A potential hire is not better or more deserving of a job just by virtue of being an American.
Given that the American has more freedom than the typical guest worker (or their home country), that alone is enough justification.
Companies I have been at have lost good talent due to visa snafus and quota and time limits.
There was even better talent that was right in the US. Unfortunately, you weren't willing enough to work with US citizens in good faith.
So stop pretending that H1B visa holders are a threat to some supposed right you have to a job you do not otherwise qualify for.
Then stop with the unrealistic requirements that are designed solely to disqualify US citizens. The citizens are qualified, especially those that are asked to train guest worker replacement, you just have an anti-citizen bias. Your best bet would be to prepare to accept the idea that US citizens are qualified.
The guest worker program has never been about freedom; it has been about making an end-run around the Constitution's provisions prohibiting slavery and indentured servitude.
A decrease in the labor supply (a supply curve shift to the left) will cause a shortage, with an increase in required wages to meet equilibrium. If what you and the guest workers said was correct about shortages, then wages would go up - not down.
An increase in the labor supply (a supply curve shift to the right) will cause a surplus, with a decrease in required wages to meet equilibrium. This is what really is happening, since there is an increase in the labor supply beyond what the equilibrium will support.
Geopolitical interference with developed nations like the United States, such that citizens are purposefully and systematically excluded from selection, is a valid explanation.
I was thinking about buying a Unicomp keyboard for my Apple computer, but after seeing this story, I suspect their site will be slashdotted. I'll probably wait a few weeks before trying to order anything.
If they can get increased sales, so much the better.
That's a model M buckling spring, not a model F capacitive buckling spring. The main difference is that the latter sounds much more like a typewriter - the Model F uses a curved circuit board + thick metal plate versus the Model M's plastic membranes + thin metal plate. Other minor differences are that that my conversion has M13 black keys, trackpoint, and a ANSI-like layout - things that are not present on any Unicomp terminal board.
With that aside, I have that one you just linked as well (the "Affirmative Computing") version. It may be a Unicomp model M, but it still holds up to the same mechanical standards.
Why do you appease individuals of the SJW crowd, namely Chelsea van Valkenberg (you know who she is, but I can't mention that on Fark), by strictly enforcing their narratives, even in the light of truth?
Mandatory testing specifically for university placement is the bigger problem. It forces people to take paths that are unsuitable for them, just because "the test said so". For that, I applaud the person filing the FoI and hope that none of the snark, redaction, or delays gets in the way.
The Abitur is simply a part of a flawed system where a few mandatory test scores divine out the rest of your life. On the other hand, the US system doesn't have these flaws - it allows more people to receive higher levels of education.
Not when law firms like Cohen & Grigsby would rather stack the deck against citizens.
There are plenty of smart US citizens, who hail from many cultures and walks of life, that are qualified for such work. Their only problem is that they're US citizens, which throws your sports terminology out the window.
Guest workers are a problem by their own existence - as they attempt to claim a shortage while creating a larger surplus.
Instead of trying to use Apollo-era designs, how about using something that is designed specifically to fly itself down? The Shuttle and DreamChaser addressed this problem quite well. Piloting a can doesn't work too well when you're going downwards.
When sanity prevails and Shuttle-like designs come back, perhaps space travel will improve. Until then, it's 1960's rehashes all around.
That's disingenuous in the very least - these companies are familiar names in the guest worker "body shop" space - which is the actual use of guest workers.
When guest workers aren't used as an endrun around conventional markets, you might have a point. Until then, it does matter where the person is born.
(Yes there are companies that do nothing but scam the system, but they aren't the big names in TFS.)
So Satyam, Infosys, and the like aren't "big names" in guest worker fraud?
And, besides all that, would you rather compete with the same guy living in the US, with US cost of living, or compete with him with the cost of living of his home country?
Given the rampant fraud, how about none of the above - where the least-qualifiable citizen is put ahead of every international? The large amount of long-term unemployed would be a better and more honest source of labor.
Generally, employers have less rights over the employees, and they are more restricted in what their contracts can stipulate, compared to the US and the UK.
Unfortunately, it is also rife with permatemping and abuse of zero-hour contracts(even if less so than the UK).
If third-party representation were a strict choice of the applicant (where they could take any job without any requirement to be represented by an agency), that might fix things.

If you actually controlled for admissions criteria, which no current ranking system (especially PISA), the US would be much higher.
Economics does not work that way.

Then I believe Topre makes a keyboard that would be more to your liking.

Find a largish Terminal F board, sacrifice a black M13 for its labeled black keycaps, get a unicomp trackstick controller, and then you have this.
I suggest a dictionary and a quick check of the word:

Not going to happen as long as Snowden and his conspirators are fugitives from justice.
No amount of willful lack of understanding of security clearance work, which thrives in Snowden supporters, will change that fact.

SpaceX might as well call themselves "Apollo" given that they've gone back that far.
Large-budget interests within aerospace don't have to worry about corner-cutting in ways that SpaceX might.

Next question?

The evidence against him and his co-conspirators is large enough that some mistake it for a kangaroo court.
Then forget any sensitive work. Tracing it to you will only make it easier to deny a security clearance.
The cars will be glorified Trabants with the same attention to detail. This will continue to mean a lack of uptake without government force.
When American sized (read: large) alternative fueled cars are as affordable as their predecessors, they'll have a chance against regular cars.
