H-1B ping. Let me know if you're not on the list and want to be added (or are and want to be removed).

Who does Fox News’ IT work? That’s the $64 question.

Most FReepers are brighter than you and will learn everything they need to know from the author's name. (And a few stray boobs putting $0.00003 in Fox News' pockets doesn't stress me.)

Fox News is in the car for the establishment GOPe RINO’s and therefore will support open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens already in the US illegally!

Nothing new here!

I haven’t watched tv news in years.

If it isn’t on FR, I don’t need to know about it—LOL!

“Fox News is in the car for the establishment GOPe RINO’s “

Fox News IS the GOPe.

Fox/WSJ ARE the FINANCIERS of the GOPe in D.C..

Minor repair. Have a good day.

You've made the right decision. (I provided the link just for the record.)

Screw them.

Mega-ditto!

I read the article, by Bill Richardson governor of NM.

I’m in the IT industry and work alongside H1B people all the time. Typically, they interact with each other and business analysts. Therefore communication abilities are often limited.

However, I bridge the H1B guys and corporate users such as accounting and operations. I need to be clear and to the point.

My job is not in jeopardy.


Years ago, when the drywall installer union protested Mexican installers, I sided with the Mexicans. Not because they were cheaper, because they were not that much cheaper, it’s because they were reliable, sober and efficient. I know construction company owners that will not hire non Mexican trades. Yes he is profiling.


So I sympathize with both sides on the H1B thing. Often, H1B hiring is a symptom of bad management, not bad employees. But there is no political solution for bad managers who stay within the law.

It’s not only the illegal immigration that needs to be stopped and millions of them should be sent packing back to where they came from BUT:

If we, as voters, don’t vote out these House and Senators that are up for re-election, all the work we are doing right now is not going to help at all...

We have a rare chance of putting America back on her feet, but if you keep re-electing the same people, we are not going to get new blood, new ideas, and help whoever gets POTUS with any help....

Vote for the new person on the block, get rid of these blood suckers...send them packing!!!

I’ve seen both sides of this issue too. I think a large part of the problem is that American workers are less transient than immigrants. IT professionals, close friends, who have been under-employed since 2003 refuse to move from their beautiful country home in South Carolina while employers here in Seattle struggle to find qualified applicants.

Should we force companies to set up shop in rural areas? No, just as we shouldn’t force people to relocate for employment. It is a free market system.

Now as for the Disney example, that wasn’t a case of employees refusing to relocate. Everything I’ve read about the case indicates that Disney violated the H1B terms by hiring in employees at sub-par wages.

There is no shortage of IT /STEM workers in the USA. There is a shortage of IT/STEM workers willing to work at below market wages.
