Libs piss and moan about a wage gap, then do all they can to drive wages down. Rich tech executives hiring Indians.

I have always maintained that we, as a nation, are committing suicide by inviting those who hate us and those who wish us ill to come live with us. Besides, there are plenty of Americans who thoroughly despise and hate this nation; all one has to do is to observe the many riots that have taken place since Trump was elected president while nothing is being done about them. All of it is condoned under the guise that it is allowed and protected under the First Amendment. The FA is being used as an excuse and a weapon. Live by the FA, die by it. Trump is slowly running out of ideas to MAGA — perhaps it’s too late because, over the years, we have dug ourselves too deep a hole that we cannot crawl out.

We can turn it around. We just have to make sure our President doesn’t have to fight this alone. I know for a fact that you can stand up to anything, fight any foe, if you don’t feel alone in the battle.

People running these companies now are coming from our liberal indoctrination centers AKA our universities. None of them seem to know how to run a business long-term. It’s all short-term profits, screw everything else.

If they have to take the work overseas, short-change the product, or hire cheap labor via these visas, they will do it to show investor’s their great profits every quarter. Not that they are obligated to do that but they do not seem to care about the long-term damage they might do to their companies over time with this strategy. eBay is a great example of this.

Of course, when these liberal CEO’s can run to the government to bail them out when their short-term policies have failed, just goes to show they have no clue on how to maintain their businesses long-term. But why would they when our corruptocrats bail them out when they fail.

Screw these liberal companies that think they are entitled to this cheap labor.

That would be fantastic. Unfortunately it would take a new Party that was truly for and by the people to accomplish that, and we don’t have one.

I really worried that CWII would happen under Obama. My thoughts have now changed.

And it’s coming sooner than any of us believe I’m afraid.

Levi’s are clearly worn by metrosexuals and queers. My husband and sons can’t wear them. I’ll stop there and let you determine why. I’m sure real men understand what I’m saying.

Another hint: I used to wear men’s Levi’s until I started boycotting them years ago. That should finish painting the picture of their “target consumers.”

My understanding of Ancestry is that it does nothing to help you anyway, it just sends you on a wild goose chase. All they did was lock up all the internet search websites to where you have to go through them to search databases that used to be free. I used to think they actually helped you, or had the information in an easy to find location on their website but I’ve been told it is anything but that. They have a very low rating with the BBB and will keep billing you even after you have cancelled. I wanted to join but after finding out all of that I chose not to. Is My Heritage better or are you on a wild goose chase there as well?

There are two sides to this. I've spent my career working in an engineering discipline, and I can tell you that the quality of American-born engineering students coming out of U.S. schools leaves a lot to be desired. These schools simply aren't producing enough quality engineers to meet industry and government demands.

One of the reasons H1-B visas are popular in the tech industry is that these are among the few job skills that are truly transferable internationally. If you live in a third world country and you have an aptitude for higher education, engineering and medicine are often the only professions that have any value in your country.

Reminds me of the question: What came first, the chicken, or the egg? I would suggest that is the wrong question. The question should be HOW to put America First.

The chicken, or the egg premise is flawed in that it asserts and accepts as fact that Americans can't hack STEM careers and, as such, Americans should be subordinated by foreigners. Interestingly, the same is argued regarding population e,g, Americans are not birthing enough children, lets import foreign foreigners...

The arguments above have merit in a globalist environment that completely ignores the HOW to put America First question -they fail an America First sniff test.

Government should foster and promote America First solutions to problems that un my opinion the government most likely created yesterday and perpetuates today.

Thanks. At least President Trump and VP Pence were inaugurated with no incidence. :)

Sad, isn’t it? It is estimated that there are as many as 300 million radical islam terrorists dedicated to harming the western civilizations. The Pew research estimates are at 400 million with an estimated 1.6 billion muslims worldwide at only 25%.

But the real point is that it doesn’t make any difference if it is a religious group, a country, a continent, or the Vienna Boys’ Choir. The law and the act state any group that the president feels is a threat to the US and its citizens can be banned from entering the country. This thinking of it has to be reconsidered because it is identified as a religious group, doesn’t mean squat. And the only people that consider Islam a religion of peace, are muslims or people who do not do the research or know much about this political sect or their interpretation of sharia law or the Koran.

Case as discussed, or just disgusting? Thank you for the opportunity to quote the law and the act so those around you can read it and maybe look it up to get a total understanding of just how much damage this crap can cause. Opening up the borders to create a voting base for the libs is absolutely stupid. But that is what they are trying to accomplish. Along with get some innocent people killed.

One good way to hurt these companies is to ask their leaders why don’t they hire American college graduates instead of foreigners.

I know it is to save money but with our really educated college graduates needing work so badly, you’d think that these companies would hire and retrain them so as to have a permanent employment pool of talent.

Then I could be wrong about just how smart our businesses really are.

Comes the revolution, they will be the ones paying the price.
