[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a mix [b]bag. Half of H1B are brilliant and hard working and we are lucky to poach them while other half are just average, desperate and cheap[/b]. We need to make sure we are getting the top half.

We also need to make sure that by ending visas and asking high pay for locals, we aren't pushing jobs overseas. We need to keep jobs here and educate and train locals to handle them at sustainable salaries for both employers and employees. We need to keep embracing top talent from overseas. [/quote]

IME this isn’t really accurate. I don’t see any particular brilliance nor do I see desperate and cheap. It’s mostly average. If students don’t have the right skills coming out of US colleges, we need to fix that and build more pipelines, and we need to ensure higher education isn’t prohibitively expensive.

And I agree, we don’t want to push more overseas but it’s already happening, far beyond the entry level or IT or customer support roles most people think of. And far more than can easily be counted even if your looking for it, bc so many of these workers are off balance sheet, and hidden behind vendor co relationships.

Anyway, rant over. It just scares me that my ‘liberal’ friends think the visa programs are needed and to argue otherwise is somehow MAGA [/quote]
