“I’ve paid my taxes, obeyed the laws and have been a good citizen supporting the community with donations,” the former SCE worker wrote. “I voted for President Obama and was appalled that he implemented a rule change, which allows work permits to H-1B spouses. My future votes will only go to candidates that support reforms to the H-1B visa program that preserve the American worker.”

I’m in Columbia and there will be a lot of cuts coming this year where I am due to a brand new automated facility that needed to be built a long time ago.
I’ll keep you in mind.
I’ve got my problems but being an 0 or any other dim voter isn’t one of them.
Correction: I’ve *had* employees with Masters who can’t code. They get phased out quickly.
What do you do? Right now I need C#, and strong web development skills. We’re a .Net shop, but I’m technology agnostic in many ways.
Bummer. the first one never and the second a little and ancient. I wouldn’t pay me for it. I just fix stuff.
In America....
Sacrifices are required.
Sad thing is, 0bama didn't hide this intention, and dupes like the poor sod above voted for him anyway.
This guy will still vote for the Left, period.
No sympathy for the moron.....
We tried to warn him and he called us “tea-baggers” or worse.
Now look what happened? Make your bed and sleep in it fool.
Well we now know just how all that hopey changey thing is working out for this voter.
There is a word for someone like this; "chump".
Cant argue with that.LMAO
well, we had about 5m people in the IT sector in 2000 before the H1b bill was signed. that dropped to 2m and bounced back to around 3m, with the rest either on-shoring or off-shoring
either way, 1m jobs isn’t going to help a country of 1b very much.
but it is pushing the sector off-shore and killing good, creative jobs Americas like to do
Perhaps he was inferior and underperforming worker and not up to the tasks at hand
reap <<<<<< sow
That's like the idiots who supported ObamaCare but never thought it would affect them...until they lost their existing medical insurance coverage and had to replace it with an ObamaCare version that increased their premiums and deductible fivefold. How can people be so dumb? Oh, I forgot, they voted for Obama.

I believe that the H1B program is doing terrible damage to the growth and the future of the American tech field (1) by creating morale problems among highly-skilled American tech workers----"Will I have job tomorrow? Will I have to move every few years in search of a job because more and H1B workers keep popping up wherever I work and taking my job?---and (2) by discouraging smart young people from entering the tech field because they know that they could lose their jobs any day to an H1B foreign worker, so they try to enter occupations where H1B workers are not eligible.
There should be a law like this one for private companies and even for public agencies : If you lay off American tech people, you are ineligible for foreign worker programs like H1B.
1. My point is this: It is morally wrong and makes no sense for a tech company like Microsoft, Facebook, and Apple to, say, layoff 20 tech workers, then turn around and beg the federal government to let them hire more H1B foreign workers under the pretense that they can't find American citizens to do the job, referring to the same American workers who they just coldly laid off.
2. As I see it: It is morally wrong, obscene, and downright un-American for a company to layoff, say, a $80,000 a year American worker just so that the company can turn around and stab American workers in the back by hiring an H1B workers at, say, $60,000 a year to do the exact same job.
3. And to add insult to injury, the greedy company may order the fired worker to help the H1B foreign worker learn his new job before the fired worker can leave his job. Sick I tell you.
4. California Edison biggest abuser? I recently read that California Edison is one the biggest abusers of the H1B foreign worker program. (I don't live in California.)
5. California Edison's top officials: Does anyone have a list of the top officials at California Edison? Thanks.
6. Let's Email California Edison officials: Once we have the list of California Edison's top officials, we can then bombard them with letters, emails, and phone calls in which we tell them what scumbags they are for abusing the H1B program by laying off good American tech workers and cold-heartedly replacing them with H1B FOREIGN workers, simply because the foreign workers work for less money and benefits. Sick I tell you.
7. List of American companies with the most H1B workers? Anyone have a list of American tech companies with the most H1B foreign workers?
8. List of American companies who have requested the most H1B foreign workers in the past 2 years? And continue to do so?
9. List of states with the most H1B foreign workers?
10. Imagine this scene in South Korea, India, and Taiwan. Tech teachers tell their students something like this:
11. "If you get good grades, you can look forward to going to the United States under the United States H1B program.
12. "And after a few years, you can leave the company and start your own company and automatically get your green card. America is not going to send you back home after it has invested so many years in training you and letting you live comfortably in the United States."
13. To those tech companies that hire H1B workers: Your cold-hearted hiring and firing practices are contributing to the slow destruction of the American Way of life as most of us have come to know and love.
I have a feeling this moron was not a real IT worker, he was probably a project manager or one of the other corporate weasel soft skill management positions.
The real IT jobs have been dealing with this problem for years, since before Y2K. The H1Bs come in, they are sent to the training to upgrade skills and to learn new systems. They are the ones who are put on the key projects and given the resources to succeed and have the blind eye turned to their inadequacies because of their “value” to the company.
The mid-level managers are finally feeling the pinch; they’re overdue, idiots.
You’re right about that. On the job training in the IT area can produce someone who can design and write code a step or two above “Hello World” and can set up basic network switches, maybe. It takes a bit more than just training to do the job right; it takes an education to start with.
The IT H1Bs are not off the truck without any real skills, most are college grads and most are educated here in the U.S. Many know less than what their employers think they do because of the way their home country portrays their “education” and because the dirty little secret is that they cheat in multiple ways to be sure they maintain A averages. OJT is not going to give you someone trustworthy enough in their knowledge to maintain that air traffic control system or to work on the software that controls those medical devices you rely on.
There is a description on what constitutes being an American. Your daughter fits that description. God bless her.
Pretty much feel the same way. Most of the ones I know are protected little gov co drones that did.
We can’t tax them, their country of origin can, and don’t forget all the spouses that can tag along and work here unrestricted and without having to pay income tax here.
We are losing a generation of our own brightest over this, to say nothing of the number of unemployed 50 year-old engineers whose doctors suddenly found reason to call them disabled.
Speaking of doctors, I know a very bright young doc struggling along with $100,000 of debt and no good job prospects, meanwhile you go to the hospital for a screening and just TRY to find a doctor not speaking broken English!
