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.

You say you are doing research, I gave you the best possible path to go observe for yourself. Why assume what they are “pumping out” when you can go see for yourself? If the student body looked ((ahem)) “american” and then they looked very different at qcom, you can make the argument that qcom is going out of their way to hire H1-Bs. If not, you will realize that the problem is not qcom… the problem is not enough american kids are going thru the engineering schools. Unfortunately, in this great country of yours, you cannot force them to go to an engineering school.
Why do that when you can get into student debt and get a liberal arts degree that is practically useless for many tech employers?
Ever seen an H1-B in liberal arts? You don’t because that “specialty” has a glut of americans…[/quote]
That’s what I thought you were getting at. I never mentioned what I thought an American looked like. I find it funny that you think that. Unless you work for the acceptance department at these schools, don’t assume that because these students aren’t white, that there not American. I just simply think that the program is corrupt(along with others) and wanted to bring it up here. I also said Qcomm and other companies. I do blame any company that goes through the motions of interviewing qualified Americans just to hire someone out of country to pay them less. By the way, so no one gets their panties in a bunch, I know and understand that H1-B’s are compensated well. I’m sure that it’s not as high as skilled workers in their positions would be making had the program not existed. If the companies didn’t benefit financially, then what’s the point. No will ever lead me to believe that we don’t have enough highly intelligient American citizens to pick from.
I tend to also think that Americans are not seeking out meaningless degrees either. I know that some do, but not the majority. I have a very good friend that is a mechanical engineer student at SDSU currently. Most of the students in that department are citizens.
