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.

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

It's almost like ^PP thinks their ancestors built this country all by themselves and were special but not today's immigrants.

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

What part of the goverment shut down do you not understand?

Senate , House, and Presidency owned by Republcians
Economies accross the US the worst ten bottom economies owned by Republcians

Biden is not President.
Biden had low unemployement.

Unemployment growing like weeds under trump fools!

If you think that POS who has over 100 companies that he started and bankrupted and hurt hard working Americans in the process ie never paid one contractor who has done work for him is qualified to breathe the air of the US you are Anti American to your core!

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

You don't need to be bright to not want your country and culture to change. Not everything is about intelligence and competition. I know that might be difficult for you to understand.

Here is one proposal from Senator Cotton, a republican.

https://www.cotton.senate.gov/news/press-releases/cotton-introduces-bill-to-close-h-1b-visa-loopholes-in-academia

post link to any democrat , anywhere, that has proposed to limit immigration.

i will wait.

I'm a Democrat who wants to limit immigration. We exist - most of us have just been silenced by our own party.

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.

You’re a MAGA parrot pretending to be a Democrat. So transparent.

LOL Enjoy the next 4 years! I am just happy with what you must be going through now. Loving it.

We all come from the African rift Valley and we're immigrants at some point. My ancestors set up the government that provides the framework to what america has become. You can do the same in your own country.

Immigrants, as a general category, settled and developed all of the Americas.
However, we have to consider the different outcomes of these settlements and eventually countries.
The colonists of North America were mostly Protestants from northern europe. The colonists of South America were mostly Catholics from Spain.
Here's my point - the colonists of the Philippines were also Catholics from Spain. South America and the Philippines aren't exactly known for being well governed, rule abiding and the values of their people don't seem to prioritize investing in their human capital.

Not all immigrant groups share the same cultural values and characteristics. The immigrants who colonized and developed North America were significantly different from those of South America.

Whoa, you're missing some significant confounding factors. The English colonists of North America killed, dispossessed, and drove into reservations most of the Native populations of this country. Also, imagine leaving Black people out of your narrative of historically "investing in your human capital."

Would also like to mention that the US colonized the Philippines in the early 20th century and repressed independence movements there. Then the Japanese occupied them during WWII. The Philippines have only been independent for about 50 years. But sure, it's that Iberian Catholic decadence to blame.

There is too much abuse of the H1b visa and related visas. Companies cut costs by hiring third world workers and Americans get laid off. It's been happening for 25 years and it's time to put a stop to it.

It’s heartbreaking—more American software engineers are being displaced and ending up homeless.

Here is one video proof.

[Anonymous]

Read this twice.

A worker wins an H-1B lottery, gets no job, and now faces “consultancies” offering him a visa placement for 30% of his salary.

This is the system Silicon Valley says we can’t live without.

Exploitation….rebranded as innovation.

[Anonymous]

If you want to discourage American students from studying science and tech.

You replace them with foreign OPT students that are exempt from payroll taxes, accept lower wages, and are easy to exploit.

OPT is H-1B. Same game, different name.

We allow rich corporations to replace our own children with cheap temporary foreign labor.

Let them eat cake

Federal gov makes it cheaper to hire F1s and OPTs than US citizens. Also employees are effectively slaves to one company

About 15.3 percent subsidy. It is a disgrace.

Note carefully that OPT did not arise out of legislation. Instead, the executive branch, many years ago, devised it on their own, declaring a post-graduation internship to be part of being a student. The original duration was one year, but was increased to 29 months by George W. Bush and then 36 months by Obama. the idea that someone graduating with a Master’s degree then needs a 3-year “internship” is preposterous.

We take jobs from our own students and give them to foreign students to increase the wealth of elites.

My daughter an engineering major - who has a signed job offer upon graduation - just went to the Society of Women Engineers conference. All 14 international students with her cannot even find OPT - maybe the tides are changing?

Skeptical on this. What is the source? H1B requires a Bachelor's degree or higher. Many of these jobs don't require that.
