The H-1B program was never wanted or needed. It was created in 1990 based on a faulty NSF study that was never made public and falsely predicted a shortage of engineers. Scientists who testified before Congress tore it apart, and even the NSF admitted it was flawed. Yet heavy business lobbying pushed it through anyway.

Recently had a job opening for a Python programmer in my department. Management solicited resumes from a recruiter. 75% of the resumes were for people who were living in India less than 5 years ago. Only one was from an actual US citizen. And half those resumes from Indians had no Python experience at all. You can't tell me that 75% of Python programmers looking for work in the US are Indian and that less than 5% are US born. This is just flat out racial discrimination at the recruiting level. They're not even trying to hide the replacement agenda anymore.

H1Bs exist based on a study that ignored literally the most basic principles of economics? I wish I could say I'm shocked, or even surprised, but I'm never those things anymore. noshitsherlock.jpg.exe

The Indian spy that was caught recently with highly classified pentagon documents- Ashley Tellis - also played a role in advising the American government about increasing visas to India and expediating H1B

Tellis was instrumental in advising the US Gov about Asia Pacific strategies - including stopping sanctions against India (over nuclear testing ) greater relations with India (over China ) and increasing visa to Indians Tellis maintained strong relations with the Indian gov & was a regular on Indian state tv Now he’s being ousted as a spy (RAW agent ?) Why he wasn’t a red flag before this breach is baffling

The H-1B program has skewed towards tech jobs even though we have skills shortages in many fields. The program is in need of adjustment but is not our immigration problem. The diversity lottery is a more significant issue along the lines of our abused asylum and refugee systems.

There was never a STEM shortage in America. In 1987, Peter House wrote a paper that was never published or peer reviewed that "projected" a shortage of 675k STEM graduated over the next 20 years. His method? "House drew an imaginary line from the record high level of science degrees awarded in 1984-86 (the peak of baby boomers graduating) and calculated the difference between that level" and his projected level, based purely on assumptions about the number of college students and the percentage who would pursue STEM degrees. House's methods were highly criticized by mathematicians and economists as politicized "pseudoscience". The paper was widely circulated within Washington for two purposes: 1. NSF lobbied for additional funding 2. ITAA lobbied for the creation of H-1B visas All these years later, the original paper is still not publicly available. When Rep Howard Wolpe (D, Mich) held hearings about the topic, congressional subpoenas revealed members of NSF corresponding with colleagues in academia and industry who were concerned about rising STEM salaries. That was the reason they chose to create buzz about a STEM "shortage", to justify a labor subsidy via changes to immigration law. @amandalouise416 @EricRWeinstein @chamath

US tech was an American paradise for generations. Now we are going socialist or at best populist as a country because Tech jobs go to foreigners and just hollow out our middle class and culturally fracture us with imports. GDP goes up but wages stagnate or go down

I have to wonder how many young Americans were doubtful about studying STEM seeing how many foreigners corporations were importing to fill their demand, at low wages.

The American education system was going downhill by 90s ..grades were plummeting. I lived through it. School was a joke compared to other countries. Blame all the studies you want....reality is the entitled attitude had already crept in. Video games were taking over, mtv was taking over....junk food was taking over... The dumbing down of the generation had begun. Perfect entry point for immigrants!

We need to end it now. Trumps base is being decimated. They are being laid off from their jobs and replaced by H1B Indians. Silicon Valley is now 75% Indian. What's Trump going to do when his entire basis is employed. The democrats base of Indians will be controlling everything.

Couple decades ago, US & EU GDPs were similar. Now US GDP is about 50% larger due to Tech Majors most benefited by H1-Bs. That said, it’s not perfect - fix it; shutting it down while rest of the world creating similar programs is detrimental to US!!

It was no accident that this false story shows up out of nowhere. Probably it was all part of the plan to replace American workers with cheap labor and they needed to create fear that shortages were in the horizon.

As long as we have a surplus of workers there should be no visas. At all. I remember foreign exchange students in the 80's were also a problem so don't give me the culture exchange motive, either.

Cheaper and more docile labor force, yes. There's also a more sinister reason the Indians were embraced: it coincided with their DEI mandates to basically hire anyone except more White men.
