H-1B increase could discourage American college graduates

Back


High skilled jobs are at stake with the Grand Immigration Compromise currently in the senate. The bill favors corporations and not American Citizens by exploding the H-1B cap to 180,000. US Universities graduate 300,000 students per year in computer, information science, math and engineering. Yet average yearly job creation is only projected to be 120,000. There is NO American engineer shortage. The truth is that corporations want to depress wages.

Ben Wang, director of Florida State's High-Performance Materials Institute, has been leading the effort to develop buckypaper. His work is *** based on *** earlier work by *** Robert Curl Jr. and Richard E. Smalley ***, Rice researchers and Nobel Prize winners, who discovered that nanotubes would stick together when dispersed in a suspension and then passed filter through a fine mesh to yield a film. This film would be refined to become buckypaper.

"Nobel physics prize goes to 2 Japanese, 1 American

Two Japanese scientists and an American won the 2008 Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for theoretical advances that help explain the behavior of the smallest particles of matter. "

10 years of guest workers sure have been good for the U.S. economy.

Bloomberg reported today:

"The number of Silicon Valley jobs was down 8,200 in August from this year's high point. Unemployment hadn't rebounded to its highs of this decade after more than 100,000 jobs were lost from 2000 to 2002, and the region doesn't face Wall Street's risk of losing finance jobs."

So much for Indians "helping the U.S. economy". Funny how before you got here our economy was booming.

Does anyone want to take bets on how many years it will be before Adobe goes belly up with a tandoori at the helm?

Not to mention people like Anil Bhavnani and Lily Tran - who runs the Acrobat project.

Just look at what they did to Sun - it's all Indians and Chinese and their stock is at SEVEN dollars. Apple's is at $170. LOL. This is the result of Tandoori and noodle-shop owners trying to do software.

The best thing as an American that you can do when you are asked to TRAIN your filthy tandoori replacement is to WALK OUT. Drop the whole project in the company's lap and just WALK. No notice, no nothing. Drop it in their laps. LET THEM FLAIL AND LET THEM FAIL. Without your training, their cheap labor is actually a LOSS to them. Make them laying you off COST them money and this will stop REAL quick.

Where is the Indian OS?

Personally, even though I am no American, I know that they are one of the most talented and smartest people in the world, and that includes It, Science and Math. The average American certainly doesn't need you, maybe greedy corporate guys like Bill Gates do so that he can get cheap workers and make the max profit. Thanks.

From CIO Magazine

"Daniel Soong, who lost his programming job to Indian offshore companies, is willing to relocate to India. But Indian officials have told him they don't hire Americans.

"It would be really interesting to work in Bangalore," he says. "But I was told, 'Daniel, it is against the law for you to work here. You can come here on vacation, but you can't work here."
