  1. Lobbyists Behind the Curtain on Judge Rejects H-1B Visa Injunction · · Score: 1

    and the same is true on the Democratic side. Obama has promised more guest workers and CBS noted the only thing Congress did while unemployment numbers grew to the highest levels in 6 years (and growing), was try to pass....more guest worker Visas! The reason is those big money lobbyists. The fact that there is no shortage of workers in these advanced professional areas, the fact that 51% of women are getting forced out of these fields, that age discrimination is almost a guarantee, doesn't bother Politicians because they only pay attention to that big buck elite donor class! Look at McCain. He is completely ignoring the testimony of so many labor economists, policy experts who have shown there is actually more people with highly advanced skills who are Americans than jobs and he literally is trying to use as a campaign slogan a completely debunked, job creation lie. Not only has this claim of importing foreign labor creates jobs been completely refuted by economists repeatedly, the only place this theory has been touted is from the damn corporate lobbyists press kits! It's a pure lie. It's incredible and completely wrong, completely not based in fact, theory or statistics. Does that bother McCain? Hell no, he just keeps claiming these lies that come from one source, the corporate lobbyists pushing for more guest worker Visas to advanced their global corporate controlled migration and arbitrage agenda. I'd say we're in huge trouble due to our Government being bought by special interests.

  2. Written by NASSCOM, Intel and HP! on McCain Releases Technology Platform · · Score: 1

    You missed who wrote his platform! He believes in Fictional Employment Theory, a little known contrived system conceptualized by a lobbyist near you! McCain likes to spew this rot to workers who just lost their jobs. Either McCain has to be one of the best snake oil salesmen of all time or someone has implanted a diode in his head to turn off his brain.

  3. one can flood a labor market on Judge Rejects H-1B Visa Injunction · · Score: 1

    by any means necessary. What we need is an Americans 1st for Jobs in America like every other nation has. China and India are getting massive support and investment for their workers. In the United States the attitude is anyone but an American (especially an older American!) So, you can flood a labor market with a guest worker Visa or a green card, not a problem.

  4. The question is the judge on Judge Rejects H-1B Visa Injunction · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In order for DHS to change the rules, by law there has to be an emergency. There is no emergency. There is no worker shortage, there is no national crisis and there are Americans who need those jobs. The US just lost another 50K jobs in these areas. So, how does a judge get off claiming there is an emergency? Is our government that hateful of US workers? They declare an emergency to make sure US won't get those jobs? Is our government desperate to not hire Americans and will even break laws to avoid hiring Americans in America? Is our government saying no jobs for Americans at all costs?

  5. US tries to get more guest worker Visas on Nearly 50,000 IT Jobs Lost In Past Year · · Score: 3, Interesting

    While we have these damning unemployment statistics, two events have happened. Guest worker Visas said ok by US trade representative. Congress Reacts to Soaring Unemployment by Passing more guest worker Visas. Clearly our government is strongly trying to displace and sell out United States citizen professional workers. Believe it and weep Americans.

    what is supply/demand, rate of return, opportunity cost? I don't think so if you cannot figure it out from what I already said.

    If you do not understand why you validate this fact then I suggest a labor economic course or even a basic macro economic 101 course.

    Just validates what I am saying and this is about jobs, careers, living and by labor economics alone the original post about the US losing a major industry stands true.

  10. you're way below market value on Believe the Occupational Outlook Handbook? · · Score: 1

    that's a starting salary for a very junior BS graduate. That's the point. Python is a scripting language, not exactly the same thing as software architecture and it's a little hot right now, and you are young. So, while you're trying to claim that your experience is the norm, the statistics say something completely different. You might consider the phrase, "There for the Grace of God Go I" and try to stop claiming that Senior engineers magically "suck". They do not "suck" in the least, and their stories are potentially your future. They are telling you some very serious labor issues that are the corporate agenda and you might start paying attention instead of trying to "poo poo" their experiences...for their experiences will not doubt become yours as you get a few grey hairs.

  12. for what $9 bucks an hour? on Believe the Occupational Outlook Handbook? · · Score: 1

    That's pure fiction coming from the dot con era....you cannot code your way out of labor arbitrage or magically change the laws of labor economics. Not when corporations are hell bent on labor arbitraging your job and they really don't care about "good" frankly, they care about cheap. Watch Senator Durbin's video introducing S.1035, which reforms the H-1B Visa program and tell me this guy who got dumped off in favor of two H-1B Visa holders isn't an expert in his field. Of course he is! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8Tsqk6jJoY
