Republicans believe in Trickle Down Economics, Regan-omics, or Voodoo Economics. Start more companies give tax advantages and they will hire more employees to grow the company. Solid idea, but H1B changes the rules so they can hire internationals at cheaper rates and push out American labor into re-education for another career. The American worker will continue to be pushed out of the job market as a result of H1B Visas. In this age of gloablization, the manufacturing of goods & delivery of services are being sent overseas in record numbers never seen before in this Country or Economy.

In the past, I worked with companies who abused the H1B visa program. The ownership was Indian, the employees were mostly Indian, and each company employee started with an H1B visa. They came to America, worked for much less money then their American counterpart, and were far more loyal to the company or risk being sent back to your home country. When I was working there, I remember the H1B staff complaining to me about the company treating them like slave labor and repeatedly said it was unfair.

This was not the intention of the H1B, it was intended to supplement the number of skilled workers needed in the country, not replace them with cheaper international labor. In recent years, the H1B is used by companies all around the country to hire international labor instead of paying the American employee the going rate. There are rules to hire someone on H1B, but there is no enforcement of those rules.

In the end, people like Mitt should not be president. They do not understand that in order to run this country, you need to protect the citizens before you protect a companies profitability. Its clear to me, that he sides with the companies who give him money to get elected and leaves the people who are hurt by this H1B, to find another job with less exposure to India’s outsourcing, Chineese Manufactoring and the cheap price of labor from emerging nations.

Globalization, outsourcing, and bad immigration policy will cause the next Great Depression in America. A near certainty as a result of growing and record unemployment, an end to most US manufacturing, and an increased demand of the Earth’s natural resources.

This is the single largest issue facing our generation. Do we want to promote the country or do we want to promote the profitability of our American companies above the needs of the citizens of this country’s’ well being? If you believe in Reganomics and never ending market driven rules, vote Mitt. If you believe the role of govt is to protect its citizens from profit hungry companies and countries alike, vote Democrat.
