Reply #60: ok, i see your first point...

but i always see my job as being "given" or "taken" by those who employ me. i am as angry at them as are you.

was some of my anger directed at those who now do what i used to do?

yeah. i'm human.

my point was that there seems to be general agreement here that a job lost to an h1-b visa is an atrocity, but a job lost to someone just walking across the border has something to do with "huddled masses yearning to breathe free." just because it's not your job that is lost, but mine.

you can't have it both ways.

either open the whole thing up, and let everybody from wherever compete for every job here, (unlimited h1-b's, no borders) which i must say sounds like a totally republican/corporation position to take... (to drive wages/salaries down.)

or

stop h1-b's and stop those wandering across the border from being allowed to secure jobs that folks that live here can and will do.



to your point, we should shut down corporations and companies that participate in that. i am on your side.


i seem to be on the outside here. i want americans to benefit from jobs in america.
