https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=envbbUc4LhU This youtube video interviews the victims of this visa program When will the country realize that this is doing more harm to the average american people? In the video one of the American guy was almost about to cry because he got victimized by this program. Its time to stop now and I hope trump stops this program once he gets elected.
Consulting companies should be banned, rest is fair game imo. Otherwise, you will complain that majority of jobs are going to India. As for Trump, Republican Business lobby is too strong, they won't stop it. Also, are you considering switching to company headed by a US Born citizen. Because Microsoft ain't one.
Why does it matter where he was born? He is an American citizen.
It matters because racists gonna racis.
No problem. More offices in India and more tax revenue to India
That’s an illusion. Our team only delegates manual work to India team. They don’t do high quality work and are paid far less. We are developing AI to replace them.
India is next big market for Amazon now. So please build your AI for nuts if you dont move Tech work to India. It is happening.
Why do Americans deserve jobs more than Indians? The money will do much more good if an Indian earns it and sends some back to their family. Nationalism is racist.
It is entitlement . They are more angry with immigrants who are seeking a better life for themselves and their family than the corporations who employ them
Why do citizens deserve jobs of their country more than foreigners? Are you stupid?
Lets ban cars because they cause deaths
You mean cars from Japan, Germany because GM, Ford can’t beat them in luxury or reliability?
Let's ban Kia. With cheaper prices, they must be undercutting the sales of other cars.
Not condoning what Disney or other such corps did, but this bull shit about “having to train my replacement” is just BS. They would’ve received severance in return for proper hand over. It didn’t hurt when they cashed that severance check, huh?
In the case of Disney, I have firsthand knowledge, training Indian replacements was a condition of receiving severance. A few of the employees did quit instead, but obviously many could not do that. Companies should be honest and ship the work to India, it would solve the H-1b issue. The US should then impose a substantial tax on the work being off-shored. India should be creating its own businesses to employ its citizens.
There is no should or must. Everything is based on money
Americans enjoyed the upside of globalization when they could sell their products to the world, now let others enjoy the upside (even if it is to their detriment).
Americans also did that by enforcing (sometimes militarily, sometimes by using diplomatic pressure) their access to the foreign markets. They toppled democratically elected leaders that tried to restrict American access (Allende in Chile, Mossadegh in Iran), helped separtist movements win (Panama seceded from Colombia). To restrict access to their own (labor) markets now is hypocritical. I have 0 sympathy for Americans losing their jobs to outsourcing. Compete or die is the credo their government has shoved down the world's throat, the rooster has come home to roost now.
Free movements of goods as well as labor is what "free markets" entail. There is no difference between protectionist labor policies (visa restrictions) and protectionist trade policies (import duties etc. ). If a job can be done at a cheaper cost by a foreign national, that just means the job shouldn't be paid more than that. By artificially restricting supply of labor, you're creating a distortion in your beloved free market.
The video is 3 years old. This discussion is moot. There are plenty of safeguards from this happening. Also, there always will be outliers.
And the same arguments by these small group of people have been the same 3 years ago as well. Nothing have changed
Yeah I mean they do keep these people around so there’s something to grind in the news cycle, start some propaganda, add some fire to an already divided country... why would the media want this changed? And these people have tasted the limelight and you think they’re going change? And people like you have this need to blame someone else for your problems, you think you are going change? A big fat finger lickin’ NO!
White liberals would rather leave the South Bay en masse than face the reality that immigrants from south Asia have made this a 3rd world outpost with their lack of education, culture and complete with entitled, ignorant and arrogant youth driving around their daddies car thinking they own the world.
Yeah, because entitled behavior at the expense of daddy's money is a purely non-white trait. It's not like there's an orange man in the white house who fits that bill.
Oh I agree about the orange menace. And in multiple other states I've seen wonderful communities of South Asians that remain distinct yet don't have this attitude of owning the place. I don't see entitled white folks that much here, versus say Manhattan or Chicago. Yet you do feel the rage that locals have for anything foreign to them... imagine if the hundreds of thousands of qualified latinos and african americans in the major cities were aware of how much arbitrage and influence peddling goes on while they work 50-60 hours for 2nd-tier companies.
I did a quick google search about number of h1b and number of tech jobs. H1b(tech, finance, health care, etc) jobs occupy around 5% of these total # of tech jobs. Are h1bs really stealing jobs or all of this BS is just brainwashing propaganda? Correct me if I am wrong here.
People are angry for that 5%.
There should be 0 cases of victimization

If all these corporations are banned from retaining “contractors”, local or foreign, for more than 12 months, this exploitative crap will stop. If they’re going to need them for longer than that, they should bloody hire them and pay a full salary and benefits.
