Evidence That H-1B Holders Don't Replace US Workers

Okian Warrior writes: In response to Donald Trump's allegations that H1B visas drive Americans out of jobs, The Huffington Post points to this study which refutes that claim. From the study: "But the data show that over the last decade, as businesses have requested more H-1Bs, they also expanded jobs for Americans." This seems to fly in the face of reason, consensus opinion, and numerous anecdotal reports. Is this report accurate? Have we been concerned over nothing these past few years? Remember, this is about aggregates, rather than whether some specific job has been replaced.

    They are not far left. They are anti-Republican. Hence, if Republicans start preaching about global warming and nuclear disarmament, guaranteed HuffPo will want to invade Russia and fire up the coal plants.

    It's not about what they want done, it's who they want to lose.

    You know, maybe a cogent argument as to HuffPo's motives and/or possible motivations should have been used

    Why? That's already been done in this thread. If that's all you expect out of it, it's done, and you can stop participating.

    instead of just spewing agitprop and wishful thinking?

    Point to the wishful thinking.
