    The country is benefiting my taking in skilled labor from the rest of the world. Unless you're a Native American, you really don't have much grounds to criticize foreigners "taking…

    Btw, I'm calling you xenophobic not "it". Unless you want to be an "it".

    Are you going to comment on the isolationism part too? Or do you lack a good argument for it?

    Why do you feel entitled by the basis of your nationality to be hired when someone better and cheaper is available?

    Too bad they're better than you and can work for less.

    Hire the foreign worker obviously. That's just business and economics 101.

    This free market thing isn't really working out. The government should just run everything, make 5 year plans and assign jobs to everyone. Oh wait, but that's communism, nvm then.

    Only looking at the mean does not tell the whole story. Not all companies pay their H1Bs peanuts which is what this article seems to imply. $86K might might not be competitive for …

    As usual, these rants treat "Silicon Valley" as a single entity. http://www.myvisajobs.com/Reports/2016-H1B-Visa-Sponsor.aspx There are some companies that underpay, while other pa…

    Don't forget the TN visa. Those Canadians are stealing American jobs. Really surprised that everyone likes to complain about the H1B/L1 but not the TN visa.

    Not all STEM professionals are equal, which seems to be the assumptions of these arguments.

    Not all PhDs are equal. You're not hiring them to flip burgers at McDonald's

    No. There are plenty of unemployed Canadians. Americans will just steal those jobs and bring down wages.

    Find me a few threads ripping on those Canadians stealing American jobs and driving down American wages. Or perhaps a few threads criticizing the TN visa, because American jobs are…

    I love the blatant racism of HN. Everyone loves to rip on the H1-B, which is predominantly used by Indians, but no one seems to give a shit about the TN visa. Aren't those Canadian…

    This is absurd. Most F1 students pay full tuition in the state and private colleges, whereas Americans are eligible for need base aid. F1 students are effectively subsidizing Ameri…
