It's been predicted 50% of jobs are at risk of being done by robots, so surely cheap H1-Bs could do them as well. Are you saying 50% of people need to just 'get better'? Or that you should move your family to Mexico or some other low cost of living country, just so you can survive at a globally competitive wage?
Edit: I also find the attitude that Americans are SO GREAT, only the worst of them should fear being outdone by a foreigner, very arrogant and not based in fact.
- wnevets 10y agoYes. We are not entitled to anything, including being protected from competition of robots and those living in a low cost country.
- ConfuciusSay02 10y agoNo, but we can vote for politicians who promise to reform or do away with the H1B program altogether. Are you suggesting Americans shouldn't vote for their own interests?
- wnevets 10y agoYou can try to delay the inevitable but you can't hide from competition forever, especially if you want to live in a country with capitalism.
- scarface74 10y agoExactly. I may look back and regret this later, but I don't see a circumstance where both my job will be outsourced and my skill set as a senior dev who can communicate architecture and business clearly and has developed soft skills won't give me a competitive advantage over cheap outsourced labor.
- ConfuciusSay02 10y agoIt's not at all inevitable that we have to allow the hiring of mass amounts of immigrants. Why do you think it's inevitable?
