Not sure how your response relates to my point that the idea (propaganda) that there are not enough US engineering grads is bullshit. 200K salary for engineer? Yes that is extraordinarily high, I pointed out that majority of engineers don’t make anywhere near that. Who thinks that is low? If I made 200K salary, I could afford to buy a house in ANY neighborhood in San Diego.

If you believe that the reason for H1-B’s exist because solely to exploit having cheap labor, then you’ll agree that H1-B staff engineers that pull in $200k/year are “cheap” and stealing job opportunities away from you that you would be able to apply for. Afterall, if that weren’t the case, why would the company being paying an H1-B staff engineer close to $200k if they were really trying to exploit H1-B’s cheaper cost. Is there some H1-B abuse, yes absolutely. Is it rampant everywhere, nope. Are there skill shortages in some skills, absolutely. If you’re an java J2EE developer, is there a skills shortage? Absolutely not.

What’s up with the Patriot rant? Sounds like you’ve been watching to much Fox news. I pointed out that immigrants by and large come here for our money and consumerism, that is an obvious fact. My personal patriotism for the U.S. is irrelevant to this discussion.[/quote]
I never watch fox news… You were the one that went on the rant about
[quote]By the way, of course these immigrants are coming to work here for their own benefit, not for any “love” of US[/quote]
How much of the US do you “love” that isn’t tied to your own benefit? I’m just merely pointing out the hypocrisy of apparently this viewpoint that immigrant seem to need to come here for something “of love this country beyond for personal gain”. How many people here are motivated to do something only for the “love of this country” and not personal gain?
