As an American engineer all am can say is. It’s about damn time!!
The influx of illegals and the tax incentives to export technology design centers to China, India, Taiwan and others has devastated the American middle class and drive to be an engineer. Becoming an engineer is HARD!! And the job security once you graduate is non-existence. I left the private segment and now work for NASA. I make half of what I made but have security. The number of kids going into STEM has plummeted because kids see their family devastated by parents losing jobs. Why go into a field that is hard, has no security, makes you study and take ridiculous unrelated classes (2 years of foreign language for a Electrical Engineer degree??), will leave you with a huge debt and not even a stable job.
My wife and I just completed a Federal Home Loan Mortgage License class and can make more at this starting, than 25 years of R&D in Tech earns. That’s what H1B has done.
That's the goal of corporate globalists and their GOPe lackeys.
The elimination of H1B is being spearheaded by Indians in Silicon Valley whose children who are now computers sci. graduates can’t find high paying jobs. Go figure...
Wow.
The H1-B abuse is absolutely terrible.
