Issa introduces bill to thwart H-1B abuse
Scott Wilson, you said "the ONLY advantage to hiring H-1B's instead of Americans is price." If only a politician or bureaucrat would admit this in public and to the media. Because they all deny it. Remember, the H-1B program was launched to import "the best and brightest" who are demonstrably smarter and more talented than the Americans that were overlooked in the recruiting process. The H-1B program was suppose to help our economy by bolstering our intellectual capital; the best engineers and programmers. Those of us actually in the business, who have actually worked with these so-called "best and brightest" know it's a sham. First of all, there is no "cap" on the pay that an H-1B earns. The pay is negotiated just like with any employee. These are suppose to be the best and brightest, why aren't they demanding higher pay to start with? This bill is a joke. It does nothing, it solves nothing. Anyone who understands economics, market forces, know that government imposed wage floors and ceilings are not efficient - and there's always a way to avoid complying anyway.— July 21, 2016 7:37 p.m.
Issa introduces bill to thwart H-1B abuse
I have read H.R. 5801, the "Protect and Grow American Jobs Act." It will do nothing about helping America grow jobs for Americans, only increase the wages for the foreign nationals. The unintended consequences will be more corruption and deceit as there will be more incentive to be the lucky H-1B's that get paid even more. This is simply election time window dressing by political actors on both sides of the aisle using this empty bill in an effort to assuage criticism of the H-1B program and the calls for its end.— July 21, 2016 5:56 p.m.
To judge a deli’s worth, zero in on pastrami
The best pastrami is navel pastrami, has more fat. Though, first cut is what many places use. One of my long-time favorite pastrami sandwiches is at The Hat.— July 21, 2016 5:35 p.m.
All the mayor’s moneyed friends
Kevin Faulconer is a puppet. The moneyed establishment places bets on a variety of candidates just like they would on racehorses. In hopes of a big win down the line. Kevin is not very bright, he had a low GPA at SDSU and look courses like "surfing." You bet he needs money because he sure doesn't have brains.— July 21, 2016 9:20 a.m.
San Diegans have less stress
There are parents that "raise" children, those that "take care" of them and then those who do not do either. And then there are those who neglect them.— July 19, 2016 4:18 p.m.
"Black Lives Matter is under attack"
This movement seems to have inspired a cop killing spree. This will not solve any of the problems and only make matters worse, for all. If the cop killings continue, we may find out nation under Marshall law.— July 17, 2016 10:16 a.m.
Amidst Jacobs family crack-ups, can charity prevail?
The Jacobs are traitors. They are part of an alliance to destroy the middle-class and make everything too expensive for them as well. They want to destroy Balboa Park and Seaport Village and make them venues for the wealthy, only. Have we forgotten what philanthropy is? Maybe not, but the Jacobs sure have. Like medicine, the rule of charity is "do no harm." The best thing the Jacobs can do it go away and be forgotten.— July 14, 2016 7:27 p.m.
Brexit — what do San Diego analysts think?
"The current wave of immigrants is having profound social consequences -- profound enough that it is already leading to big changes, such as Brexit." Not sure what kind of changes you had in mind Don. But I had the daily terrorist stuff in mind when I suggested the UK wanted control of migration. After Nice, I wonder if France will exit too. Or is their "problem" too baked into their society?— July 14, 2016 7:24 p.m.
Brexit — what do San Diego analysts think?
Although most people agree that immigration is good for many reasons, it can be argued that too much immigration – too quickly – is not good. Britons have been welcoming immigrants from their former colonies for decades. However, the recent wave of refugees and the diametric culture they embrace rather than assimilate, has taken its toll. The Brits are tired of bureaucrats in Brussels dictating how many asylum seekers the U.K. must accept. Economics aside, a lot of what Brexit was about is not trade, but controlling borders and immigration.— July 13, 2016 12:58 p.m.
