I hear the Brooklyn Bridge is for sale as well.

Google just beat the DOJ. Outsourcing isn't going anywhere.

Is that what all of H1B visa talk is about?

In a word, No.

I would love to talk with someone that speaks English when I need support and really would like to see that brought back but how does he have the authority to tell companies where their call centers are located?


India is now a de-facto ally of China and Russia, we do not want them infiltrating every aspect of American lives, they can not be trusted.
We dictate every day whom our private companies are allow to do business with.

Watch Tesla, Apple, Microsoft, and Google be excluded. They want to destroy all their competition through Trump.

Straight up pay-to-play corruption and interference with the market for his donors and friends.

It's the Billionaire's Boys Club.

Pretty much AI can handle call centers with ease.


You aren’t kidding. I called to make a payment yesterday. The AI lady that answered never missed a beat. Took my credit card info. Applied the payment and emailed me a receipt. Super efficient and easy. I was impressed

Interesting idea i've been in the IT industry for 28 yrs and work with India folks, big cultural diff but we keep everything on the business level.

There's a lot of US workers that deserve a shot but it comes with a not so disciplined ideology!

Lol.. we just cut 10% off our workforce and gave the contract to IBM, who assigned contractors in India and Columbia. The justification we can get 4 contractors for the price of 1 fte, and don't have to worry about laws or benefits. This is the future.

This would be his biggest W to date. Tech jobs are being purposely hidden from qualified Americans to get cheaper H1Bs in.

This absolutely must be done.

AI is a 'jobs extinction event' for analysts, developers and software engineers.

There is NO reason for even 1 H1B (for people in these fields of study) to be allowed into the country.

Plus, there are too many example of people being brought in run laundry-mats (true story); we are only shooting ourselves in the foot.

BANNING American IT firms from outsourcing their work to India


And stop the influx of Indians moving to Texas and taking American's jobs.


A lot of American kids are choosing other paths than IT because the market is all Indians and all they hire are Indians.

We need to use our drones to take out Indian, Pakistani, and Filipino call centers.
