Oh how can they suggest such a thing the GOP playing politics on any issue especially immigration? That is an outrageous lie. How dare they suggest such a thing? The GOP is a party of firm principal and steadfast beliefs. What is more I can prove it. Was not Mitt the moron firm and consistent the whole way through the election campaign? Was not Sarah Palin steadfast in her role as Governor of Alaska? There I rest my case.
What a JOKE! With all that faces us that is imminently more important, THIS is what they come up with? Oh, correction..THIS AND chastizing Ambassador Rice. Is there ANY question as to WHY the GOP are heading for their OWN political cliff?
Every American born engineer and scientist needs to leave the country ASAP. This nonsense just will not stop... Its no wander that Asia is rising rapidly... Over the last 20 years - our government with the help of corporate America and their countless H1B and student Visa programs have trained our competition.. Yes the short term profits were nice... Now what? At the same time - I've seen American students turned away from university - in favor of foreign students. I asked a school administrator why this was.. They told me the less paperwork (for gov't reinbursement) and higher tuition. Well here's where we are at.. I'm very very seriously of moving away and no I'm not making this up... In the last 3-4 years engineering pay in China has doubled.. For software engineers the average pay now in China is $36,000.. Don't Believe me? Google it. While $36,000 doesn't seem comparable in raw numbers - when you consider the cost of living differences $1 buys about 4 times as much in China... (the 1 exception being automobiles). So $36,000 over there is equivalent to $140,000 a year here. And get this - their pay is still rising rapidly. Since the recession started hours are about comparable.. Both sides about 80 hours a week. On our side of the Pacific - the hours have gone up quite considerably in my area... In China the hours are going down.
American Engineers and scientist -you've been sold out... The time to do something about it has long been overdue... I'm very very rapidly approaching the point where I no longer wish to support this system of corruption. Good luck... All the foreign born cheap labor they bring over will not like being away from their families for long... Every dime they make above expenses goes straight out of the country to help family. Also the exodus of folks (more experienced immigrants ) back to Asia has already began as living quality is growing leaps in bounds and nobody likes being away from family for long.. Not only is this an economic drain - its a technological drain. These folks when they go back home - work for the competition. And being American born I'm very very close of saying to h@ll with it - and joining the brain drain myself. I've already moved my family to Asia.
Oh BTW - when us experienced engineers leave - then the country will really be screwed... While these people come in from other countries with degrees not even worth the paper they are written on - the real knowledge comes from doing the work itself... Ask ANY experienced engineer they will tell you the same. That is why folks from these countries come here - to learn from the best in the world.. Their American counterparts... If we were to leave.. who'd train our replacements? From what I've seen, most of the folks coming over here don't know j*ck ****. Some of the guys I trained in the early 90s (from India) confided in me they hadn't even used a real computer before and that all they learned from university was from 20-30 year old textbooks.. Now PCs are everywhere across Asia so I'm sure that's changed. Anyway - us experienced American engineers need to leave.. With us out of here - all corporate America will have left is a bunch of noobs that don't know j*ck.
TypeZ - I'm not making this up... I'm really really close to bailing on this **** hole.. My family really is abroad.. I've been over all over Asia the last 4 years about 1/3 time. Not only is my family over there - I have a 2nd house over there.. I'm very very close to saying to h@ll with it.
Nice to know that I'm not the only one that caught the end run around the H1b1 caps by calling it "immigration reform", something Republicans have been trying to expand for at least the past decade.
Remember 1 dollar is about 6 RMB... So divide these figures by 6 to get the compensation in dollars. Also keep in mind 1 dollar buys about 4 times as much over there.
The facts are undisputed: Republicans have a problem attracting Hispanic voters.

Geez. Whodathunkit,eh? Just because they passed anti-Hispanic laws in several states?
If you dance to the music, you have to pay the piper.......
Are we trying to justify utter dereliction of duty in enforcing immigration laws again? Shut off the job and handouts magnet. Shut off the "Anchor baby" farce. Make a path for self deportation available. Anyone being caught here illegally is permanently barred from citizenship. No Amnesty for anyone. There are already immigration laws in place to attract skilled foreigners now. Don't justify failure to take action to cleaning the illegals out because the liberal press pushes it. Enforce existing laws. No reform needed. Just do your jobs.
Here is a fact for you wing nuts if we go off the fiscal cliff and unemployment raises there will be no saving you. The vast majority of Americans of all races and color will blame you.
Stop playing around and fix the mess you clown created.
