[quote=dumbrenter]If you really want to educate yourself and not “believe”, you could take a short drive to SDSU or UCSD, park by the engineering school and look at who is there. It will become very clear to you (in less than 15 mins) about the ‘kinds’ of graduates being pumped out of there. They do not look too dissimilar from what you will see when you park yourself by Scranton Rd. Then, hopefully, you will ask yourself the more relevant question: Why are engineering schools not “pumping out” enough americans ?
And if you think that is bad, park yourself by the business schools and watch!
These workers care as much about your country as you care about the country of origin on all parts of the car you buy or the shopping you do.
I have never met one American who refuses to buy avocados from CA because of the abuse and horrible work conditions of the avocado pickers. They are of course “patriotic” and against illegal immigration, but hey, why do you think those things go for $0.99 a piece? Magic?
H1-B is no different.
Hello everyone! I haven’t posted in awhile. I need some educated opinions so that I can open my mind up about the feeling I have towards the broken H1-B visa program. I currently believe that the system is being abused. San Diego is a breeding ground for this program due to the tech jobs that are available. I live in Rancho Bernardo and so do many H1-B visa holders. I find it hard to believe that companies like Qualcomm and others can’t find qualified Americans to fill their positions of need. In SD alone there are two Engineering schools pumping out graduates every year. I also believe that these companies know they can hire immigrants, that come from countries with no worker protections such as overtime pay and scheduled break time, and overwork them and pay them less than an American worker would agree to. I think it’s a shame. Most of theses workers could care less about the United States and are here solely for personal gain. If you disagree with me, please let me know. I’m trying to get different points of view so that I can have a well rounded opinion. With the upcoming Presidential election, this will be a topic that will sway my vote. Thanks for your responses in advance.[/quote][/quote]
What kind of graduates are they pumping out? What are you getting at? I’m assuming that they are pumping out engineers. Am I wrong? We have many problems with immigration. I’m just bringing up one. We can site many examples of abuse and talk about this countries demise till we’re blue in the face. I was recently introduced to the H1-B process and started doing a little research. I saw it as a problem that deserved hearing other peoples opinions on. I chose to bring it up here so that I could speak to highly intelligent educated people. By no means am I saying that this is my only immigration concern. I might be one of the few that is hanging onto the hope that this country can become great again.
It feels like all I’ve heard about over the last few years is how if someone is offended by something, we should immediately change it. Ever heard about teamwork? A little of that and we wouldn’t need to find skilled workers from outside the country. This country is made up of to many individuals. I would love to witness a day before I die where Americans could believe again that this is the best damn country in the world. Whatever happened to leaving history as history, learning from our mistakes but not forgetting them? It took the white house one day to shine a rainbow on the building, but five days to lower a flag for military personnel killed by a crazy brain washed idiot. Rant off.
I really do appreciate everyone’s opinions! I’m sure that if we pieced everything on this post together, we could come up with one hell of an argument. thanks again!
