US Senator Blasts Microsoft's H-1B Push As It Lays 18,000 Off Workers
dcblogs (1096431) writes On the floor of U.S. Senate Thursday, Sen. Jeff Sessions delivered a scalding and sarcastic attack on the use of highly skilled foreign workers by U.S. corporations that was heavily aimed at Microsoft, a chief supporter of the practice. Sessions' speech began as a rebuttal to a recent New York Times op-ed column by Microsoft founder Bill Gates, investor Warren Buffett and Sheldon Adelson ... But the senator's attack on "three of our greatest masters of the universe," and "super billionaires," was clearly primed by Microsoft's announcement, also on Thursday, that it was laying off 18,000 employees. "What did we see in the newspaper today?" said Sessions, "News from Microsoft. Was it that they are having to raise wages to try to get enough good, quality engineers to do the work? Are they expanding or are they hiring? No, that is not what the news was, unfortunately. Not at all."
I say we just close our border altogether and stop these migrants from coming here. They are ruining our country and living good on our backs with government housing, food, healthcare and benefits that they would never get in their shithole home countries.
Look at the waves of poor, uneducated Central Americans crashing our borders now. They know we won't have the stones to kick them back home because we have become a nation of pussies. America for Americans please.
Most Americans were native born making them a native american.
Or were you trying the "but your ancesters were immigrants" bit? If thats the case, the American indians are foreigners too which makes your "unless" part silly.
