H1B Visa program has already ruined this country

H1B is supposed to bring in talent from all over the world to help build and grow the USA which is founded on immigration.
without it, the US would probably be filled with american indians and some eskimos only!?

i think if you work hard and prove yourself consistently,
there is no reason you should be afraid of the threat of H1B-visas!

But this is not what the H1B program is used for - it's consistently used to add staff, at lower wages, to prevent wage inflation.

Here is, to me, a very interesting excerpt:

" One rule, which is a perennial issue we raise at the
Foundation, is to reform U.S. immigration laws so that
more high-skilled immigrants can launch businesses in the
United States. Kauffman research shows that immigrants are
disproportionately likely to start a business—indeed, roughly
25 percent of successful high-tech startups over the last
decade were founded or co-founded by immigrants (Figure
4). Highly educated immigrants want to come to the United
States because ours is a nation in which science can flourish
and ingenuity can be rewarded. But today the world’s budding
entrepreneurs have more options when choosing a home—as
India, China, Brazil, and others catch up to the United States in
terms of available capital, labor, and opportunity.
Immigration restrictions that limit the number of highly
skilled people permitted to enter the United States to work or
start a business serve no purpose other than to stifle growth."
 
Sure, now you care.

You mocked the textile workers when their jobs were taken, and happily bought up cheap tshirts made by Bangladeshi child labor.

You scoffed at the UAW and other union schmucks who did a marvelous job holding onto their jobs far longer than anyone could have imagined, and happily scarfed up Toyotas and Hondas and Lexii and Acurii.

But now that it's your neck on the line, now suddenly you "care".




Too. Damn. Late.

And what, exactly, has that environment produced?

Where is the Indian competition to Intel, AMD or NVIDIA?

Where is the Indian OS that can compete with Windows, Linux or BSD?

At the very least, where's a more advanced GUI that builds on the metephore along the lines of failed implementations like BeOS or OS/2?

Where are the telecom protocols from India that would render CDMA, 3G and 4G obsolete?

What about wireless a/b/g/n?

IMHO, from personal experience working with and having managed Indian engineers they all exhibit the same weakness -- the lack of applied creativity to compliment their rote memorization of a given technology.

Japan and China suffer from a predominance of the same.

Technical innovation, for the moment, still is by and large the domain of the U.S.

Given that that is the case, I always thought it was, isn't it odd that the Asians had HD TV 20 years before we did? And I heard they lead in vending machine technology and led in cell phones for a while too (don't know if that's true). And of course the U.S. badly lags the entire industrialized world in high speed rail.
