H1B application fees now cost $100k

Where do you see that Democrats what to expand H1B?

I don't see this as political at all. It's more an issue that people would view based on location, job type, job status and exposure to the people who exploit H1Bs.

I can imagine that there are Republicans in flyover states with no tech jobs that are completely oblivious to the problem as there is no competition to their local car salesman job or insurance job or similar.

Not sure about doctors. That issue should have its own thread.

And yet it is the democrats that expand immigration which allows companies to stomp on workers , and they wonder why they lose Elections . Focus on US workers first and never lose.

1.Biden refuses to mandate e-verify. there is no reason to require corporations to hire US workers. - https://www.governing.com/work/e-verify-creates-loophole-for-undocumented-workers-employers.html

2.Biden helps US companies replace US workers with cheap foreign labor by expanding H1B - https://www.axios.com/2022/01/12/h1b-visa-approval-rate-tech-biden-immigration

3.Biden expanded OPT to new job categories, this helps companies replace US workers with cheap foreign indentured servants - https://www.fragomen.com/insights/united-states-white-house-announces-expansion-of-stem-opt-program-and-other-initiatives-to-attract-stem-talent.html

F1 - Legal system requires F-1 students to remain with employer for approximately 7-12 years

4.Biden proposes to create brand new W-1 visa with unlimited Green Cards, because we mythically don't have enough workers in the US, we devalued a master with H1B, and now we will devalue PhDs with W-1 visas - https://www.forbes.com/sites/stuartanderson/2022/01/27/house-adds-game-changing-visas-for-immigrant-startups-and-phds/?sh=500faa1810be

There was never a shortage of American architecture grads. It was obvious they were there to work longer hours and not jump ship for higher pay or better benefits. At the same time they were also farming out some discrete tasks to Eastern Europe or South America. I’m not sure there’s any way to avoid the transition to a global economy but workers rights have to be fought for as always. I didn’t vote for trump but appreciate that he’s at least trying novel ways to avoid eroding worker benefits entirely.

Architect here too and observed the same over the years. The firm of a Pei Cobb Freed is an example of an Indian in the high level packing the firm with mostly Indians. It's historic profile has very much changed. These people are no more talented than any other American arch. school graduate.

Techbros like Elon and Vivek are the ones who want to expand H1Bs.

#1 is a blatant lie. The GOP has zero interest in E-verify. All those MAGA farmers would lose their workforce overnight.
You’re just parroting MAGA lies.

And Trump wants to issue visas to 600,000 Chinese students. What’s the matter, MAGAs? You’re not bright enough?

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.

Stay in your country and improve it!! We don't need you here. We were born here and can be mediocre or even worse and still need a country that works for us. Life doesn't have to be about competition - keep that in your over populated country

My friend”s son got a degree from that school. Unemployed for 2 years.

My kids have graduated from State Universities without student debt, majored in in-demand STEM degrees, done prestigious internships and have made sure that they have the professional credentials and are gainfully employed. A 5% unemployment rate means that 95% of students will get jobs. So only losers will not get jobs here.

You sound like as As”””le. Our kids are doing equally well, if not much better than yours but we don’t judge others children. Calling any child a loser reflects poorly on our character as a parent. Sad

Whatever, loser parent of loser children!

Go back

Nope. America is for sale. Chinese, Billionaires, Saudis, Elon Musk, GOP leaders are already buying it. So, why not rich citizens like me? You go back to whichever poor European country you and your illiterate criminal ancestors came from.

America is for rich and college educated who can get jobs and generate wealth. Not for broke-ass deplorables, who cannot afford to live in America. Send your jobless kids to Somalia, Ukraine, Pakistan, Middle East to fight wars - because then they will be employed.

You got it wrong. My ancestors BUILT this country that you want to destroy so badly. I have my family's values and work ethic. Why don't you go home and make your country better. My family came here escaping religious persecution, like most of the founding fathers. We were not rich but built an amazing country that NOW economic migrants want to destroy. We don't need you.

This is why I hate Democrats for pushing people towards Trump. I was a liberal democrat and voted for Democrats holding my nose, yet when I take the most middle of the road position on any topic, I would be labelled a racist, MAGA, etc.

Democrats are the ones who pushed the country towards Trump. Many are pissed off and voted for him.

Trump destroyed 32000 private sector jobs last month, and 45000 private sector jobs the month before. H1B is a drop in the bucket compared to the Trump Recession, created by his hamfisted immigration enforcement and the Trump Tariffs ruining value added manufactures and distributors and retail sellers.

And PP wants talented people to stay away so unskilled Americans can scratch in the dirt for grubs but not feel embarrassed by talented people from around the world giving America research, development, and production to make the whole nation wealthier.

Immigrants built this country and continue to do so. You are a lazy lout resting in their laurels.
