+100000 It's gotten to a point where people are no longer willing to identify as Republicans or Democrats because those terms have become negative connotations. Sad times. |

Old records show that Trump hires white Eastern European at his resorts over black Americans in FL. |

The problem is a lack of balance.
We have US STEM graduates who want to work in that field, but who are having a hard time finding work, or are undercut on wages by a flood of people from India. Not a single H1-B visa should be issued until every last US STEM grad is employed in STEM. Period. Meanwhile we have other industry sectors like agriculture unable to hire Americans. And the demand has been so great that there are not enough visas being issued which results in an influx of illegal workers. Clearly in that case we DO need to issue more visas. Balance it out, and put appropriate processes in place. Canada has visa holders required to register their place of residence with local authorities. If a visa holder loses their job or doesn't show up, that should be reported by the employer and the visa holder should have a brief grace period to either find another job or return home. With balance the job of ICE would be a lot improved. Instead of trying to boil the ocean, doing random sweeps and so on, instead of dealing with millions, instead of dealing with hard-working people who don't even have a parking ticket to their name, they would be able to be much more focused. |

I agree somewhat, but in general I don't like the approach. A) I kind of agree in the sense that it's frustrating that the individual sectors which aren't particularly politically powerful are targeted. Rare skills are by definition rare. So I agree with that, but... B) I don't think the basic premise of shortages is valid in a large economy. We should be able to cover our bases and get food into our mouths. We already have one of the most productive agricultures sectors the world has ever seen. The problem these "cheap" labor in specific industries causes bubbles. EG the meat packers will say they can't be profitable, because the strawberry farmers have all the cheap labor and all of the capital is going to the cheap labor sectors. |

I think it's interesting the lca have to abide by collective bargaining agreements for setting wages, should people in IT unionize? When do we get to ratify the labor wages. When are they going to ask us what it ought to be? |

You think this thread is about the status quo. Democrats are lunatics. |

The new policy gets its first challenge. Let’s see what happens. Trump Administration Is Sued Over $100,000 H-1B Visa Fee https://apple.news/Aq910dmaRSO-ly4Gwq07SwQ The coalition led by recruitment firm Global Nurse Force is arguing that President Trump didn’t have the power to unilaterally impose a hefty immigration fee without the approval of Congress. It also says that the Trump administration violated the Administrative Procedure Act by acting unreasonably and skipping the normal process for weighing regulatory changes. |

Global Nurse Force looks to be a recruiting company for Indian nurses and its founder seems to have Indian ethnicity. Surprise surprise. Article America shouldn't allow foreign state-sponsored emigration policies allowing middlemen to abuse a faulty visa process. "Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s nationwide call to establish India as the ‘Skill Capital of the world’ finds its most potent expression in healthcare sector. Data from the Indian Nursing Council (INC) shows India produces over 325,000 new nursing graduates annually, a vast human resource ready to be skilled into global health ambassadors." |

Perhaps but there definitely is a nursing shortage in this country, which was exacerbated by Covid. There are a number of nurses in my family and I hear this all the time from them. |

There's a shortage of a lot of professions here but stop importing them. Why are Americans supporting that foreign countries are subsidizing and otherwise supporting emigration mills to export their excess people? We are not getting their most talented. It's the equivalent of America having a policy to encourage their (less intelligent) 3rd and 4th tier college grads to move to another country permanently. Train Americans. Otherwise it just depresses local economirs and the economic imbalance worsens by adding one more unemployed American adult. This leads to one of two outcomes: 1) lowered birth rates because people can’t afford to have kids: or more adults having kids who then live in poverty. Unfortunately, both are happening and this is not sustainable. |

I don't understand why Democrats tolerate this line of reasoning. They all know it's bull. |
