Shady people should do shady stuff....why would they suddenly become nice after leaving from office?

The real issues are much deeper.

For example, since they aren't treated well and kept in limbo, they tend to form their own group and not mix well with the general populace. This has unintended consequences....like being subject to abuse, lack of trust etc
At least this is what I have learned from studying human psychology.

AFAIK, Love goes much further than hate.

People who are spreading hate towards immigrants are actually part of the problem.
Yeah; it's our fault they won't socialize with us...because we aren't stapling green cards to their first paychecks or their degrees from US universities.


Sure.

I'm far from miserable. I actually enjoy what I do and I like my job.


However, I'm not going to lie about the destruction caused by imported incompetence in IT just to make you feel better.

What do you think?

BigD has been posting about this problem in the Work and Employment forum for YEARS. This is nothing new.

Every situation is different, but I did speak to someone over the weekend who said he finally figured out what was happening in his company. The software that's used when people upload a resume filters resumes (which I knew) and if the parameters for a job state a degree in a specific computer field is needed, resumes of people who have degrees in other fields aren't even getting through to anyone. He said as soon as they discovered what the problem was, they ran ads directing people to apply by emailing their resume directly to the hiring manager and all of a sudden they found plenty of qualified Americans for the job.

^^^^Doesn't surprise me that this occurred. I never did buy into the lie that there aren't enough Americans who want those IT jobs.

As for CF --- Yeah, given the hostility in his posts, I'd say he is a disgruntled H1-B holder.

Some years back, I came across an article that appeared in a tech publication (can't remember which one). In the comments section, a poster wrote how he had been sending his resume all over the place in an effort to find a job and got no responses. Then he tried an experiment. Instead of his own name, he used a fictitious Indian name. The only thing he changed on his resume was instead of saying he served in the US army, he put that he served in the Indian army. Then he sent out the resume to many of the same companies who didn't give him the time of day. Suddenly, with an Indian name on his resume, he was fielding lots of job offers.

I just wish that someone like Sen. Grassley would try such an experiment with a willing job applicant. This problem really needs to be brought to light.
