#1 No problem. Offer them all the tech visas they want at $300,000/year.

#4 The imported labor is a captive group. No labor bargaining power, no job mobility. That's the attraction.

#5 @ #3 - Education system might be o.k., just finding Americans to switch majors from Urban Studies to Computer Science or Electrical Engineering might be the problem.

#7 So.

Slavery is bad.

Your tech "solution" isn't profitable without imported, essentially slaver labor.

All good.

When will Gupta start asking for reparations too?

#8 Big Tech don't trust American education system?

You think the Indian education system is better? I've spent enough time around these people to believe that it is most certainly not. This is not about education. It's about the importation and exploitation of cheap labor. As far as I'm concerned, every last one of these companies can get the hell out of America and set up shop in the third world hell hole of their choice.

#9 #3 The main thing is that they hate actual Americans.

Just look at the CEOs and other execs at many of these firms.

Poor ed. is a pretext at most; never mind that Big Tech overwhelmingly supports the people responsible for that ed.

#10 How can you convince American kids to major in computer science when all these companies prefer the cheaper imports from India?

#11 And Harris is Big Tech's best friend.
Which goes a ways toward explaining how she got the nod.

#12 Every migrant on less than average wage for that area harms the economy.

#13 I'm in favor of everyone who comes on an equal footing. Anything else, I'm against.

#14 Linus Torvalds was nearly blocked by INS because they didn't think he contributed any needed skills. But the thousands of H1-Bs who completed a "certification" course and know nearly nothing outside of it are welcomed in.

Look at the multiple HR-related groups listed -- the practices at HR are part of the problem. A checklist of claimed skills, no, we don't want to train anyone, just let us post jobs asking for 6 years experience in a 3-year-old platform...
