Zuckerberg Ally: Americans Losing Jobs To Foreigners: ‘This Is What...Whole Country Is Built On’

With all due respect, if you have dozens of positions which you cannot fill, I suggest that perhaps you do your fellow Freepers a favor and let them in on these jobs...There are many people hurting that could use a good job and are not finding it so easy...or tell them what their kids should study so that they can find a job in hours upon graduation from college.

I am sorry if I am so politically incorrect here on FR to say AMERICANS FIRST, but that is how I feel. We should be making sure our citizens (especially vets) have the opportunities before recruiting all over the planet for H-1B visas.

As an aside, the University of Illinois, a very presigious and hence selective university, actually sent recruiters to China to recruit freshmen engineering students. They recruited several hundred—up from less than a hundred a few years ago. As an IL taxpayer who supports that school, I resent this— I think that at the very least,students from Illinois should be getting first crack at those slots in the classroom and did not...better yet, students from the US. I know of students were were not accepted—and it didn’t have to do with being qualified....Don’t even get me started on the issue of foreign birth tourism industry here...another competitive pressure on our students.

Sorry, IMHO the deck seems to be increasingly stacked against middle class US citizens. US citizens have paid their dues and should be at the head of the line.

...”We should be making sure our citizens (especially vets) have the opportunities before recruiting all over the planet for H-1B visas”....

Not going to happen as that is not what the Gobalists are planning and doing with their program for international flow of cheap “labor”.....and better positions the youth of today's attitudes and failure to excel in studies makes them ill prepared above foreign applicants. Sad to say but our educational system has failed as well as the students themselves. Ask anyone recruting and they'll tell you.

Thank you for posting this—knew I had seen it somewhere.

Well, I have read that many kids have poor attitudes and are not prepared, but I know that my kids went to a very competitive high school and were very well prepared and they were not finding jobs in hours. Actually, the one with a B.S. had the easiest time fining job in their field.

Interestingly, my PhD ChemE had the hardest time of all. One doesn’t get a PhD in Chemical Engineering failing to excel or having a bad attitude. Tough job market in his particular area of interest and I suspect a lot of foreign competition....

You're welcome. Keep it handy! :-)

And if you think H1B abuse will stay limited to Information Technology pros forever - think again:
