AFL-CIO Proposed Reforms for the H1B Program
Alien54 writes "[I first saw this link over on RFN]. The AFL-CIO has announced a series of proposed reforms for the H1B Program. The proposal is very thorough, and covers eight different problem areas of the H1B laws."
Really, why is our money going to some foreigners? Half of our help desk is outsourced to Banglodoshiewhackieidjits or some such shit and the trans-atlantic line is shit, their grasp of the english laguage is shit and all they do is say, let me pass this to my supervisor and then transfer us back to the States' help desk. No value-add whatsoever. Americans should get to keep American jobs, period.
There's a good chance that anti-H1B ideas will get a lot of momentum nowadays (with our heightened xenophobia). This is great.
I have no problem with foreigners, per se. If someone, who's skilled, wants to come over from Italy and work here, I'm fine with that. What gets to me is the stinking Indians and Chinese that come here and undercut American workers. The people here have invested a massive amount of time and effort in building their credentials, only to have some filthy bastard with bullshit credentials from some foreign shithole massively undercut them on salary.
Instead of letting people in, that we don't want here anyway, we should be encouraging our own people to become well educated and fill the vacancies.
150 years ago, we could use an influx of people. Now, our population is large, and relatively stable. We can manage a stable, sometimes very strong, economy. We have a "national culture". We're the most powerful military force the world has ever seen. It's time to curb immigration, it has served its purpose. Besides, the majority of immigrants now are much lower quality than they were 100 years ago (Irish vs. Pakistani).
Down with Saudi Arabia!!!
Maybe they should insist that these so called H1(B)'s weararm bands while they're at it, in order to shun them better?
We really should make it more difficult for these filthy potential terrorists to get into the land of the free!
Nonsense. We are involved all over the world, but the State refuses to close the southern border.
Do you think I agree with that? The military of today is a result of the military-industrial complex created in the 1950's. We need to ship our army all over the world because it is a foundation of our modern economy but more importantly, if the enter US military was centered in the contintental US, they would unite and start a revolution.
Revolution IS just around the corner. Foreign games will only delay the inevitable.
Then, we can close the southern border. A nation without borders ceases to be a nation.
