on which basis (Score 1)

I work in the silicon valley in a big tech company. I am under H1B, like most of the people in my team... Like in my previous company it is really really hard to find good people: american or not. I'm pretty sure the silicon valley couldn't exist or wouldn't be what it is now without people coming from abroad. As for the salaries... not sure where the guy who wrote the article got the numbers, certainly not at the companies I've been working at. As for the skills... The usa have an history based on immigration ever since its creation. Which generation are you? 2nd, third, ... would you have refused your grand parents on Ellis island?
