totally agree with you, bob2007. i think we in the U.S. were so starved for talent, we started poaching other countries’ talents. imagine, our corporations are so desparate to fill jobs that they have to go abroad. why aren’t our schools or our children filling these jobs?
a part of it is we’ve gotten a little lazy. i mean, why toil in a really difficult job like engineering, or any other hard science when you can take it easy? why should we ask our children to become doctors, nurses, scientists and other professions that are severely in need? it’s just too hard! that we’ve gotten lazy is not bush’s fault.
i know a little bit about the h1b visa process and it is hell to go through. Getting someone through the process is not easy. The gov’t has enough bureaucracy in it to make you pull out your hair. Believe me, corporations do not want to go through the h1b visa process, but the other choice is to leave those jobs vacant because there’s nobody else who can fill it.
