That was largely before the US education system went to sh*t.[/quote]
Actually, that was before the tech boom.

I lived in Silicon Valley in the mid 90s.  Companies were desperate for IT workers.  I don't have a CS degree, but the company I worked for was willing to take me on in their IT department (I  segued from Finance).

We had a couple of H1 workers, one of whom was white.  And this person  knew several H1 workers from Europe.

IIT in India is a top STEM university, and they started to churn out IT workers.  Supply met demand, and that's how the US tech industry started importing a lot more H1 workers from India.

Then these folks also got expensive here, so corporations started to offshore the jobs to India.

The IT industry has exploded since the 90s, but now we are in for a correction.  This is where now supply far exceeds the demand.[/quote]

That being the case we clearly need to stop importing IT workers, who are bloating the supply.[/quote]
Sure,  Trump can pullback on the work visas and increase the cost.  He's done the latter, but I think the number of visas are set by Congress, which is controlled by Rs.  I don't see them making a serious move to reduce the number.[/quote]

VIDEO PROOF: H1B candidate Srivalli Avadhanula had her boyfriend feeding answers during interviews. I reported to @satyanadella & HR—response after months: "Investigated… she keeps her job."

They’re ignoring fraud while laying off honest workers. Proxy interviews, fake resumes, bodyshops—this H1B abuse hurts everyone who earns their spot.

How does this address  what I stated above?

The number of visas is controlled by congress, which is currently  controlled  by Rs.  So blame them.[/quote]

Thankfully they are, because Democrats are even now introducing legislation to raise H-1B caps:

Sure, I mean the dude is Indian American and probably is supported by many high tech companies, as is Trump, btw.

But, it's not the Dems espousing "America First" with one side of their mouths, then doing nothing about reducing the size of foreign workers which is within their power to do so.

Clearly, this is a tacit nod of approval to the number of foreign work visas, especially those that Trump uses. Oh, and Trump increased the number of worker visas in the first few months of office in his first term, claiming that you can't find workers to work at his hotels, even though they got hundreds of applications from local American workers.

The job market was better under Biden.  But now it's a mess, with large layoffs.  Rs are in power, not Dems.  So, what are MAGA Rs doing about it?[/quote]

You're talking out both sides of your mouth.  Trump has done plenty to help.  The actions are there.

Biden ran up the inflation numbers, so the fed clamped down on monetary policy.  That's why I can't sell my house, because no one can afford a mortgage.

I just can't vote for a Democrat if they're going to repeatedly trot out raising H-1b caps.  They have a long history of doing so.  They tried to do it under Biden countless times.  Competes ACT etc.
