LMAO...
You stated before your disagreement for Donald Trump increasing the H1B visa program. I’m genuinely curious as to why you disagree . At the hospital I work at, we have doctors that are working here on a visa that are very capable and are helping meet the need for more medical staff.
FACT: Trump with the 2016 promised two primary goals when he ran:
1. Build a wall on the southern border. He built 440 miles on a 2,000 mile border
HE FAILED Not just his fault, for his own Republican Congress did not support him. They did not provide
the funds, and he had to get creative, robbing the military budget to do what he did.
2. End the H1-b Visa Program - DAY ONE -
HE FAILED HUGE - How you ask? 5-6 months in, he met with the tech billionaires, emerged and increased
the number to 1.6 million folksNow, LMAO, I suppose you are not paying attention to the news, or you are insensitive to other industries in America. How can I say this? Simple. Answer this simple question:
HOW MANY DOCTORS, NURSES, ETC IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL HAVE BEEN TERMINATED FROM THEIR JOBS
TO BE REPLACED LARGELY BY FOLKS FROM INDIA? I do not need your response. IT IS ZERO
HOW MANY DOCTORS, NURSES, ETC WERE TERMINATED, BUT BEFORE LEAVING WERE FORCED TO TRAIN THE LOW
COST FOREIGNER TAKING THEIR JOB BEFORE THEY ARE LET GO, BECOMING UNEMPLOYED? Again, no need for a
response. ANSWER: ZERO
I work in that industry. And the last three projects, funded with USA taxpayer dollars, had numbers like the following:
120 folks doing development
10 - 20 USA citizens
100 folks in the USA on H1-b Visas, almost exclusively from India, working at 30-50% of the USA equivalent
for salary, no benefits
20 - 50 folks in one of the three following: India, China, or Ukraine, my guess getting a high salary of around $30,000
I know you have read prior posting by me. The insensitivity of folks is no excuse to understand the rot of what is going on.
Are you aware there are federal laws, prohibiting companies hiring a foreigner to fill a position that can be filled by a USA
citizen or resident in the USA? Yeah, a law that is being conveniently ignored by the pukes that run our federal government,
including Trump when he was POTUS.
That is why, when he said he would end the H1-b Visa Program DAY ONE, it was music to my ears, and to the ears of friends, who being USA citizens have been displaced and replaced by low cost foreigners, almost exclusively from India.
I CONSIDER EXECUTIVES IGNORING THIS LAW ARE COMMITTING A FELONY IN MY MIND. A huge transgression against our own fellow citizens. And I am talking about huge companies, i.e. DISNEY, who fired their tech folks, forcing them to train the people from India to take their jobs. BTW, Disney is owned by Warren Buffett via Berkshire Hathaway!
How would you like to lose your job, and 1 million USA citizens in healthcare in the US, and be replaced by folks from India? That day could be next year. They could fast track a program for 1 million folks to get certified to practice medicine, be nurses, etc if they decided to respond favorably to the hospital lobby for reducing cost.
And if you know anything about the healthcare field, if we have a shortage of physicians or nurses in the USA, that is largely the doing of AMA physicians that intentionally keep the numbers in our own medical schools low. And the AMA does control that.
I have found most people in the healthcare industry know little to nothing about the history of healthcare in the USA. Are you aware that before 1914, homeopathic medicine had just as many medical schools as the AMA type of medicine. Homeopathy was actually the favored form of medicine at that time. And what happened? In 1914, the AMA gained political influence over the US Congress, and they forced homeopathic medicine out of existence. Literally. Now in recent decades, homeopathy is making a come back. I know a number of physicians that are homeopaths, or even AMA physicians that are also homeopathic trained. There is a reason for this.
If we continue to allow the H1-b Visa Program to be used to DISPLACE USA citizens, it is only a matter of time before USA citizens in your industry will be displaced. You could be out on your *ss like 1 million+++ folks in the tech industry. Without the 1 million +++ folks from India taking jobs away from Americans, I could work until I was 100, with having a choice where I can work. But with the H1-b Visa folks displacing those of us in the tech industry, work is hard to find. And it is NOT because of competency levels. Fact is, many of these people from India have lied about their skill set, but once here, and companies pay huge fees to bring them, they have invested so much money, they can't flush the foreigner.
THEY ARE NOT BREAKING THE LAW YET IN HEALTHCARE, LIKE THEY ARE FOR TECH, BUT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME!!!
