  1. Just following the lead from other countries by SuperKendall · · Score: 1, Flamebait · on US To Seek Social Media Details From All Visa Applicants (bloomberg.com)

    The UK already bans people from entering based on social media accounts.

    Canada googles citizenship applicants and questions people based on it.

    So frankly I see nothing new in what the U.S. is doing.

    So many people here on Slashdot seem to want more government. This is more government - congrats, you go what you asked for.

  2. Re:Fix the abuse, keep the program by shutdown+-p+now · · Score: 1 · on H-1Bs Reduced Computer Programmer Employment By Up To 11%, Study Finds (marketwatch.com)

    Kill H-1B, and replace it with a proper skilled immigration track. Look at Canada for inspiration:

    I am a former H-1B (now with a green card), who previously acquired Canadian permanent residency via skilled immigration program, so I had a chance to compare both. Canadian system wins hands down, and not just because it was easier for me personally. It just makes more sense in general, especially the overall points system, where the immigrants know what kinds of skills and traits maximize their chances, and citizens know that those getting visas and citizenship are actually screened to maximize benefits for their country.

  4. Re:Keep chasing ghosts, Americans, wake up! by goruka · · Score: 1 · on White House Petition To Let Foreign STEM Grads Work Longer In US Hits 100K Signatures

    This is misleading. They encourage companies to come, not job hunters.

    Misleading my ass: http://www.canadavisa.com/cana...
    Compare this to US immigration policy.

  5. Canada wants all of them! by origamy · · Score: 1 · on Smart Immigrants Going Home

    Canada started a policy to fast-track Immigration (not Visa) processing for H1B holders - http://www.immigration.ca/permres-pnp-h1b.asp or http://www.canadavisa.com/strategic-recruitment-stream-h1b-visa.html

    I guess the US loss is Canada's gain!

  6. Re:ABOLISH THE H1B PROGRAM by Bobzibub · · Score: 1 · on H-1B Foes Challenge Bush Administration In Court

    H1-b people are good enough for other countries to try to "poach" them.
