Who are you fooling- “Simply hire the best regardless of where they are from”

These H1B visas is no big deal when they bring in the best employees from around the world.

Hypocritical -“ let’s just hire Americans” is the most hypocritical thing to say when you say you are against DEI.

My thoughts - is hire the best person regardless of they are from, have them compete for the job.

Just because you are a native born American should not give you the job if someone else will be better at the job.

Let’s be real - our education system in America has been ruined by the government and by liberals who run higher education.

Competition should exist for every opportunity whether it is on the athletic field, in the boardroom or in the hiring line. If you can’t compete, work on yourself, improve yourself. May the best person win.

Companies should be able to recruit the best from around the world, athletic teams should be able to recruit the best players on the world.

This is a non-issue. Liberals and Never Trumpers will do what they can to derail the Trump Train. If you find a problem with Trump. Elon, Vivek and everyone else - your Trump card has to be questioned- what are your true intentions?

The best engineers are Anglo-Saxon and American-born. Not even close.

What a joke.

You are truly not an America First supporter and truly not a Trump supporter.

If you can’t compete, you can’t get the job,

I work in software development. We go with cheaper foreign developers over better local developers all the time. Not my call and I don’t like it. But people who say it is only a matter of supply are deceptive.

Has nothing to do with who is ‘better’. It has to do with who is cheaper.

Similar to how homes are now thrown up by a bunch of low iq workers who don’t give two shits about anything but how fast they can move on to the next house which sacrifices quality. At one point we had skilled craftsmen who took pride in their work and built quality homes. Those days are long gone.

Immigration has consequences. Call it work Visas but it leads to immigration. Ask the British how importing the BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST is going. Half of the property in London is now owned by people from India. American became the greatest country in the world without the help of India. Why if india has so many smart people is the place so undeveloped? Immigration means competition in every walk of life. Housing, recreation, jobs etc etc! It’s not good for America and is not America first! It’s a very liberal GOPe policy. Sorry it just is.

Should corporations run the country? If so, then we are not a republic but a corporatocracy.

The assumption of free market capitalism is that it ultimately serves the interests of the most people through mutual benefit. There are laws in place to prevent abuse of that system, such as laws against monopolies. If our country is being drastically abused by policies that benefit non-citizens, then the government can certainly step in to preserve the interests of the people.

If they need the best engineers like they claim why do almost none come from Germany or other European countries, but rather a third world shithole?

*rhetorical question.

Those are O1 visas.

A lot of push back is from tech workers who work with these people.

Sure the ones at Google are probably really good. (though some nonHB1 aren't...)

But we are telling you some of them can't find the bottom of a garbage can.
They have an impressive resume and are pulled in by companies that really really don't want to pay American workers.

But they suck and in many cases we need to pick up the pieces or lobby to have them tossed off our teams due to sheer incompetence and/or personality flaws.

I work with a large number of people from India, some are way better than me. I have no problem saying that. I'm glad they are here, we need them.

But some suck so bad, and openly brag that they got here by virtue of rich parents, and the scammed the system try to make it into management to hide their technical incompetence and then racially prefer other same caste Indians.

That's the problem we (tech workers) have, to me, if we had the same number of HB1, but they were all good I would take that all day long.

My client has been waiting for ... What month is it? Almost 60 days for an offshore developer to fix a JSON import error for essentially two data fields. They're losing six figures of revenue due to this a month, but this outfit is "cheaper."

Billions of people competing for jobs in the US.

Yeah, that sounds great... Zero impact on wages I'm sure..

Any wonder Americans are not going to STEM fields in high numbers?
