Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

H1b abuse done by companies Tech Exec's. The h1b's go usually to indians
and chinese workers. There are some contracting companies that build a pipeline to funnel in workers to the United States, to do some tasks for the companies, who knows how long and what happens at end, maybe they are shipped back to their country following. I heard that within 5 days of opening the visas, the contracting companies have mass commercialized these visa's so they are accepted that fast.

I work at one place where this H1B was asking his boss to apply for a long term visa for him and the boss would not get it for him, and kept pretending to forget to do it. Then the boss intentially missed the deadline. The thing that they are getting over these people are control. So these people really cannot quit the company they are at as it is impossible for them, they are treated basically like slaves. If the H1B get fired then they are deported.

I feel like my manager at wells was trying to do this to me for some reason, treat me that way too, but thing is I am an American Citizen.

So the Tech Execs will go with whichever political party allows immigration in mass, and in recent years this has been the liberals allowing this.

Why would American kids get STEM degrees when they can’t get a job because the companies would rather hire foreign workers instead? Don’t cry for corporations because the H1B visas were cut. They did this to themselves by their actions the last 20 years which steered our people away from STEM careers.

I'd agree that they're not exactly slave labor.

When we started outsourcing years ago, I spent a couple of months in India and those folks were working hard to get a better life for themselves and their families. At the same time, I don't know many people who have kids getting STEM degrees here in the US. The government can try to stop the people being bought in on H1B visas but we're still employing them off shore. All we do is stop them spending the money they earn in our economy on housing, cars, supermarkets, restaurants etc.

Something needs to be done but maybe something a little more thoughtful rather than just reacting without thinking though the bigger picture.

As a banker, I opened accounts for people with H1B visas that worked for big tech companies.
Their declared income was never below 6 figures. IMHO, that is a far cry from "slave labor".
