Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

Thank you to all those within Intel that called or wrote in asking for the H-1B visa to be changed!

I'm not sure who started this movement within Intel, but it worked. I really did not think that I could make a difference, but I did and we did.

I'm now giving myself a pat on the back for picking up the phone and making a call to my senator. For all those who also reached out to a member of Congress, please also give yourself a pat on the back.

We can make Intel USA Great Again!

Our chips should say 100% designed & manufactured in the USA!

Intel USA!

This scenario was already accounted for and there will be a surprise for anyone that thinks this route was not accounted for. I think any foreigner should give it a try, though they will run straight into a trap.

Many F-1 students change their status to H-1B after graduation, especially after their period of Optional Practical Training (OPT) ends, to continue working in the U.S. No $100K fee for those already in USA like F1 visa students who end up getting most of the H1B, O1, OPT jobs. American jobs are still lost forever to US foreigners.

I agree. I didn't write the bill, but at least its a step in the right direction.

On the basis of his TDS, he's counting on militant judges just doing the opposite for no rational reason...

25% for offshoring is not enough. The delta is of at least 60% cheaper abroad. So the tax needs to be an equalizer and cover the delta.

This exactly. In test, this is precisely what we have been told is happening. Attrition in the US will be backfilled in Asia.

We need to get legislation passed to cement the changes.

Nonsense. The congress has ceded its responsibilities. There are no reasons to create laws.

There is work that still needs to be done. We need to get legislation passed to cement the changes. The following bills have been recently introduced.

America Tech Workforce Act: Eliminate OPT, raise the minimum salary of "skilled worker" from $60,000 to $150,000, Eliminate lottery to highest bidder.

Hire Act: Apply 25% tax on offshoring with proceeds used to train Americans.
