries to H1-B workers than the prevailing rate. After all, if they can’t find that talent here in the US, it must be worth a premium...
The number of H1-B workers should also be drastically reduced, although I suspect the above requirement would do a lot in that direction...

Sessions is very sharp. My sister lives in Huntsville.

Did you read his entire post?
It undermines your ‘you’re an anti-American bigot’ comment.

The problem with his logic is we don’t even get qualified resumes to even get to the point where salary comes up. He also sent me a private message that said:
“You are the problem, you scab loving loser. Take the H-1B visa and shove it.”
His calling me a bigot and overall behavior reeks of leftist.
To: wolfman23601
we dont even get qualified resumes to even get to the point where salary comes up.Calling me a leftist? Really?
Do you advertize salary ranges? Do you overload the impossible qualifications and complaining you can't fill the position so you can underhandedly bring in a H-1B with half the qualifications you originally advertized for? That is the way the "system" works.

Here is how the abuse of the H-1b visa system works.
- Never post salary for advertized position(s)
- Make the laundry list of technologies, qualifications and experience level for the position so high that NOBODY can possibly fill this position.
- Complain that you cannot find anyone.
- God forbid you actually find the one guy in the whole country with the ridiculous level of qualifications you bring him in for an interview him then extend a low ball offer.
- after you advertize for the required time, hire the H-1B visa holder (with maybe a tenth of the qualifications you advertized for originally) you had in the wings waiting.
- No government official oversight will follow up to see that there wasn't any qualified US citizen or see if the H-1Ber had the quals

I’m reminded of how Mitt Romney evolved in 2012 and the devolved again in the year or so after that.
The honest truth of the matter is that Scott Walker likely wants to do the same thing Marco Rubio wants to do which is get this immigration deal done and legalize the 11 million who are here because its the politically easy thing to do. If elected Walker will go along with the GOPe which will pass an immigration law declaring the border secured and letting everyone stay. Nobody learns English, nobody pays a fine, everybody goes on Social Security. The GOP wants to move on.
You don’t just change your mind on an issue as big as immigration.

I have a BIL who owns a defense contracting Corp in Hunstville, AL. He is hiring IT types now plus BSEE’s BSAE’s and MS in both plus logistics types, finance types you name it. He has not mentioned any hiring problems. I do know he said a number of the SOCOM GS-15’s were cut to 14’s a few years back in Tampa.

What does Reagan having voted democrat in the 1930s and 1940s have to do with today’s politics?
