| schestowitz[TR2] | I came to the US on an H1B years ago. Even when on an H1B I held the opinion that the majority of jobs done by h1b employees could be done by Americans if given training. I have hired good American employees and trained them to do things they didn't have experience with. | Nov 18 00:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | H1B visas should be fixed term with no extensions with the goal being to fill temporary gaps and then train Americans to do jobs before leaving. | Nov 18 00:48 |
