H1B workers - highly educated skilled technology workers. Their contributions - fill real hi-tech jobs,start new biz(no. of indian and chineese people who start new biz in Calif are growing, providing local jobs + helping the economy.) They pay taxes, social security.
why are these H1B workers here? cause clinton likes foreigners. nope. because every country can produce only x% of skilled workers(intelligent).. the demand for these skilled(intelligent) workers is far far greater than x% in US.
what happens when these skilled experienced guys are sent back?
US companies will slowly but surely get most of their work done offshore. which means less jobs here in US.
why there is hatred of foreigners filling hi-tech jobs and not other jobs?
no one complains when america invites sports atheletes from cuba etc. to give a boost to baseball.. Not every american can be sammy sosa. u have to import to be the best country..at the same time, if u are like Mark Mcgwire, u wouldnt be complaining of losing jobs.
I am an indian H1B holder for the record..
Attitude of some H1B workers i disagree with:
Stop whining.. u knew the temporary status of H1B at the time of arrival here.. if u bought a house and had 10 kids without getting a green card..u are a moron. Every country has right to decide whom to allow to stay.
My solution: For every H1B worker asked by corporations in US, the companies in US should be forced to train 2 americans for same skill. This way, the locals are not ignored, the current job demand is met. Only those immigrants who cant survive(due to political,socio economic reasons) going back to their home country should be given green cards..
