You mean you recruited cheap foreign labor at half the price that you would have had to pay. Americans in STEM jobs should be making twice as much as they made in the 1990s. Yet, we're making exactly the same.I'm pretty sure "Dreamers" are a special class of illegal aliens and were unConstitutionally cleared to steal jobs and benefits from American citizens at their expense.
How exactly does one "steal" a job? Last time I was a recruiter, we had to hire mostly Indians and E.Asians to fill our difficult, high-paying, technical jobs. What jobs are you talking about, exactly? Because we have too many high-paying jobs and not enough qualified Americans to fill them. We don't have enough talent in this country.
Hell, we were even bringing over kids from Spain and Italy because our kids are too fucking dumb to be engineers. So much for the job shortage, lol.
Prices are determined by the market. It MAY be true that the surplus of (barely) qualified Indians has depressed wage increases. I'll give you that much. My company was always looking for good Americans to hire. It's just that 95% of the applicants were Indian and Chinese, so it was a numbers game.
But I promise you, there was never a moment where I was encouraged to hire foreign for the "cheap labor". Not once. I was always encouraged to find Americans first.
