Trump Visa Changes Toughen Hiring of Foreign Programmers
- davidf18 10y agoTech wanted cheap labor and Trump was for fairness which is one reason why tech leadership was against Trump. President Obama could have fixed this years ago, but after all he was big buddies with tech. Check out the photo in this picture of Obama and Zuckerberg who even has an entire organization to drive tech labor costs and hire non-Americans, Fwd.us https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jul/19/revenge-against-elites-americas-wake-up https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jul/19/reveng... Many tech leaders, themselves worth many, many billions of dollars want to deprive Americans that worked hard to go to college and get degrees in engineering and software from getting their appropriate wages. Hilary Clinton also didn't seem too interested in regulating H1-B because the Democratic elites (as well as many Republican elites) are in Tech leadership's pockets. I welcome others to research this if they feel this isn't true and post appropriate links.
- vmarsy 10y agoAlready discussed here [1], I'm very disappointed in this Bloomberg's article, they manage to write more than 500 words of fake news, the only true sentence lies at the end of the article : >“This is not a change in policy on H-1B and H-1B1 eligibility in computer-related fields,” CeCe Gwathmey, a spokeswoman for the immigration agency, said in an email It's literally making sure the Nebraska Service Center guidelines are synced with the California Service Center and Vermont Service Center since NSC hasn't processed H-1B for a while, there was no need to update that 17 year old guideline. CSC and VSC were the only centers processing H-1B No changes, yet Bloomberg claims New H-1B Visa Guidelines Crack Down on Computer Programmer Jobs [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14023413 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14023413
