Cutting H-1Bs Could Mean More Competition From China and India, Says GoDaddy CEO (cnbc.com)
Silicon Valley companies continue to express their concerns about the restrictions on H-1B visa program. The H-1B visa program -- which enables U.S. companies to hire foreign workers -- has become a political lightning rod but remains essential for American companies to hire the technical talent they need to compete on a global scale, said GoDaddy CEO Blake Irving. From his interview on CNBC: "We do not produce enough technically qualified candidates in this country," he said. "You can't take an 18-month training program and produce a machine-learning scientist." Irving was particularly concerned about overseas competition. The American university system is good at training foreign workers for tech jobs, and it is essential that the U.S. government allows them to stay in the country to fulfill U.S. jobs, he said. Otherwise, we train workers from countries like China and India and then send them back to those countries to set up tech ecosystems that compete with Silicon Valley.
Yes, let's turn the education over to a bunch of science deniers who believe they can create their own scientific facts to dovetail with their Bible thumping reverends.
They've changed the religion into:
The Lord is my Shepherd,
I shall not think.
When we vanquish the Liberals,
Then our souls will not stink.
Remember, Christianity stops at the water's edge, screw the Infidels. Now let's all bow our heads for Jesus.
