I thought the GOP was against immigration? 200k more techies from India per year?

Hatch bill would dramatically increase H-1B visas | TheHill

How is this suppose to help increases wages?

Unfortunately this bill does nothing to solve the H1B problem in the tech sector. One more check box for the diploma mills in Mumbai to fill out.

It's so disgusting watching the GOP kill off good paying American jobs, all the while they make lots of noise about DACA. Trumpers how does it feel to get played like a fiddle?

Trump could be responsible for importing millions of foreign tech workers!

It wont increase wages. It will however cause more and more Americans to not choose to enter into STEM jobs as the cost of the education won't match up to the suppressed wages due to a oversupply of foreign talent.

Especially at a time when we are so unwelcoming to letting foreigners live here as citizens. Horrible plan.

So much for that campaign promise.

Indians have pretty much taken over the whole IT industry already, and now Trump is importing more.....

Looks like it also allows the family members to work in US once one family member gets his/her foot in the door.

Sounds like the 'bullet of mercy' to the cornered US software engineers.

Bringing in foreigners to take good paying jobs from Americans: aka merit based immigration.

Its just another stupid bill, like the OP 's 1 post. Will get lost in the mountain of bills that remain unacted upon. The reality now is any form of immigration, be it legal or illegal , is dealt with as how they were supposed to be dealt - as per the Law & Fairly.

Hatch, who is the No. 2 ranking senator in the GOP-controlled chamber, was joined by co-sponsors Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) in backing the legislation.

It's like I always say, the only time the Republican establishment and Democrats come together is to **** working Americans in the ***.








Trump has a bill in the house that would dramatically reduce the number of Indian tech workers.

Klobuchar had introduced legislation in January meant to increase the number of "H-1B visas" available to high skilled immigrants. The legislation was meant to try matching the massive demand for them: The government issued 85,000 such three-year visas earlier this month but received 124,000 applications for them.

But you are okay with foreigners dumping products in the US and taking jobs and shutting down entire industries?

All of a sudden liberals want less visas for foreigners? I can't keep track of liberals' flip flops on issues.

Dont get too confused. Many liberals are anti-immigration, we're not some faceless horde that all thinks alike.
