H-1B visas must end’: Wife of US citizen shares plight of landing IT jobs

@Master Chief

but there was a time when India was a pariah state and Pakistan was fully embraced by the west. I still remember those days. Maybe you are too young.

No, I am not that young, in my mid 50s now. I do remember.

India's and Pakistan's GDPs were virtually equal in much of the 1990s. Pakistan's GDP per capita was double that of India's in the year 1990.

Question then is why did you abandon your old path of alliance with the West if it was working so well. As your friends not, masters would put it "If it ain't broke why fix it"

Btw, I have a question for you, please find the answer.

In 1990s, when PAK GDP per capita was higher than IND and BD, what was the savings rate (Savings/GDP) for the three countries. You might find the answer interesting and counterintuitive. It might also explain what has happened since 2000.

I'm no Economist. I shall look into it though as you suggested.

The predictable binary of Pakistan India relationship is what the west can exploit with absurd ease

The West has communism as an enemy, okay Pakistan is useful India is not

The West has China as a competitor, roles reverse

I would say arguably Pakistan has had a better run with the West.




It is a damning condemnation of two billion people, that they can be maneuvered around so easily, but so convinced of their self importance

Not surprised to read that. Nothing in your posts we have interacted on suggest any understanding of economics or finance.

Yes, look into that. Also go through some basic economic textbooks to understand the implication of savings rate on the economy.

Trump proposes temporary foreign expertise program

The president wrote on social media on Sunday the U.S. "welcome[s]" foreign workers to train domestic workers.

www.newsweek.com

Donald Trump said Sunday on social media that the United States would allow foreign companies to temporarily bring in "people of expertise" to train American workers, after which they would return home.

Trump supports strict immigration measures and pledged to launch the largest mass deportation operation in U.S. history. Thousands of immigrants residing in the country illegally and legally, including with valid documentation like green cards and visas, have been detained.

The president's push for more foreign investment comes just after immigration officials recently launched its largest raid on a manufacturing plant in Georgia.

The H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to employ foreign workers with specialized knowledge or expertise, has become a flashpoint in Republican debates over immigration. Supporters say the program brings needed skills and fuels economic growth, while critics argue expanded use can undercut opportunities for U.S. workers, especially amid domestic layoffs.

Major tech firms, including Amazon, Microsoft, Apple and Meta, are among the top sponsors of H-1B employees. Engineering, finance and other industries also rely on the visa.

In a Sunday Truth Social post, Trump wrote that he wants foreign companies "to bring their people of expertise for a period of time to teach and train our people how to make these very unique and complex products, as they phase out of our Country, and back into their land." He did not specify the time frame or which visa would apply.

His post continued: "If we didn't do this, all of that massive Investment will never come in the first place—Chips, Semiconductors, Computers, Ships, Trains, and so many other products that we have to learn from others how to make, or, in many cases, relearn, because we used to be great at it, but not anymore."

Trump has pledged to revitalize American manufacturing, from car factories to semiconductors, which has been a hot political topic for years given national security concerns.

He continued: "I don't want to frighten off or disincentivize Investment into America by outside Countries or Companies," however, some economists and politicians, like Andrew Yang, have noted that Trump's changing tariffs policies have sparked "disinvesting."

Trump's comments come after a massive Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid in Georgia of more than 300 South Korean nationals working at a Hyundai factory, which is likely to chill foreign investments. The workers were flown back to South Korea last week.

"We welcome them, we welcome their employees, and we are willing to proudly say we will learn from them, and do even better than them at their own "game," sometime into the not too distant future!" the president's Truth Social post concluded.

The basic issues are the same. Native born Americans don't have all the skill sets to perform all the functions that are needed for a successful, innovative economies. They will need skilled immigrants- which means East Asians and Indians.

Where has he spoken about H1b visas? Or Indians being drafted in to supply "expertise" to American companies?

Newsweek seems to have expertise in misinterpreting basic English.

You interpret Newsweek very well though.

Read the article again.

He spoke of foreign companies being needed to provide expertise for American labour, the mechanism for which is not clear, but h1b is clearly not able to facilitate this process.

This is not H1B visa that he is talking about, but some hybrid of a short-term L1 and B1 , which would specifically allows foreign workers to work, but only at setting up a new operation and training American workers.

As I pointed out in an earlier post, the reference maybe to a very specific requirement, but the broader point still holds. There are multiple areas where native born American skills are lacking and where they will have to depend upon foreign employees.
