Why does tech need so many foreign workers? Doesn’t the USA 🇺🇸 have the best universities in the world? No homegrown talent?

Because America can’t produce enough people who believe studying science for a few hours a day is worth it.

@BiketripsETC Anerica doesn’t have a shortage of highly skilled workers but the high tech companies prefer the cheap labor from India.

@Thomas Thomas Indians, Asians, and ME who come to America to assume STEM jobs make on average more money than Americans in similar jobs. The reason why Americans lag behind is because they don’t produce that many people who value science. Needless to say, Americans find it cool to advertise the fact that they failed math; in the fore mentioned countries saying that would get you ostracized from polite company.

@BiketripsETC Mr. Smart India is part of Asia. We all came from other parts of the world either yesterday or 400 years ago for a good reason. America is not a perfect country but it’s darn close. Do you wonder why the whole world wants to immigrate to the US?
The notion that you’r making more money than the average American, doesn’t mean Jack shit. If anything you should be grateful.
The notion that foreigners are smarter than Americans is ludicrous. America was, is and will always be the dominant country in the world by any matrix. Love it or leave it.

What about organic growth. America doesn’t have shortage of highly skilled workers but Americas cannot compete with Indian cheap labor.

If foreign workers are so smart, they can stay where ever they are and develop their country.

The SOB thinks that America without the cheap foreign workers is doomed. Please go back to Canada or India wherever you belong.

This debate was shit. This guy admits to being a foreigner yet wants an opinion on something only USA citizens can have.
I don’t see jow H1B has got to do with general immigration debate
H1B is a limited pool program based on employer and location. Manu tech workers who aren’t the best a players have criticize it.
For example IBM used IBM India to contract workers for ” offshore work ” but then used the h1B program to bring workers to America through Connecticut and Texas and UNDERPAY them ie Would be Going to actual Americans.
It does distort the middle class tech worker roles and Should be discussed in a better way

America has a shortage of farm workers but not high tech workers. When an employer ask 5 to 10 yrs on the job experience or a masters degree for a tech support position, or a PhD for an entry level network or software engineering position, it’s an indication of oversupply of high tech workers. American companies used to train or pay their employees to obtain relevant advance degree. For the padt 30 years corporate America has been saying we have shortage of highly skilled workers and that was a code word for a dirt cheap workers.

It’s personal to these tech companies because they can pay indians half as much as us citizens. Why don’t they hire more African Americans?
