And what does the above^^^^have to do with the topic at hand? Answer: Nothing. Or are you attempting to give credit to all the H1-Bs for the creation of those companies? Gimme a break.
The H1-B visa program is no longer needed. That has nothing to do with what you are talking about. Nor does it excuse the fact that the H1-B visa is being used to lay off Americans and replace them with H1-Bs. Nor does it excuse the fact that recent college grads are having a hard time entering IT.
There is nothing to stop other countries from creating "start ups".
Your sarcasm falls flat.
H1B's are not responsible for the creations of all companies, similarly H1B's are not the sole reason for all those layoffs as well. Hope you get the logic
Companies cut costs and resources to remain profitable and employment is at will . (this is fact, not sarcasm)
I love the double standard of the conservatives. They oppose European style healthcare, but need European style job security
Start focusing on your skills rather than complaining on others on forums
IOW, you are incapable of responding to any of my points by using a cogent response. That doesn't speak well of you if all you've got in response is insults and lame attempts at humor.
You know that what I've posted is correct. After all, you can't come up with an articulate rebuttal. You keep telling us all that H1-Bs are geniuses. Yet you can't come up with a reasoned response to what I've posted.
I have to focus on my skills? Now that's rich! LOL!

The US is not the employment agency for the world, much as you wish it to be. It's not unreasonable for Americans to expect to find jobs in their fields. No one should have to compete with visa workers for a job. It's one thing if there is a true shortage in a certain field and Americans in those fields are finding themselves fielding several job offers. However, you know darn well that isn't the case when it comes to IT.
No American should ever be laid off and forced to train their H1-B replacements if they want their severance pay. Period.
How would Indians like it if Americans showed up in India and started taking jobs away from Indians? Will you tell other Indians that they aren't entitled to expect to find jobs in their own country?
The H1-B visa has long since served its purpose. It's time to end this visa program now. Not only are there American IT workers going without jobs but the whole visa program is riddled with corruption and loopholes.
H1B is primarily based on jobs that Americans can't fill.
The IT tech sector is 90% taken over by Indians because USA does not produce enough computer science graduates every year to take on these six figures paying jobs.
And the monopoly of Indians in the computer tech industry has reached a to a point that they don't easily let American graduates get into the IT industry now.

Wrong.
It is used to lay off Americans and replace them with H1-Bs. Those laid off Americans are forced to train their H1-B replacements if they want their severance pay.
It's a myth that the US doesn't produce enough STEM grads:
The only thing you said is true is that Indians who do the hiring blatantly discriminate against non-Indians. See the links I posted previously. (Post #569)

What do you tink about "No American should be ever laid off "? Is it ok to layoff employess and cut cost??
What do you think about companies like IBM, Amazon etc paying 0 taxes for the year?? So is the tax code also filled with loopholes and corruption ?

"Brown losers"? Seriously? What a racist and bigoted thing to write!
It's not okay to lay off employees then replace them with visa workers. It's another thing if a company is struggling and has to cut staff. One thing those who were forced to train their H1-B visa replacements have said was that the company didn't even come to them and ask them to take a pay cut. These workers have said if the company was struggling they would have take pay cuts.
You know darn well that Disney had no need to "cut cost". Yet they still attempted to get rid of their IT workers and replace them with H1-Bs.
We aren't discussing the tax code here. If you want to start a separate thread about that, feel free to do so.
I've told you before---I don't care where in the world H1-Bs come from. They should only be brought in if the employer truly searched high and low for workers. Yet, we all know that doesn't happen. There is one case I read about where an employer ended up hiring an H1-B. The employer needed someone who was fluent in Ukrainian because he did business with Ukraine. While there were Americans who could do the required work, he couldn't find anyone who was fluent in Ukrainian. He admitted that he reluctantly used the visa program.
I'm really astonished that you would post something so vile, bigoted and racist. I hate to say it but it looks like you showed your true colors, sad to say.
