Trump: I want to scrap all H1B visas

[Itsback]

Dont be surprised. People are unemployed because the jobs that were created since 2008 treat people as Disposable Humans. Far too many very low paying jobs and temp work. The REAL Unemployment rate is still in the 20% range, despite the utter horse$#@! that comes out of Zippy's fingers. He will probably post if he reads this and immediately point directly to the Bureau of Lies. The only reason the Unemployment Rate has gone down is Smoke and Mirrors. Obama changed the law so the legal definition of long term unemployed went from 2 years to 1 year. It doesnt mean those people found jobs.

Where does the $300 billion dollar figure come from?

H1B visas are not designed well, they help employers abuse the recipients.

H1B is a kidnapping program? I didn't realize that, I thought the employees took the jobs voluntarily.

But they can't easily change jobs without being deported, that allows the employer to abuse them, if we are going to allow people to come here and work it shouldn't be attached to a specific job.

That's great BUT will he ALSO scrap the 61 H2-B's for cooks and servers Mar-A-Lago is asking for? Or he is just a $#@!ing hypocrite?

Yup. Killing H1Bs would kill competitiveness for many US companies. They'd be forced to relocate or outsource overseas. It would be damaging to U.S.
Even with the H1B, U.S. tech still suffers from a dearth of available tech competent American workers - Chemistry, physics, engineering.
H1Bs are not undercutting U.S. workers. In fact the skills and work ethics of H1B workers are so desirable that they are earning more than equivalent U.S. workers , not even counting the additional costs for relocation and legal work for the visa processing.
Walk into any post graduate tech and science programs in the U.S. Universities or even many just bachelor engineering programs. You'll witness them dominated by foreign students. They can't even recruit enough Americans into the programs. U.S. students are far more interested in majoring in political science, communication, marketing, humanities, business, management, sociology, psychology, history, English, general studies, liberal arts, criminal justice, etc.
U.S. students en masse are not interested in pursuing demanding tech degrees. Overwhelmingly U.S. high school students lack the necessary science and mathematics to succeed in such programs. Very few high school graduates have even been exposed to any proficient level of calculus. Most lack any math proficiency beyond rudimentary algebra skills.
U.S. culture programs its youth that other endeavors are far more important and desirable like sports, music, entertainment, virtue signalling, social statusing, protesting, getting triggered,
We are not talking about unskilled, uneducated, unvetted illegal immigrants here. We are talking about the ability to be able to recruit from the best talent from what the entire world can produce. That is an amazing competitive advantage.
If anything, to make America greater, Trump should raise the cap on H1B visa.
Fortunately , Trump won't scrap the H1B. He can't, as Congress write the laws. Even if he had the power he wouldn't, despite all the bluster.

^This. In the late 1980s when I was at UAB taking physics and chemistry as an undergraduate almost all of the lab assistants were Asian. The problem was they were hard to understand. We all clamored to get into a lab with a native English speaker, it didn't matter if he or she was black or white. As a computer science graduate student, the undergrads were clamoring to get into my lab for the same reason. It's funny that on the one hand people argue against the caravan migrants because they are too ignorant and poor and then argue against the H1B visa crowd because their too smart.

Rand Paul is on record for wanting to increase H1B visas.

H1B visa holders change jobs all the time. They just have to find another employer willing to go through the process.

https://www.prideimmigration.com/can...jobs-h1b-visa/

And an employer who abuses an H1B employee can be sued just under the same rules that any other employer can be sued. I know of a black researcher was was sued by her H1B visa holding employee for racial discrimination. The chargers were bogus but the university decided to settle anyway. (Nobody want to go to trial these days and sometimes it's hard to get an outright dismissal or summary judgement.)

This comes at a cost where somebody with actual charges can not find a lawyer.

H-1B Visas Would Not Be Extended Under Trump's Latest Proposal, Reports Say


Trump administration officials are examining whether they can come up with a new interpretation of the “may grant” language in the American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act to block H-1B visa extensions. Thousands of immigrants, most of them Indian, currently can apply for H-1B visa extensions beyond the permitted two 3-year terms if they have green card applications in the system.

“The idea is to create a sort of ‘self-deportation’ of hundreds of thousands of Indian tech workers in the United States to open up those jobs for Americans,” a source who spoke with Homeland Security officials told McClatchy DC.
If the proposal passes, 500,000 to 750,000 Indian H-1B visa holders could be forced to leave the U.S., according to IndiaToday.in.

Former Disney Employees Drop Lawsuit Against It Over H1B Visa Abuse

A group of former Disney employees has dropped their lawsuit against the entertainment giant in which they accused it of discriminating against them by replacing them with H1B visa holders, mostly Indians.The announcement came on Wednesday after years of court battles.

"We have lost. Unfortunately, we lost because it's legal," Sara Blackwell, the US attorney who had filed a lawsuit on behalf of the 250 Disney IT workers in 2014 told reporters during a news conference.Since then, Blackwell had filed four lawsuits against Disney on behalf of the fired American IT workers. She lost all. In one of the cases, a federal judge told her that Disney was following immigration law of the country.

When Morality has been Outlawed, only Outlaws will have Morality.

If an honest man find that the Law itself is Dishonest, the man faces the difficult decision of losing respect for the Law or losing respect for himself.

Those that support Open Borders will most likely take both of those statements and twist them to be used against us. The argument they will make is that we should have No Borders AND will demand Welfare. Morality means protecting your own Rights with respect to the Equal Rights of others. The whole H1B Visa Jobs thing IS coming at the expense of the people living in THIS country, thus, I believe it to be absolutely Immoral. If the people of their own native countries are not "allowed" to set reasonable limits on how many people can Immigrate, then the Immigrant Rights are coming at the expense of Native Rights.

I think the best thing to do here is Cui Bono, Who Benefits? Follow the money. Its nothing more than the powerful and wealthy looking at Immigration as Cheap Labor.

Why Big Tech pays poor Kenyans to programme self-driving cars

When Artificial Intelligence works as intended, Silicon Valley types often say it's "like magic". But it isn't magic. It's Brenda, a 26-year-old single mother who lives Kibera, Africa's largest slum, and perhaps the toughest neighbourhood on earth, where hundreds of thousands of people live in a space not too much bigger than London's Hyde Park.

Each day, Brenda leaves her home here to catch a bus to the east side of Nairobi where she, along with more than 1,000 colleagues in the same building, work hard on a side of artificial intelligence we hear little about - and see even less.

It is certainly possible to have tariffs that are too high but those countries are poor for many other reasons.
