I don't know about your other points but I only agree on #1. Manufacturing jobs can be the future of most of H1B jobs if H1B regulations are made any tougher. You design your golf club in computer simulation lab here in CA and then go to China for actual manufacturing. Intel design chips here and then go to China/Taiwan for actual manufacturing. Dell makes their computer design here and then asks China to built it. Apple writes on the back of their iPhone "Designed by Apple in California, Assembled in China" May be someday Microsoft will write, "Windows 12, thought in USA, developed in India" Can you do anything about that?
they already did it was called 'vista' and it was the first operating system where customers of new computers specifically demanded an old operating system because it was such a PIECE OF SHIT cost less per hour to develop, problem is it didnt sell vista is quickly becoming the symbol of the false economics of Indians
Sir James Goldsmith described this in 1994 and concluded: âAll of a sudden, by creating a global marketplace for labor, by creating circumstances where people are making the same product with the same technology for the same capital and the only variant is cost of labor, you are shattering that â shattering the way you share the value added and that means that you are destroying the basis on which weâve been able to create an equilibrium and have a stable society.â âI am entirely for free enterprise. I am for free markets. Iâm not for the destruction of oneâs society.â Here's the video - the first 5-10 minutes are relevant here: http://polytricks.wordpress.com/1994/11/15/goldsmith-rose/
Politicians are well within their purvue to inform American taxpayers of labor shortages in such areas that firms are importing labor to perform, then warn those taxpayers that they must step up and tool up, or risk losing those jobs to foreigners. They have not. They are silent on protecting what is best for Americans. Why? It is contrary and anti-American for politicians to not fulfill their contracted duty of protected the citizens' right to pursue happiness, while bringing in foreigners. When there is work for every willing American, THEN open the doors and turn the spotlight on the Statue of Liberty. UNTIL then, fix America first. Unfortunately, such a solution is too common sensical to be of any use in politics. It is a solution that has been relagated, rather, to concerned citizens who are only allowed to vote once every two years.
I'm not sure about Vista. Most likely you made this thing up. Links please that can prove that it was fully developed in India. FYI. Vista was not a failure but guess too complex for too many people. Many sudden change in UI made it confusing for people who also appreciate "mouse with only one button" and happily sell their gold through "cash4gold pre-paid envelope".
May be you are one of those few lucky Americans who are meant for the job that is usually filled by H1B. But guess there are not many American supply for H1B jobs that is why corporate America is hiring your version of "some so-so, but many just outright WORTHLESS" aliens. Your "American HR" will never take pain to file H1B paperwork if they can find enough local supply to meet their demand.
Sorry, that one doesn't pass. H1Bs work for less money and work more unpaid overtime. At least from what I have witnessed at Microsoft, Novell and Oracle. Maybe it's just those employers...
H1Bs are simply corporate America's slaves. They don't have the balls to demand a real wage, because potential employers wouldn't hire them if they did.
