So one of our lovely GOPe Congress critters has attached a rider to the appropriations bill giving preferential immigration status to Indians with technical degrees. This is clearly a bid to help the lords of Silicon Valley replace more expensive workers with cheap Indians. But more importantly(?), it edges out potential skilled labor immigration from any other country than India due to immigration caps.
We can't even produce enough high school graduates who can read or add.
I know the GOP has been accused of racial discrimination many times in the past, but never has it been so obvious, nor so well supported by the Leftists of the Bay Area.
preferential immigration status to Indians with technical degrees.
All Indians, no Chiefs
If its preferential to anyone w a technical degree that sounds like solid policy.
it's all because the leftists made them do i
We don't produce enough STEM graduates, look at our rotten schools. We can't even produce enough high school graduates who can read or add.
Nope, I never said nor implied that. I dare you to show where I did so.
so well supported by the Leftists of the Bay Area.
Strategist saysWe don't produce enough STEM graduates, look at our rotten schools. We can't even produce enough high school graduates who can read or add.
Nonsense constantly promoted by corporations looking to keep wages down. There are shortages due to fluctuations in demand from constantly changing needs (no one could find enough oil engineers doing the fracking boom for example) and geographic area changes, otherwise this is just a bunch of crap. https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2015/article/stem-crisis-or-stem-surplus-yes-and-yes.htm

So is this some kind of orwellian newspeak statement then? Obedience is freedom?
Last year, India had the most graduates of any country worldwide with 78.0 million while China followed close behind with 77.7 million. The U.S. is now in third place with 67.4 million graduates, and the gap behind the top two countries is widening.Feb 2, 2017

Not sure what you mean by that. My statement you quoted was in reference to this particular incidence, where big tech companies in SillyCon Valley have lobbied relentlessly for more H1bs to maximize their profits. The past few years have shown these corporations to be ruled by unrepentant Leftists, and several have Indian CEOs! Are we then expected to consider this an accident that the bought and paid for establishment GOP wants to pave the way for 200,000 Indians to come take American jobs in tech?
Can any country continue to supply jobs to all the graduates.
How many American stem grads aren't working in STEM jobs?
How many have good paying jobs?
In Oakland USD (where I live) the priority is to produce SJW's. Academic education is secondary at best.
otherwise this is just a bunch of crap.
Is it though?
I was watching an interview w Professor Michio Kaku. He mentioned that every graduate physics student in his program is foreign born. Then he mentioned that physics discoveries in the past have been key to advances in society, and perhaps in the future physics advances may be more important.
If we dont allow these foreign born physicians, these future societal advances may be discovered in china rather than here
Seems Unions would also be against unfettered immigration.
