If you care about your children and your neighbors children you will help stop the h1b and opt job replacement visas
I expect this Congress to introduce and pass a bill to limit H-1B visas to a small number of critical-need talents. If you do not act, the program will continue to drive Americans out of these fields. |

It’s not just H1B’s it is international students on a visa can stay in the US after graduating from college with an F-1 student visa.
After graduating, F-1 students are eligible to apply for an Optional Practical Training (OPT) permit which allows them to stay and work in the U.S. for one year and extend it for another two years if their field of study is related to science, technology, engineering or math (STEM). There is an incentive to hire these international students because Employers save around 8 percent when they hire foreign students or graduates instead of U.S. workers because they don't have to pay FICA or Medicare taxes under the Optional Practical Training program (OPT). They also can keep salaries artificially low because they know many international students will work at a wage that is higher than they would get in their home countries but much lower than what Americans will accept. |

If you care about your children, you will start disciplining them so that they don't think they are the center of the Universe. You'll start making them read books and build things instead of playing games on their phones. You'll not helicopter their every interaction with authority. Then maybe hiring managers will actually want to hire US born workers rather than foreign workers. |

Because their parents are working, sometimes multiple jobs, and trying to juggle the realities of the world as it is now. I got "how to answer the phone" training because we had a family landline phone (and answering machine) growing up. My kids don't answer my cell phone and we haven't had a landline since before the youngest was born. Different technology, different times. "Home training" is a full-time job. Who is supposed to do that work when both parents need to have paying full-time jobs to make ends meet? Wages have stagnated, cost of living continues to skyrocket, and parenting doesn't pay. Who is supposed to be doing that "home training" labor, and when, and with what time and resources? |

You made a choice to have kids. It's your job to make sure they are prepared for life. That means taking the time to teach them basic life skills even if requires a little extra effort than it used to. Everything you said is true, but that doesn't mean you just...don't prepare your kids for adulthood. |

Screens Brain dead Can’t read or write Terrible at math Can’t pay attention Are uncoachable —- that’s what our hiring managers have said the last two years. Public and private high school grads, all colleges. Try grads who use pen and paper. They can think for themselves. And still do sports in their free time not doomsday scrolling on social media. |

And if they’re not on their damn phones every five mins text or scrolling they’re in Chat SMS on their desktop computers running 10 lame as hell chat threads. We had to fire one for poor quality work, forgetting to do tasks, showing up at internal mtgs unprepared, and losing her company iPhone every four months on hikes or other Bs. |

Should be duplicated in all the education threads so parents know to make them put their phones away 8am-6pm daily and just heck at lunch break. |

Ain’t it funny how China censors all of that (social media garbage) for children and teens but USA does not? |

Most 1960s hippies never amounted to anything and the other half carried the country. Unf the 1960s hippies did infiltrate the universities with their hippie philosophy and helped created the current day mess in the college system and then replicated in the public k-12 system. |

Many states are forbidding phones from 8am until school dismissal, including at high schools. Too little too late, but must be done. |

They also have the 996 program. Work 9am to 9pm six days a week. Don't want that either.
There's a happy medium But you have democrats pushing half the population to work for the other half's life of leisure program. Let's call that the 120 program. One person working for two people and zero profit is allowed - modern day slavery. |
