H1B visa reform

Mott the Hoople

Mott the Hoople

Sweet Jane
Want to hear a JPP liberal (and only on JPP, Fox News or Breitbart would I be considered a liberal.) say something in support of Donald Trump?

I support him on H1B visa reforms. For years tech firms and other companies relying on skilled technical workers have been exploiting the H1B visa program to undermine the domestic labor market for these skills so they can hire lower paid temporary workers. Not only are they paid around half of what a US employee earns but because they are classified as temps they receive less benefits too.

Tech industries have claimed there are not American workers to fill these jobs and by not hiring them it will lead to more competition from abroad. These two claims are both easily discredited by even just a superficial research of the facts.

Tech firms and other industries wish to change immigration rules to favor the H1B program to further undermine our skilled labor market over our current system of immigration favoring human and family relationships.

Donald Trump vowed to end or radically revise the H1B program and I fully support him on this.

the most difficult thing IMO is HR departments have learned to craft job requirements to make sure there is no one qualified for the jobs.
 
Well you can't be for H-1B's and higher minimum wage! That would be just like being for women's rights and Isla...
Oh.

That's not a difficultly at all. You only need to cross reference similar positions across an industry with median wages being paid for those positions to determine what their actual intent is.

except the HR departments have learned to require contradictory skills and experience levels no one is likely to have.

not true. At one point, as a consultant, I did a job for a fortune 500, yet when they opened up a permanent position to do the exact same job, they suddenly required a college degree and wouldn't even consider me, despite the fact that not only was I doing the very job they wanted to fill, but that I would have to train my replacement......that has nothing to do with cross referencing shit for median wages to determine actual intent.

I'm sorry, that is so unjust.

An article on an Indian immigrant denied an H-1B visa who started his own firm in India and is competing with Amazon. This is the other side of limiting the visas. The best and brightest don't come to our country and end up starting companies and hiring workers elsewhere rather than here.
