I totally agree with this article. I’ve seen the change over the past decade. Foreign tech labor is one of the reasons many tech schools went belly up. Its not that we don’t have enough people to fill tech jobs nor is it a lack of smarts to the work. What it is a lack of is desire to develop tech workers when one can harvest those workers already educated in foreign nations at a fraction of what it costs to educate a person here. The tech sector was one of the areas during the 90s that offered a very affordable path to good salaries and upward mobility now many of those jobs either go directly offshore or to foreign workers with work permits.
Im not anti work permits but I believe that US citizens should come first and that such work permits should not be used to replace US workers and that such a misuse of the permits should be very costly for businesses in litigation. Some of these companies that claim to be good corporate citizens and “green” are pathetic building their products in environmental wasteland countries for slave wages while American citizens lose jobs and opportunities to people brought here from third world countries and then of course this feeds the cycle where real US citizens have less children because they make less money and both damn parents have to work to provide the same wages that single wage families could once provide and that’s before you talk about the cost of education now up 700% and medical up 400%.
Eventually we have say ENOUGH is ENOUGH. Americans elect their leaders its about time their leaders start acting like Americans are their #1 priority. I’m personally tired of feeling like a second class citizen in my own damn country while fuckups, deviants and illegal aliens get treated like they are crapping golden eggs.
“The tech sector was one of the areas during the 90s that offered a very affordable path to good salaries and upward mobility...”
Well, that wasn’t right - it had to be stopped!
Furthermore, there exists an evil cabal of Dems and GOPe’s who are more than willing to help in this effort. It’s one area where the two sides of the same steaming dog turd can work together - to screw Middle America.
Combine to that the fact we’ve been cutting two of the best ‘tech schools’ we have (the Navy & Air Force) and it almost seems as if the policy is deliberately designed to undermine native citizens.
