The H-1B visas are necessary. Indians have technological skills we Americans lack

The problem is our tuition is too high.
When I went to college, it was $100/semester.
Now it is over $10,000/semester.
Inflation does not explain the increase by a factor of 100 in just 40 years.
Inflation is more like a factor of 4 at most.

Then why are engineering schools filled with so many foreigners?

Between 50% and 82% of the full-time graduate students in key technical fields at U.S. universities are international students. Ominously, most of the graduate students are from India and China

Face it. H1B visa holders work cheaper. That's why Musk is all for it.

You sure about that? Maybe they are willing to work for the going rate while many Americans believe they deserve more than that.

Most are recent graduates without experience that have to be trained by their American colleagues, before that American can be fired.

The lobbies of the pay by the hour hotels they own always smell terrible.

What the fuck is that about?

And you frequent these 'pay by the hour' hotels for what particular reason?

If so its against the law

Unfortunately the remedy for cheating is weak

The predominance of Indian software developers and other tech workers is no coincidence. They have shown superiority compared to us Americans in the field of technology. And their math skills are unmatched.

Horseshit.

The corps just don't want to pay US wages.

When I have a problem work my computer or phone and YouTube a solution, it’s always an Indian guy helping.

That's because the corps have outsourced all the call centers.

Plus Americans might demand a salary that is too high. .

Up yours.

Cutting these visas would affect us greatly. In a negative way.

Who is "us", you idiot?

No one needs Indian call centers.

Time to rein in the globalism crap.

We don't need corporations in charge of our national identifies.

This is not my experience. I work with many of these who are long term employees that did not replace any of their American colleagues.

I agree

A change in the H-1B visa policy for highly skilled professionals from India under Trump 2.0 would be "fantastic" for the US as it needs them, American economist Kenneth Rogoff told NDTV at the World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos.

Tesla and SpaceX chief Elon Musk, who works closely with US President Donald Trump, favours H-1B visas while allies in his Republican Party have splintered over the policy.
