H-1B, offshoring supporters get key Obama Administration posts

//
Ron Hira, an assistant professor of public policy at the Rochester Institute of Technology and author of Outsourcing America, said the Gregg and Farrell picks indicate that Obama "is either ignorant or naive about the real job market for American IT workers. He is doing his level best, with these appointments, to undermine American workers and their livelihoods."

The H-1B visa policy is anti-worker and always has been. Complain LOUDLY to the White House about this appointment.

Look at this very important issue get ignored by the Obama lovers. Not that repubs are any better when it concerns H1Bs but this just goes to show that all politicians including the criminal scumbag in the WH are bought and paid for. 65000 H1Bs a year and they are gong to double that amount coming to take away good paying professional jobs from qualified Americans

Why?

Because corporations led by the homo who owns microsoft want to pay Indians and Chinese slave wages. Im not going to even try to articulate the pain and suffering caused by the practice of bringing H1Bs to this country. Nor am I going to try to explain the criminal fraud and total disregard for our laws practiced by the Indian companies like wipro and infosys. I suggest the folk here go to dice.com and read some of the discussions there to get an understanding. And now obama is on board with these creeps

dispicable

I always fail to understand why it is that you have to look far away places just to find skilled workers just to save a few bucks. They give out more problems than what their worth. Im about giving those jobs to any qualified American unless ofcourse there really is a desperate shortage in a given field but I.T.?? nahhh and whats gonna stop those people from importing what they know elsewhere?

Let me get this straight.

Obama makes appointments. Some assistant professor from a third-tier university, a man who could be a closet Strom Thurmond bordering on lunacy and depression, expresses an opinion that Obama is "doing his level best..to undermine American workers and their livelihoods" and somehow this is supposed to mean that Obama supports the H-1B visa policy? This means that Obama is anti-worker? Obama is trying to undermine American workers?

No. I don't believe this nonsense for one minute.

I am not a supporter of Obama and all democrats.
However i see no controversy in H1B. Isn't is logical- you can find well trained and in many cases better trained foreighner who will be glad to work for less. it's capitalism. Any business owner faces this kind of decision. U interview americans and can't find qualified enough or they ask for unrealistic salary. So, you get a foreighner who has more experience and asking for less. In years he will LEGALLY get a green card, get a citizenship and America will be proud of him. It's is much better program than guest worker plan. H1B is for professionals not for farm workers.
It's a lesson for americans- get your ass to a college, grad school; don't drop out.
It's a real competition. Being american is not a privilege. If you can't compete you'll loose.

OK guys. I am
