[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Damnit I hate when Vance says something I actually agree with. Insanity to still be handing out H1Bs for CS work right now given the layoffs and difficulty of CS majors in finding jobs. Tech firms can do some internal training if they need to bridge skill gaps - just like most other companies do.

Vance: "You see some big tech companies where they'll lay off 9,000 workers, and then they'll apply for a bunch of overseas visas. And I sort of wonder; that doesn't totally make sense to me.“

From article…
“Microsoft is facing mounting scrutiny over its use of the H-1B visa program after announcing a wave of layoffs in July that will impact approximately 9,000 employees globally.

The latest cuts, affecting about 4 percent of the company's total workforce, follow two earlier rounds in May and June, which together eliminated around 8,000 positions. In total, Microsoft has laid off nearly 16,000 employees so far this year, out of its global headcount of 228,000.

In the aftermath of the layoffs, social media posts began circulating on X, formerly Twitter, alleging that Microsoft has submitted applications for more than 6,000 H-1B visas since October, the start of the current fiscal year. While that specific figure has not been independently verified, official data shows that Microsoft filed 9,491 H-1B applications during the previous fiscal year, all of which were approved.”

Why are Democrats so afraid of helping US workers?  Repeal H1B, repeal OPT.  Stop the exploitation of US citizens so that big tech can get richer.

I will add my own experience.

In 80's and 90's I was able to hire African Americans from 2 year schools or community colleges, train them to be testers or developers.  Almost all were successful and were launched into successful careers.

Now I am forced to hire H1Bs from Indian Bodyshops.  We do NOT hire entry level with intent to train.  We hire 15 H1Bs with the intent to fire 33% and keep the other 67% for 2 years and then fire and start over.   It is a way to replace US workers with cheap desperate guest workers.

And the Indian Bodyshops are the most racist firms in America. They have no african americans and few hispanics. And they NEVER recruit from HBCs.  Never.

Add to this the millions of low wage workers allowed in from illegal immigration, that take low wage jobs, and impact African Americans directly.

The single best policy for African American workers is to STOP ALL IMMIGRATION.  Force US Businesses to hire from US citizens.

But for DCUM and Democrats this is heresy.
