[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A big MAGA talking point is that foreigners are taking US jobs. It's true - you try getting a job in the Silicon Valley. That is where I'm from, my family lived there until recently but it is literally impossible to compete with H1B visa holders - and now their kids and friends. Even in areas that you don't need tech skills - like marketing - you can't compete. And then competing with foreign students to get into college - there are less spaces for Americans, so there is less opportunity for them and it's a downward spiral.

The universities don't need billions saved in endowments. They can afford to not take foreign money from students. [/quote]
Sounds like you want a form of socialism where the government  dictates how private organizations  are run.

Fwiw  I also used to work in the Bay Area.  I'm  also an American.[/quote]

It’s absolutely true that foreigners with H1Bs visas have taken over the tech industry in this country. Everyone who works in tech knows this.

Once one Indian gets into a company it soon becomes overtaken by them, they are hiring Indians only.[/quote]

This!!!!

I never thought I'd be one to-day- get them out!! They are literally taking American jobs - mine and my husband's. DH and I are both citizens - H1B folks aren't![/quote]

Yes, we should pay less qualified Americans way more to do the same job because that's the patriotic thing to do. :roll:  :roll:  :roll: [/quote]

I'm actually equally qualified, unless you mean a penis is part of the qualification.  And yes we should employ qualified AMERICANS here, rather than foreigners.[/quote]

No, I don't think that. Do you think a penis is a disqualifying attribute? We should employ the best in the field regardless of where they come from. It's probably hard to admit that someone was better at your job, but such is life. [/quote]

It may h e been the original intent but the idea that today the typical H1B is “the best of the best” is laughable. They are typical; solid B players is the norm.[/quote]
