Trump Gives Displaced IT Workers Attention, and He's Not Alone (computerworld.com)
dcblogs writes: The H-1B visa issue is getting more attention than it has ever received before. Donald Trump has invited laid-off Disney workers to speak at his rallies, and has posed in photos with them. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), held a press conference this week to complain that visa workers are being hired instead of U.S. workers. Legislation to reform the visa program has been introduced, and discrimination complaints are being filed with federal agencies and in the courts. But these efforts may have little impact. If visa restrictions arrive, IT services firms may increase reliance on web-based "knowledge transfer" to avoid having visa workers at an employer's site. There have also been reports of U.S. workers traveling overseas to train replacements on foreign soil. [Even with all the political and legal efforts,] there's no certainty any action will derail the forces moving IT jobs overseas.
This is racist and sexist. I dont know how yet, I'll wait for Huff po. to tell me how, but rest assured it is somehow.

If a computer need to be re-image, the user will have to FedEx the computer to India, wait three months for the computer to return, and find their PST file missing from Outlook. That should save a lot of money.
I wonder what all those currently hysterical people screaming about Trump being a Nazi and how all of tech is a sexist, bigoted, cesspit of male nerd privilege will do if Trump is actually elected on the back of the massive surge of US voter discontentment?
My guess is that the Hipsters will have their beards shaved off within 8 months and the 3 piece suit (and Trumplocked hair) will make a comeback likes it's nineteen-eighty-yuppie all over again. A word to the wise gentlement, the geeks, techies, and especially the gamers to have been on the receiving end of your bullshit all have memories like fucking elephants, so don't expect a medal for a change of heart.
If Hillary becomes president, I think our next election will end up being between Hilter and Mao.
Which is exactly what Trump is: a man who can get EVIL AND/OR STUPID things done.
FTFY
Which is exactly what Trump is: a man who can get things done for himself.
FIFY
Laws are rules for the court, but merely a bottom bar to hit for life. Think beyond laws in your actions always.
Trump hates women.
Because if he didn't hate women, he wouldn't be running against Hillary. Anyone who doesn't like Hillary and her entirely Republican platform of big oil, big banks and big pharma is basically a wife beater and a rapist.
Please get with the program.
ps: If you don't like illegal immigration, you're a racist. HuffPost told me so.
Yeah I'm not sure what that kook is thinking asking for Trump's "Platform". Trump has TERRIFIC platform positions and they're defined from THE BEST WORDS Wharton has to offer ;)
It makes just as much sense as women saying they are going to vote for Hillary because she has a vagina.
That makes those women sexiest, but they will never admit it.
Personally I find women with vaginas to be the sexiest, that's true.
