    Trump: I want to scrap all H1B visas

    If American tech workers do not work on computer programming jobs for 10 to 15 years, how will they gain real-life experience and innovation knowledge of the computer and technology field.

    I have never seen a reason for them in the first place . If you scrap them you can revisit it later and see if they are needed .

    I've been waiting for this to happen ever since the first wave of replacing American workers (perversely forcing Americans to train their replacements in the process) with them.

    The company I worked for outsourced all IT operations to India. There were also plenty of Indian-Americans there who lost their jobs to their fellow Indian nationals back in their own country.

    Considering they have built their prosperity on theft and cheating I don't see how DJTvsg is wrong.

    The flaw in that theory is that those companies will have to go out of business or relocate to another country.

    What's funny is the idea that American businesses can't turn a profit without outsourcing or importing slave labor.

    They're having trouble turning a profit now! That's why we have to have interest rates near 0% and we have to borrow a trillion a year. Obviously not all businesses will fail. Just the ones that have a high percentage of H1Bs. It's the same math as raising the minimum wage.

    H1Bs are very much like ZIRP, they are a crutch to support other problems and they are bad.

    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.

    Russians and Europeans must also get jobs on H1-B visas.

    Expect a lot more of that now. And outsourcing to Canada. (Canada is welcoming the H1B visa holders).

    American tech/IT workers must work for $10,000/month. That is better than unemployment. Tomatoes are $3/kilo (cost of living) for everybody in USA.

    I think programming wasn't attractive for a lot of Americans because of our culture. There wasn't really any sort of a shift until movies like Matrix and TV shows like the Big Bang Theory. Even When Matrix came out Keanu Reeves paid the CGI team money out of his own pocket because he said they were the ones who made the movie good. Now we have people playing video games on ESPN and the biggest blockbuster movies are from comic books. Before nerds were cool comic book franchises were paying movie studios to make movies for their comics that they wouldn't even sell because they didn't want to lose the rights to their intellectual property.
