"For the past couple of months, a stream of presidential candidates have spent time in Silicon Valley, with four of them speaking at Google headquarters in Mountain View. But Carl Guardino, the CEO of the leadership group, said it's time the candidates stop considering Silicon Valley their "ATM machine" and started making deposits. Clinton received a round of applause when she said she supports increasing the current cap on H1B visas. She advocated relaxing green card restrictions of engineers "so they don't go home." Guardino pointed out that 53 percent of all engineers in Silicon Valley are foreign born and three of 10 new jobs are created by foreign born CEOs." http://www.mercurynews.com/valley/ci_6032709
dont worry, hillary's got a plan to keep kids in tech, after they see their parents sold out "And she laughingly noted that the next generation must get a message that science, engineering and math -- the "stem" studies, a reference to science, technology, engineering and math -- are both fun and hip. "We've got all these reality shows about singing and modeling and hair styling,'' she said. "Let's do some reality shows about innovation. ... Let's have some prizes out there and try to get young people to start thinking that way. "If we could have some really good programming about math students and engineers that would get people excited, and you know, they could walk around in great-looking clothes and be really attractive,'' she said with a laugh. She urged executives to "please think about some series that would give real sex appeal to stem" -- "and let's get it done.''

Ok, I think I get it. She wants more students to study "stem" subject's but then she also wants to increase HB1 visa's, which will tend to keep wages low, which will tend to keep students from pursuing these as a career. Got it!
kids arent avoiding tech because hillary's supressing wages and replacing people with h-1bs, they're avoiding it because it isnt portrayed positivly in a reality TV show Hillary gets that here's another idea 'This is your sad life', a reality tv show where celebrity politicians get exposed for the sold out scum that they are bill went for monica, because he wanted someone less sleazy for a change
I'm so happy that we've had Dick Cheney looking out for the average American for the last eight years.
i've never understood the 'but the republicans arent any better' defense is that your standard? republicans have never made any bones about being the party of big business democrats have always claimed to be the party of working people yet, hillary literally buys private jet fuel with money from an atm bought with american jobs
