It would be great if the US government provided an expedited Visa program for college-educated foreign nationals who have received a job offer from a company in the US. There is H1B, but that applies to specialty occupations. (I'm not an immigration expert - perhaps this already exists and I don't know about it?) How many people from those countries immigrate to the US or wish to? If they're willing to work, and a co…

Also, why are you complaining about Microsoft, et al? They are dead-set on reducing tech workers' wages through immigration. You should applaud them.

Crummy sonnets do not set public policy. It's tiresome and mystifying that people think they do. Also, why are you complaining about Microsoft, et al? They are dead-set on reducing tech workers' wages through immigration. You should applaud them.
> Paul Auster wrote that "Bartholdi's gigantic effigy was originally intended as a monument to the principles of international republicanism, but 'The New Colossus' reinvented the statue's purpose, turning Liberty into a welcoming mother, a symbol of hope to the outcasts and downtrodden of the world".

I'm not complaining about the companies that can get Visas. I work for one of them. I'm just pointing out a fact that seems to be true.
I hope it's getting clear to everyone that this is not a "union" anymore..
oDesk and similar don't seem to attract what I would consider to be 70% of a country's workforce. Any sense of if they have training / skills?
Where are these people looking for work (online)?

Why does it have to be US? The whole world is shrinking, a centuries-old, artificial line shouldn't be a barrier.

As someone who'd like to drive down the value of my labor down to poverty levels, this is a fantastic idea.
I can see that you've been on HN for a while, but in the future it would be great if you could consider stating your concerns directly. (Unless you're just trying to make a joke, in which case it doesn't make complete sense to me. We're talking about positions that require college education.)
Or do you genuinely believe that allowing a greater level of immigration will have more drawbacks than benefits?

This community really makes me facepalm sometimes. It is the only group that can, while getting free massages, catered meals, free shuttles to/from work, get paid well into the six figures, and enjoys an incredibly high standard of living even by its own country's standards, still make noises as if they're the exploited proletariat that can't make ends meet.
Whatever the effect of skilled immigration - some argue it raises all boats, others argue it suppresses wages, "down to poverty levels" is dishonest hysterics when applied to our industry.
