Technology giant Intel announced it will fire 12,000 skilled U.S.-based professionals — after already swelling its workforce with 14,523 requests in Washington D.C. since 2010 for visas to import foreign professionals through the controversial H-1B and Green Card programs.
Amid the layoffs, Intel is one of the nation’s largest users of the H-1B outsourcing program which allows companies such as Disney and Abbot Laboratories to replace white-collar American professionals with cheaper professionals from India, China, and other countries.
For its part, Intel claims that the H-1B visa program is a good thing for the country and, according to Intel spokesperson Lisa Malloy, “sustains our national competitiveness, drives economic growth, and creates jobs in the process.”
The bastards are selling it out from underneath us.

Do you know how the H1B visa works? It's basically modern day slavery, workers are at the mercy of the company they work for and will threatened to cancel their visa if they piss them off.

If they weren't capable of performing their job they wouldn't get hired. If Americans were doing something irreplaceable they also wouldn't get fired. Americans are disposable and most of them are retarded. I don't for a second buy that the ones getting fired do a better job than their replacement to any significant degree.

Anyone that actually believes Trump will be able to do anything is deluded. At best he's going to do nothing and the worst he could do is horribly damage our relationships with Mexico and China and make imports ridiculously expensive while wasting our money on a wall that cartels will just dig under anyway.

You don't have to register for any of them and even if you're registered for one you don't have to vote for the candidate that is running on that party's platform.
If you're going to bring up the Fox News debate where he said we need to keep high skilled workers he clarified afterwards that he does not consider H-1B "high skilled" and was referring to foreigners who come here, get educated at our top tier universities, and then are forced home because they can't find sponsorship.

Closed primaries are bullshit, they need to be opened federally. It basically gives the political parties the ability to decide who wins, just look at how poorly managed the republican and democratic primaries were/are. I'd much rather see the voting system changed to instant runoff voting so more than two candidates could run per election but even just changing that could make a huge difference.

it's not. read the fucking link. first of all, it's fucking impossible to hire 12000 h1b's in one year by a single company as the total quota for the visa is 65000 per year.

Can't wait for TTIP so can we do the same thing here in the EUSSR. We need all those skilled pajeets and chinks to "compete" with the GDP boogeyman.

ITT: Protectionism supporters (i.e. commies) that don't understand how true capitalism works.
If you forbid Intel and other american companies from hiring cheaper labor you just can't compete long-term with Chinese technology companies.
Can't wait for Trump to win and see the empire fall. Nowadays you americans are just a bunch of spoiled crybabies.
Dylan Rivera
>impossible to hire 12000 h1b's in one year by a single company
you don't hire them with h1b, you take them in while they're still students or on temp visa and apply for H1B after a year or two.
Even if the claims are stuck in processing, you can keep the workers as "pending" H1Bs without affecting your quota.
>entry level >must have 5 years experience >must not have 10 years experience >$9.50
$20.00/hr would have been slightly more believable.
