If you were born American, with all the privileges that comes with that lottery win, and you STILL can’t compete with people who grew up in war zones, or with food/water/medicine shortages, and who aced their SATs/MCATs/GREs in a SECOND, non-native language, what does that say about you?!
We shouldn’t artificially be propping up mediocrity, while brilliant foreigners go to the rest of the developed world and bring their skills and intellect elsewhere.

They all cheat and are liars..part of the culture of being born in a harsh environmnet. I'm one of them....

They still won’t, if you’re waiting for this to change anything.

If more white kids were pursuing STEM/IS type education or careers, Trump would have stopped this h1bs bs during his LAST term. Better late than never I guess.

Plenty are pursuing them, and many can’t find jobs after graduating college at the moment.

That has much more to do with what this administration has done to STEM funding and adjacent industries, and not the H1B program which has been in place for a long time.

Plenty are more than qualified for QA testers / other junior roles. If only if the hiring managers paid attention to cover their tracks by mixing up the team, this wouldn’t be an issue today.

MAGAs are so easily fooled.
When all is done this H1B EO will have more holes than a sieve.

It’s only an executive order, and one signed by *Trump* at that. It’s not like it has any force of law or anyone will pay it any heed.

Hold on. We can ignore executive orders? If so, why haven’t we done so for decades?

I’m serious. I don’t understand why we make a big deal about them if they have no force of law?

If this is true, why is Microsoft and Amazon consistent ask for more and more H1B visas.

You might as well be MAGA since you are just as gullible as the base. This EO was meant to scare Indian workers and fire up the base. But within 24 hours it was another TACO with the EO walked way back and so many exemptions given that the EO means norhing already.

It's interesting that this issue, along with the fake assassin's note to his boyfriend are two things that both the right and left are united on. See- we can agree!

Agreed- the walk back was very disappointing - but at least it is a start (compared to nothing being done these past decades). I wonder if Trump got an ear full from the tech bros.

Ha ha! No these CS kids won't get meaningful work mainly because they are not great at their work. This work will now get outsourced to another country.

This is a bad policy for US, regardless of if you are a Trump fan or not.
