Saying Good-bye Thanks to Stupid Politicians
Reports have indicated that Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) plan to introduce a bill that would limit the ability of companies to hire H-1B employees.[1] Arguing that H-1B visa recipients are a threat to American workers, their proposal would add new layers of regulation and procedures making it more difficult for companies to hire foreigners.

via Restricting H-1B Visas Is Bad for Business and the Economy
This weekend I’m off to Tennessee to see a good friend. He is graduating from graduate school with an MBA. He’ll be returning to his country of birth to create value there not here. He is a smart, hardworking, well-educated, and recently a family man. He came to the states for college, returned to his country of birth to serve the required military service, and then returned here for graduate school.
Because of Republican and Democratic politicians like those mentioned in the article above he will not be adding value to our economy because the rules are to cumbersome for a company to be able to hire a bright talent like my good friend. Even though they have tried, even though he worked hard in his internship, even though he is just as qualified as many American’s, it’s treated like a zero-sum game.
And on top of the ignorance of the zero-sum game mentality we let millions of uneducated Mexican’s just walk across the boarder use our hospitals and suck up our social services without benefit to this country. But let a foreigner come over here legally, help him get a good education at a state school where he works hard, and then force him to leave.
Yes, America that is what is thought of as “good policy” by Republican and Democrat alike. We might as well just outlaw higher education altogether it would do the job much quicker then this slow painful process that everybody pretends is “good policy”.
