Charge 33% of yearly salary per year as fee for H1-B visa and use the fee to train American workers. Remove the limit. The market will do the rest.
good idea. should add a flat rate as minimum or else you'll have consulting companies like now.
It should be 33% more than American counterpart plus an additional fee for training and STEM initiatives. Make them pay for the privilege of dipping into the global market. Personally Trump should just triple NASAs budget and create another space race. We produced so many engineers and scientists back then that we were unstoppable. Get us to mars. Dangle the carrot and let the people vote with their feet. That's some ROI for yo ass.
u guys are all so ignorant. the avg American wants to work at Burger King and Mac D. they do not want to slog off at Grad school like the Asian kids. that's our problem
Or they want to drive Uber or Lyft.
Uber/Lyft=too much work for little money, drivers I meet are mostly immigrants as well
People nowadays just read the post title and previous comments so they can comment. They don't even care about the body of the article...
Man this whole immigration politics is getting so old. Boohoo, 60k h1bs a year aren't taking all your precious jerbs. Seriously it's time we find a country with a more mature administration for the next tech innovation hub.
Find and leave ASAP
We will bud, trust me. No one enjoys paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes to a dysfunctional government and still get threatened constantly on visa rules. Also this whole 'taking your jerb' in tech is absurd. I'm a hiring manager and it's freakin hard to find American Talent, we have to resort to hiring H1bs and even those are hard to find. Most companies are now opening and hiring in offshore offices so it's already started. Maybe this country should work harder on getting more American kids interested in STEM degrees or pay their tuition fee rather than using all that money in dropping moabs on dusty fields in the middle east.
get rid of the ICCs that fraud and cheat to make money.
The main problem with the current system is the indentured servitude aspect of being tied to an employer. At the very least, this practice needs to be ended. That alone should reduce the corruption of the system because the wages of immigrants will not be artificially suppressed by their captivity. This will also benefits nonimmigrants because they will not be competing with captive labor. A separate issue is who to allow into the market, and the criteria applied for them to obtain a GC.
Wow, so many fucking morons in this thread. The reason the US is the tech hub it is today is due to immigration.
It helped but not the primary reason.
Not primary reason? Remove immigrant then there is no google or Apple the 2 largest market cap companies on earth. Without these 2 tons of other related companies would never exist in USA. Tesla, spacex, WhatsApp also thanks to immigrants. Remove them and some other country would have benefited significantly
US would have never emerged as a strong economy if we immigrants have not contributed. It's all our hard earned money and taxes. Say thanks to immigrants mr Trump. Last but not least.. immigrants gave you a trophy wife.
It's not about immigrants, h1b is a scam nowadays, don't connect it to the immigration please.
From purely economics approach this means demand << supply --> comp up. But like everything he says, I doubt it'll actually happen b/c all tech giants will lobby hard against it.
push the comp too high and it'll crash. companies will.open offices in immigration friendly countries like Canada
Sure, but the best schools are here.
