stsimon, AMEN!
Encouraging more immigration rather than fixing the corrupt H1-B visa program is a bad idea. It will further suppress IT wages which have already been reduced by H1-B. It will also encourage foreign students to come to the United States and strip their home countries of workers needed to build stable societies. It will also serve as a relief valve allowing those countries to avoid dealing with their high birthrates.

She has no principles and tells her audience whatever they want to hear. I suspect Hillary was the inspiration behind Claire Underwood. The parallels are plenty.

With Hillary, any 2-bit for profit college can rake in profits by offering a green card for sale in addition to their worthless diploma. And this is yet another poor judgement by Hillary.

I think there should be a formalized presidency competency test. The two top criteria should be mature judgement and understanding of government machinery. Perhaps they can submit their top 100 decisions where in the midst of ambiguity and high stakes they made the right call. And they should show their competence in pushing unpopular agenda through the government. Hillary has the last one, but not the first. she is not qualified. The problem is the Trump has neither.

I am very unhappy with the choices in this election.

I don't think anyone in IT is hurting for pay, but they are hurting for workers. I think we should encourage the best that come here to learn to stay so that we benefit. They are the kind of educated Americans we want.
