[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do we keep hearing the lie that Americans do not want certain jobs? It's a privilege to be born in this country. As such it's silly to expect an American citizen son/daughter of tax paying Americans to wash cars for wages that are so embarrassing to even type.[/quote]
But, MAGA don't want low skilled workers, so they do expect American born to take on those low paying jobs.  MAGA want to allow in highly skilled workers, those people who will compete for high paying jobs with you and your kids.

Corporations have deep pockets, and they will ensure that Trump doesn't turn off that spigot of low paid, high skilled workers.

If there were enough neurosurgeons, engineers and high-level researchers to recruit within the US, no corporation would hire immigrants. Americans don't have the skills!!!!! [/quote]

It really depends on the role. Yes in specialized medicine, sometimes an immigrant is truly your only option -- those people are in extremely high demand and it can take a decade or more to get the training you need to do the job. No wonder there is a shortage. Same with certain engineering specialties where American universities just do not offer these specialties or there aren't enough programs to meet demand (I've heard of this being true in certain specialties of hydraulics engineering for instance where there are African universities that have almost cornered the market on these jobs -- the US has to invest in those technologies if we want our citizens to be able to compete for those jobs).

But a lot of the jobs in banking and finance that are given to H-1B visa recipients? It's a bit of a scam. You don't think the US has enough citizens with econ degrees to fill those jobs? We do. But it's cheaper and easier to hire immigrants from India who have bog standard econ degrees from US universities or foreign universities. This is really not a necessity but the banks sure like it because it keeps the cost of this workforce down and makes it easier for them to fill roles because they get a surplus of applicants.[/quote]

Sure, but no government program of that scale is without waste. Does Medicare fraud happen, sure. But we all know that it's not going anywhere. Investigae the fraud and penalize those those who are committing it.[/quote]

That's nice but not the ethos of the incoming administration. Who also wants to cut Medicare.[/quote]
