San Diego’s Qualcomm is the fifth-largest user of H-1B talent
Right well that is a bigger problem with electronic stock trading. In the old days people would buy and hold stocks (under a mattress) and so they were interested in LONG TERM value --- they want pepsi to be there 50 years from now. Now people trade electronically, for SHORT TERM profits -- everything can and is a pump and dump scheme. I'm not sure what the solution to that is however....maybe Gene Nelson might have some anlysis there?— January 24, 2013 4:59 p.m.

Those are two different topics entirely -- H1bs are trained in their own country. Technological superiority? 2/3 of India doesn't even have running water... FUD 25 years from now, when the only US jobs are working at McDonald's, there is no cheap chinese manufacturing because there is no manufacturing here, and so they decided to raise prices on all the manufactured goods, and all your medical diagnostics are outsourced to India, then, you'll say noone saw it coming.— January 23, 2013 10:04 p.m.

Maybe but things are so blatant know they can lobby 24x7. They know, and congress knows, that "best and brightest" and "more h1b" means "cheaper and more indentured labor". They can and do lobby 24x7 because they think americans who complain about it are just hillbillies with no skills -- patently untrue. The H1b is not slavery -- it's indentured servitude -- the next best thing, and that's want the corps want above all. The fact that H1b is indentured to an employer and cannot shift employment at will, it shows that it's anti-competitive -- something all parties should be against and just a way of not paying Cost of Living and other increases overtime, let alone the base pay which is half.— January 23, 2013 4:17 p.m.

It's what I call the "Best and Brightest Oranges!" Oh know -- orange juice is $2.00/qt! There is a shortage! We need to import more and more of these "best and brightest" oranges from venezuela, tangier, and whatever, no matter the quality, simply to drive the price down. They are not best and brightest, they might not even be orange, but it's just a rallying cry to increase supply for the sole sake of driving prices down. All they want is cheaper oranges, they call them best and brightest to make it seem like a win for everyone when in fact these are rotten fruit that just cost less.— January 23, 2013 3:56 p.m.

I'm particularly talking about the harmful infestations, not the supposedly benign infestations. These are things that are legally actionable now, we don't need to wait for new laws— January 23, 2013 1:47 p.m.

This is a great article but only touches on the discrimination that we are importing. Indian (and Chinese) managers routinely discriminate against applicants who are not of their own race, and in some cases, particular region. They can identify the race, caste, language, etc of the applicant by last name alone. I know that when I go to interview at many companies in San Diego, as soon as the Indian can see that I'm white, for example, that I'm blackballed and am asked the most ridiculous of tech questions. People who are discriminated against need to file legal action --- it would be best if whites, blacks or other americans who were discriminated against, by for example, qualcomm filed suit, and finally shine some light on this blatant discrimination.— January 23, 2013 11:54 a.m.
