IEEE-USA Criticizes Failure To Reform The H-!B Program (ieee.org)

Slashdot reader Tekla Perry writes: IEEE USA says H-1B visas are a tool used to avoid paying U.S. wages. "For every visa used by Google to hire a talented non-American for $126,000, ten Americans are replaced by outsourcing companies paying their H-1B workers $65,000," says the current IEEE USA president, writing with the past president and president-elect. The outsourcing companies, Infosys, Cognizant, Wipro, and Tata Consultancy in 2014 "used 21,695 visas, or more than 25 percent of all private-sector H-1B visas used that year. Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and Uber, for comparison, used only 1,763 visas, or 2 percent," they say.
On Friday, IEEE-USA also issued a new criticism about the lack of progress in reforming the H-1B program, saying "At least 50,000 Americans will lose their jobs this year because the president has yet to fulfill the promise he made to millions who voted for him."

Why are you describing Obama?

[sethstorm]

Because he's an incompetent, narcissistic clown who clearly has idea NO how the government works?

That's Obama for you.

Because he's an insecure, delusional jackass who's filled his cabinet with crooked, deceptive people who have no real-world experience in the posts they've been awarded?

From Valerie Jarrett to Hillary Clinton, that's Obama again.

Or maybe, just maybe, because he just willing to say whatever it took to whip his gullible followers into a frenzy and he never had the slightest intention of doing most if not all of the things he claimed he would do?

He's busy claiming credit for stuff he hasn't done, why should he make good on any of his promises? I mean, that shit takes work.

Obama, yet again as demonstrated in his jobless recovery, wiretapping Trump out of fear, and enabling black racists to riot.

After all, this is the guy who said, "Nobody knew that health care could be so complicated". Nobody knew? Really?

That's Obama's doing.
