There are so many American engineers and computer programmers out of work, some can’t even get interviews...while the big corporations continue to import hundreds of thousands of new workers from communist China (mostly), India (programming) and other countries.
This has been a problem for American workers for a long time.
As much as we (here at this keyboard) are in favor of allowing for legal immigration, we ARE in a deep deep recession ... and if the American people have ANY importance, any say, any rights at all ... WE are entitled to those few jobs which haven’t been exported .... or ended due to Obamacare and regulatory costs, etc.
Let Americans get back to work. THEN let some foreign workers in, fine and dandy. Don’t keep Americans unemployed while importing so many aliens to take our jobs away from us.
I saw stories of laid-off Americans told to train their foreign replacements
Should not be legal
This is true . I’m an American and every job I’ve had I’ve been replaced by immigrants. Now trying to get going in IT again and again they want to import immigrants to take my job away. Plus also Obama’s oppressive regulations have destroyed every business I’ve attempted . I hate Obama.
easy fix. Put in a requirement that you cannot hire a foreign or ILLEGAL worker unless you can prove that you cannot find an American legal qualified worker.
A friend says her hire illegals (presumably) because he can hire them at $3.00 to $4.00 an hour less than the American unemployed worker demands.
