Stay classy. You're on a credible website here. Not like DU, is it?
Cheap wetback labor destroys Americans’ lives.
————
Cheap Indian dot head labor destroys it a lot more. Wetbacks don’t normally take white-collar office and service-oriented work, the heart of the American middle class.
Say goodbye to all American tech jobs. This is the end of white collar jobs in America. The Indians have all but monopolized technology job recruitment now. So your resume is useless now.
———————
Thousands of CVs (resumes) sent out to US companies for US positions and very few interviews. Could not get past the absolute gauntlet of Indian recruiters, Indian hiring managers or Indian engineers.
Sent out a few CVs to foreign companies located abroad. Interview after interview, and offer after offer. Thailand, UK, China, Singapore, Canada, Germany and the Netherlands.
A few, visa holds (no new visas until coronavirus restrictions are lifted)
Finally took an online role in Singapore while/ until June when my UK position starts. (No problem with work visa or Coronavirus restrictions)
WHY THE HELL does an American have to go overseas to find any work?
My options in the US were limited to brutal manual labor work at about 1/4 of my former salary.
As a general rule, threads on how the America labor force is being screwed over gains little attention. For the most part, Free Republic could give a rats a$$ about US workers and labor issues.

True. In another thread, Freeper after Freeper is actually calling for the elimination of the minimum wage. Hey, with no minimum wage, companies can hire Kumar or Jose for $2/ hr. Great for business labor costs. Not so great for Americans.
It might depend on the STEM field. What bothered me most about recent U.S. graduates in my field wasn’t their technical skills; it was their disgracefully poor command of the English language. I was astonished at how many American-born STEM graduates had English writing skills that were worse than what I’d see from their peers who spoke English as a second language.
——————
So you are saying Indians and Communist Chinese (I can’t understand either). Indians constantly sound drunk. No I will not revert anything, you can’t have my good name and I won’t do the needful. Effing speak English without that filthy accent.
Chinese are just as bad.
And both groups have mastered the copy-paste.
Drive all wages to 15 will be the outcome. Why study STEM if it’s going to pay 15. Might as well flip burgers.

$15? Boeing was using $9/hr contractors from HCL Technologies- Hindustan Computing Limited - for its 737MAX project. In Seattle. At or below minimum wage in King County.
Nobody knows this.
To support my arguments, I always link to my very-same arguments from last year...
Not the only one at all. The Unemployable Rate is close to 50% and government can only soak up so many of them.

Or more likely cares. Their job wasn’t replaced by a dot Indian H1B (yet), or they are thinking of those poor Indians on reservations that need jobs. (Seriously)
”Finally took an online role in Singapore while/ until June when my UK position starts.”
Congratulations!
“WHY THE HELL does an American have to go overseas to find any work?”
I guess corporate globalists haven’t bothered to buy those governments as they have ours.
“To support my arguments, I always link to my very-same arguments from last year...”
They’re not “my arguments”, troll, but facts from the CIS; and what has changed to invalidate them since I posted them?
Not the only one at all. The Unemployable Rate is close to 50% and government can only soak up so many of them.

An bona-fide American degree is worthless for an American to hold.
It’s golden for a foreigner, however. Likewise, the foreigner’s fake, unverifiable Cracker Jack Box degree from India is also considered golden to American companies. It’s from an exotic place, so it must be great, right?
A higher minimum wage increases unemployment for Americans; a reduction in foreign labor increases unemployment for foreigners.

If it wasn’t for all the foreign trash labor coming into the US and forcing Americans to work minimum wage jobs, I would be against a minimum wage increase.
But since I’m one of the affected ones (locked out of tech - and most teaching, as universities are increasingly preferring foreigners and there is no H1B visa cap in education - due to the Indian mafia), I welcome any increase, as only jobs I qualify for outside of tech and university teaching are those part-time minimum wage jobs without benefits.
There is no historical data to support that myth....
“only jobs I qualify for outside of tech and university teaching are those part-time minimum wage jobs”
The higher the minimum wage, the less likely you are to get one of those jobs.
”Nearly two-thirds of the studies reviewed estimated that the minimum wage had negative (although not always statistically significant) effects on employment. Only eight found positive employment effects. Of the 33 studies judged the most credible, 28, or 85%, pointed to negative employment effects.” - https://wol.iza.org/articles/employment-effects-of-minimum-wages/long
Look at historic unemployment data then look at the minimum wage and you will see no correlation what-so-ever.
Your method of ‘research’ is shoddy. From the link: “minimum wages are unlikely to matter for higher-skill workers. [...] The employment declines might not appear to be large, even if the disemployment effect among the least-skilled workers is strong. [...] Studies focusing on the least skilled were highlighted, as the predicted job reduction effects of minimum wages were expected to be more evident in those studies.”
