H-1B Visas: U.S. Lawmaker Re-Introduces Bill to Tighten Rules

Isn't the high salary the corporation would have to pay a local worker just a sign of supply and demand in action?

Why do we now want to interfere with the high-demand worker's ability to negotiate a really freaking high salary? Isn't that exactly the thing we want, for people to be able to charge a lot for their rare and unique skills?

I'm not afraid of regulating business, but this just seems laser-focused to screw the American worker, no matter how you cut it. At the end of the day, if a business can't afford to pay the going local rate, then they don't have a viable business model.

1. It's okay to storm another country, cause millions of deaths, but someone takes a job from lazy american and everyone is up in the arms.

2. Not all people that TCS, Infosys et al. bringing here are morons. They have earned bachelors degree in engineering or science, as oppose to Americans going to college for FUCKFEST or muh liberal arts degree.

3. I will disclose an insider secret. Major beneficiaries of H1B are american people and country. By snitching talent from other countries, they are keeping technology on lock down. No other country comes even close when it comes to tech innovation.

4. America's demographics has changed a lot. There are 40% new immigrants in last 30 years. So you are no actually fighting for Americans, but for another immigrant only.

5. Why not pick on Chinese people? Because Asian girls are cute and Asian men are weaboos? Muh, white dicks hungry for asian pussy.

6. If you want to protest, then use fucking brain and protest against H1B for non-stem jobs. Why H1b is given for accountants, business analysts, campaign manager et al? How these non-tech jobs can not be filled by Americans?

Tl;dr- Americans are angry for no reason and will be idiots forever.

Am I not paying taxes just like everyone else ? So should I bow down my head just because I worked in some country ? I worked legally & sincerely and paid taxes. I will stop my aggression if I am given back the extra taxes that I paid which I have no use of being a temporary worker. Also remember that this is not your country. The country belongs to natives, your forefathers were refugees who took over. So there is nothing to be proud of it.

> how hard someone works based on when they come to work, in tech it's who works smartest not hardest is the most valuable.

It was not only "when" they came to work, If you read further, you will know that Americans generally are not ready to fix production bugs or grep log files or even do a maven release, atleast thats what I have seen. They drink coffee and gives all the work to H1Bs. Even they apply for the patents which they make them do using ideas from contractors of CTS, Syntel or TCS and Americans take credit for that. It will be fun if the H1B programme was fully stopped, because those lazy ones will have to start working again rather than free riding on H1B contractors.

If you think you are smart. I challenge you, learn a foreign language(eg:Hindi), goto that country and try to compete with the native workers there, like I did. I learned English, got my Computer Science degree(very cheap) & I am competing with people like you. I will bet a million dollar that you don't have any other skills than being a keyboard warrior.

> It was your decision and you were always free to go and find something better

Well, thats what I did. I didn't sulk & whine, I left US and is in another country which values my skills and not treating me as indentured servant.

I really wish H1B visa system be stopped. The fun will start then, all those lazy ones who free rides and abuses H1B employees will feel the heat, because profit loving American corporates will outsource more jobs than they are doing now.
