H-1B Visas are Destroying the American Middle Class... Starting to look like the Great Replacement really was an obiden regime priority.
- Thread starter WVU82

I don't mind the visa thing as long as it's not being used as a tax break or cheaper labor .
I will say as a welder I have seen a steep decline in engineering. Now I don't know if it's a intelligence thing or a greed thing .
It is a people problem. We are a top 5 engineering company in the country. We offer probably the best benefit program, a competitive wage and are 100% Employee owned with no public ownership pressure and we have a hard time finding people to fill jobs. If we hire good talent they will leave at the first sniff of a little more money even of the company they want to join is objectively a bad fit for them.
Some of the projects we team up with other companies and the work I see coming in from some is shocking.
Yea, there is a massive shortage of Mechanical, Hardware, System, Software, Electrical, and Aero engineers.
We’re running a constant 25-30% shortfall of what we need.
Here is my 2 cents:
My daughter had a 30+ ACT score, straight A's, involved in varsity sports, etc. When she went to college to major in engineering, she got some scholarships, but not enough to cover everything. But foreign students came in and got 100% tuition/Room and board. F**k that. Now she's gotten opportunities to have internships, which has been great and a foot in the door. But my point is that there are 1,000's of born-and-bred Americans just like her that are having to pay their way through, while foreigners get a free ride. That is an unfair system.
A lot of the foreigners at WVU get their college paid for by their home country. I am sure there are a ton of issues in academia but I can only speak to my field and what we see. There are more jobs than applicants. We try to hire the best and so do all the other top firms. Getting them is hard. Keeping them is hard. Sometimes there is an advantage to a immigrant because you sponsor them and they are locked into you for a few years. It's not like we underpay or abuse them. We teach them and typically they work very hard to get ahead.
The international students aren’t getting scholarships, they’re paying way above rate and it’s done by their home nation or benefactors.
This also plays when you have multinational corporations and companies planning to invest businesses opportunities into other countries. Jesus, in some of those, you have to work offsets meaning if my contract is going to be worth $100M, then I have to show $100M worth of value into that country. It could be through a variety of strategies, but it’s a real thing.
The international kids from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia come here. Countries pay their tuition up front. Countries pay a full year lease up front. Landlords love it because they get a full year paid and don't have to deal with collecting rent.
If I were you, I’d conduct some research first. The US has scholarship programs for foreigners. Look it up. It happens. Meaning one less American kid getting their education paid for in favor of a foreigner.
I don’t doubt it. It’d be part of those US foreign AID stuff the State Dept. pushes.
The narrative of a shortage is false, except during covid lockdown. This more represents the truth.

They're stealing American excellence by not hiring Americans.
These same foreigners only have their jobs in the United States because of American excellence.
If America wasn't excellent, then why are they here?
The time for Americans to reevaluate our foreign programs is now. These ungrateful Anti American foreign workers and foreign business owners who only hire foreigners need a reality check on why they're so successful.
If our government wasn't so corrupt, Americans would carry the tax breaks, not the foreigners.
If our government representatives really worked for the people who elected them, Americans would carry the tax breaks.
If our government wasn't so corrupt, they not only would promote American workers. They would protect American jobs for future generations of Americans.
The American workers are being throttled similar to conservatives on social media.
They have to limit us and our opportunities just to even up the field so foreigners can compete with Americans, not the other way around.
Foreigners provide greedy business owners with cheap labor. Americans have much higher standards meaning the American worker has more value and Americans won't tolerate the substandards and submissiveness greedy business owners who use the visa programs expect.
