[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WSJ has an article stating that the UK, China, Canada, France and Greece have all set up programs to recruit disaffected American scientists and researchers, both experienced and inexperienced. It should be easier to recruit the newly graduated inexperienced ones because Trump has axed the program that allows international students to stay and work for two years after graduation. [/quote] New grads? Going to compete with merit based stem grads of other countries with gated entrance exams every four years from age 5? Ok. [/quote] I have worked in IT for 30 years. The field is completely saturated with H1 visa holders. Sure, some of them are very good, and hold advanced degrees and challenging-to-get certifications, but there are also a lot of them who are here who aren't all that good, or are doing mundane work that could and should be done by home-grown STEM grads. If you go on reddit there are many tech subreddits in different areas of tech where you'll see the frustration of those home-grown STEM grads sending resume after resume, application after application and not getting anywhere with it - because the job market is saturated. Yet every year we still issue over 400,000 H1 visas. And yet we still have this narrative of "American kids don't want to do STEM and are getting dumb degrees in underwater basket weaving and womens studies" which is bogus considering we're actively discouraging kids from pursuing STEM careers because of the crap going on in tech with foreign workers undercutting our own.[/quote] And how and why is it that we give out 400k+ H1 visas for tech yet only 66k for agriculture, and another 60k or so for construction and hospitality, considering IT is saturated and US STEM grads are having a hard time, while there's SO MUCH more demand for workers in ag/construction/hospitality sector?[/quote]
