“Incidentally, with their unspeakable wealth, there is no conceivable reason in this world or the next why any of those three companies should ever need a single H1-B for anything, regardless of cost. As of last July, those three companies had $464 billion in CASH.”

It’s their cash, it’s their wealth, and those companies make decisions that are best for their own company.

“All employers should self revoke, or quit hiring banned citizens like the Antebellum south. Jail the employers.”

On what grounds are you going to jail employers?

“There are no other representatives: they have all been purchased by lobbyists.”

If that’s the case, we need to oppose the re-election of every member of the House and Senate and elect people that cannot be purchased by corporate lobbyists.

“You really need to be fired and replaced by an imported Indian who learned his skill in a mud hut...”

If that’s the case, we all need to expand and diversify our skill sets to be able to better adapt to a changing economy.

“When there is no longer room for common men to live and prosper in this country because people like you have imported foreigners to undercut us in the labor market and outvote us at the polls we will reform this country again in the manner we deem best suited to preserve our rights. “

I have never imported a foreign laborer and in no way advocate non citizens voting.

Get your story straight.
First it was, H1Bs aren’t replacing US citizens. Then it was, well, companies are onot competing on price. Now, it’s Americans need modern skills. So if the Americans don’t have the skills, you lying troll, how come they have to train in their replacements?

Willful blindness, given the Dems and their documented voter fraud, and never checking for citizenship at the ballot box.

Citizens are not being replaced as they are still citizens.

I never did say that companies do not compete on price.

And yes, every American should develop wide ranging skill sets.

If one finds themself in a position where they are training their replacement, they should take advantage of the strong economy and exercise their freedom to utilize more advanced or diverse skill sets to find another job.

Even if it puts the entirety of American citizens out of work, eh??? Who's going to pay the taxes to support all those unemployed Americans???

I see you are a newbie who is clearly not on the Trump MAGA bandwagon...Are you affiliated with the KOCH brothers???

Either the shareholders of the corporations make decisions which they belive is best for their corporation, or the federal government controls the corporations.

Which do you prefer?

Corporations do not have a responsibility to create jobs, corporations have a responsibility to make a profit.

There are taxes employers pay for American citizen workers. This is DOJ midterm kabuki because.. one.. the current administration approved how many H1Bs in the last 12 months? and two.. the us govt hires many more foreigners... so how about they go first.
No vetoed budgets without wall finding how many days and counting?

The consumer is not “willing” to pay that much; the real-estate cartel has fixed the price there.

“Pay our fee or live in an apartment”.

The market does provide you with the option to use a discount real estate broker.

There is no cartel, but your elected officials do take actions that make the real estate market much more process than needed.

I favor a system where corporate taxes are very low or non existent and government regulation is at a minimum.

What CEO makes a salary of a half billion a year?
