My experience with H1-B Engineers (Score 1)

In my 25 years I've had the chance to experience the broad range of people in this industry. There are benefits to working with people with a broad range of culural differences. It makes the work place more interesting. The issue has never been racist or as much cultural as it has been the issue of the poor handling of these workers by the US Government. Never have I heard so many horror stories than those told by people who feel their hard worked for life style is about to be threatened by being deported back home. Also the inability to change jobs and the overall feeling that they are second class citizen's really impacts on their ability to feel important enough to get promoted. Clean up the H-B process. Either way in or out. But do not keep these fine people paranoid or begging for privilege. On the downside, I have worked with some anti-american imports. One in particular was totally pro-communist china and I was unfortunate enough to work too close to him. He believed in what was being done to Tibet by China, hence I had to start hanging Tibetan prayer flags on my walls.
