H1-B Not Intended to Replace American Employees, Trump Labor Pick Says

What the hell are you talking about? He’s AGREEING with you, saying the purpose of the program is the opposite of how it’s used.

He also seems to be surprised at the news that the H-1B program has been abused for many years. "Clueless" is not an attribute I would want in a cabinet secretary.

Which is why so many USAians lost their jobs; are losing their jobs. Trump allows this junk?

I went through an India-based devbootcamp and the common practice was to attach to the resume experience the company had not necessarily the individual. This propped up the individual’s experience to make it look like they had 7 years of experience. (Now they are boasting 10 years of experience for each individual). I was hired with a top company (not through this devbootcamp) and ran across one of these individuals. I spent 4 hours a day on the telephone with the individual teaching him and he supposedly had more experience than I did. I finally quit the job or rather walked out when they tried to cover up a TB incident. They told me they were a multi-billion dollar international company. I said okay and your point is? Then handed over my badge and laptop and walked out. These companies don’t hire the person, they obtain the position and rotate individuals through. If the salary limit is raised for the H1-B visa, then it will only go to show that resumes will continue to be faked to put individuals who are lesser trained and lesser experienced in the position. Then they will just have more money to send outside of the United States. Not putting that money towards our economy where it is sorely needed. I did research and in India, the exportation of labour is consider one of the top revenue generators for their domestic economy. The only solution here is to get rid of the H1-B visa program and any other program similar to it. Have an individual who wants to work here go through the normal process of immigration. This also means cancel all H1-B visa holders that have been here 3 to 5 years. Do not renew any H1-B visas that are being currently held. Increase the cost of work immigration visas to something beyond 20K USD per applicant. The numbers will fall and American workers in STEM might find suitable opportunities to gain needed experience that is currently being denied to them.

One last thing, references were also faked. The references were to individuals the company employed and it was their job to provide a good reference. Even if the individual never worked on that particular project.

It’s all about age discrimination.

This is the best source of information on the problem .
