The massive importation by the H1 problem created a surplus of IT workers, making it hard for those who are older or had taken some time off to find work in the field.
The restrictions on labor should be identical to the restrictions on capital. If capital can flow freely across borders, labor must be able to as well. Otherwise you don't have capitalism, you have feudalism.
If the cost of labor was normalized then I'd agree since the market would gravitate towards to most competent workers. But, the way it is now it's simply a cost-avoidance strategy that benefits the company while injuring the local economy due to unemployment.
If you close immigration we lose more than we gain. No Steve Jobs / Apple No Barack Obama There are serious contributions made by the talent we attracted to relocate to the united states. Typically the cream of the crop from their respective countries. The Problem is Multinational Corporations that can move operations across borders. They have more rights then citizens and their allegiance is strictly to their shareholders. Maybe we should certify our fictitious business entities as 100% domestically owned and operated and give preference for govt projects.. buy american etc.
First off, Jobs mother was American, ditto Obama. Second, the Apple was largely Wozniak's baby, not Jobs. As for "serious" contributions, start naming them. More often than not, innovative technological breakthroughs are collaborative within a university setting and you can point to any number of nationalities and ethnicities involved in the effort. As far as public companies, who do you think owns the largest block of shares early in the company's life? Second, are you not aware of the fact that corporations already have legal entity status in this country?
The only rational way to normalize worker cost is to open the borders to the same extent that the borders are open to capital flows. If an economy is going to be damaged by labor flows, it will be just as damaged by capital flows (and we can see that in the modern US economy) -- so they should then both be restricted, or both be open. It is baffling to me that we could have watched the Soviet Empire do its slow collapse across the decades and not have learned such a basic lesson.
IMO this is inaccurate. Apple the computer was Wozniak's baby. Apple the Company is strictly Jobs, after the early groundbreaking computers Wozniak was already off in lalaland designing universal remotes (that's not even a joke). Jobs was looking for One Ring to Rule Them All from Day 1.
