Re: [Video] H1-B, Recruiters Goal, Not to find qualified American workers
It doesn't make jobs inaccessible, if anything an increase in skilled labor makes the labor market in the US more attractive for prospective employers. This is not a zero sum game, just because someone else gets a job doesn't mean another person cannot get a job. And the better educated the populace is, the better the economy will be.
All people residing in this nation benefit from a strong economy.
Even if a person, fresh of the boat, is paid less for an entry level position, that will soon change. The market adjusts rapidly in educated fields and if they're getting paid 10k less they'll soon move to a job where they are receiving a decent wage.
Labor is a natural resource, a strong labor force will attract more companies to the US. So companies are looking to cut through the red-tape as fast as they can because they already have a man to work the jobs. I have no problem with that. The requirement to find an American worker shouldn't have been in the law in the first place.
We should bring as many highly educated people to the US as we possibly can, it will make the economy stronger, and it will ensure that we can maintain a leading role in the world economy. If anything we should be talking about lessening the onerous burdens it takes to get a visa to study and work here so the US can get the best and brightest from around the world.
