H-1B visas need to go the way of the dodo. Let these companies die if they hate American workers so much.

H-1B still needs to die, but they could just as easily open an office in Mumbai or Bangalore to accomplish the same thing.

These companies have so much turnover they wouldn't even have to lay people off really. As people leave, hire their replacement overseas. That's how a place I used to work moved their SQA team overseas. Opened a Bangalore office to "supplement, not replace" the SQA team. Then as the US engineers left they grew the size of the "supplemental" engineers until all that was left in the US was a "Lead SQA Engineer" (who was often an H1B Indian) who simply acted as a liaison between the Bangalore office and the other US-based Engineering departments.

Yeah, it's a dual problem. You need to stop them from offshoring jobs and hiring foreigners. If they don't like it they can sell their shit in the markets they hire from.

They cannot. There are limits to the size of employment in India before hitting Indian political/corruption hurdles. They’re all at limit.

I was told immigrants do the jobs Americans won't do.

No, it is actually: "Immigrants do the jobs Americans won't pay for." Which is slightly different.

I'm sure they do. They gotta keep that pipeline flowing. There is a lottery for those things. Corpos get to basically indenture a servant. They love it.

This is why all these companies are in support of open borders, by the way.

This is where the "entry level; 20 years experience required" meme comes from, by the way. They preposterously lowball domestic offers so they can tell Uncle Sam "no one wants to work" and hire pajeets instead.

Speaking of automation, I have a theory that one of the reasons they are letting such an insane number of aliens in now is because the "we need workers!" excuse is going to get overcome by automation. They are trying to destroy White America as much as possible while they can.

They're not referring to the make work jobs for women that we've all seen. They're hiring a bunch of incompetent pajeets for serious roles.

I’ve yet to see an Indian produce positive work output in over 15 years of software development.
