I have quite a few more years of experience than you, so maybe you should listen.

90% of those H1B visa holders eventually turn that into a green card. Its a back door way to immigrate yourself to the US.

So, you're saying the jobs at your company were given to H1B workers, and not sent to India?

All those are too many. One is too many. American jobs for Americans.

It should be noted Republicans are the ones who send most of the jobs away, or import cheap, foreign labor. Of course, Democrats in DC and in most political office also are slaves to their corporate masters.

If I had the money or the skill-set to leave, I'd be on the next flight to New Zealand and I would NOT look back. the USA is headed for a violent internal war and balkanization, base not on religion but simple ideology. I might not live to see of it but you young folks will probably get to see humanity's extinction moment. Won't be pretty.

Sorry, Dems push the H1B as hard if not harder than Republicans. Check the campaign contributions from Tata an Indian recruiting firm to Hillary Clinton and the senior congress women from CA I think its Feinstein.

Have fun in New Z

I've seen both with my own two eyes. I've also been in a position to make decisions on candidates and was put under extreme pressure to make offers to Indian nationals over equally or better-qualified American candidates.

I don't agree with you here. Conservative ideology is a shrinking platform... Neo-con capitulation will happen long before they can build a critical mass... It will be more like a failed insurgency than a internal war...
