Again I never said that H1-B’s didn’t want to stay here and keep an American job. Where are you reading this? I’m starting to get confused with where you’re coming from. I know companies leave the states to hire lower waged workers, but that is a separate issue. I’m speaking about companies who are here now and abusing the system. Please don’t bend my words. Thanks. I think you make a lot of good points. I don’t disagree with anything that you’ve said. I’m really just stating the obvious when I say that they’re coming here for personal success. You don’t see H1-B’s picking up an American flag and waiving it around when they get off the plane.[/quote]
I’m not trying to bend your words. And honestly, I’m not following what you are trying to say. If you are saying that some companies are abusing the H1-B system, yes I agree with that.
If you are saying that it happens most of the time, I would disagree with you on that.
And if you think that somehow H1-B immigrants need to be more patriotic that most people that were born here with U.S. citizenship, that’s where I have we have a disagreement, because I’m interpretting this to mean that you think H1-B’s care less about America than people that were born here care about America. I would argue that many americans don’t really care any more about America than H1-B’s care about America, and the only reason why they really care about being American now is because their job security is under attack (which is an understandable feeling)
For the record, I do feel like when it comes to these layoffs/RIFs, U.S. companies should give preference to U.S. citizens and PR employees, with skillset being equal. And the reason why I strongly feel about this is simply because if you go overseas to companies in Japan and Korea and India, that’s what those companies do or would do… Chinese companies are a little different, because in those companies, they’ll screw over chinese people first, before screwing over americans and foreigners… I’ll never understand Chinese businesses…)
