The parent post doesn't dispute that - it's just adding that in addition to the plenty of skilled engineers part there are also a bunch of low skill workers from degree mills coming as well.
- ThrowawayR2 3y agoEven if that was true, that would be absolutely fine. Getting one Jensen Huang, Satya Nadella, Lisa Su, Sundar Pichal, etc. would make absorbing 10,000 or even more low/mediocre skilled workers along with them worthwhile. The technological and economic benefits makes it a no brainer.
- shiftpgdn 3y agoJensen Huang emigrated at the age of 4, Lisa Su at the age of 3, Satya and Sundar both came over as part of college visa programs. I don't see what that has to do with mass importation of low skill workers to hammer down high middle class wages in the US?
- renewiltord 3y agoCan you describe what happens after one graduates after coming here on a "college visa program"?

- muzaffarpur 3y agoThere are hundreds of thousands folks, who came here for college, are still on h1b. They have been in this limbo for 10+ years.
- gourabmi 3y agoThey might have moved here as part of college visa programs but they needed H1B to work and build their skill set. The college visa (F1/ J1) does not come with a work authorization beyond 3 years.
- slt2021 3y ago3 years is a recent thing (from 2008), for Sundar itis likely was 1 year OPT and then H-1B
- slt2021 3y agoElon Musk himself was H-1B at some point. without H-1B america would not have Elon (for better or worse)
