RSSBILL GATES: IMMIGRATION LAWS FORCE OUTSOURCING

Bill Gates is right on.
He says that immigration laws “make attracting and retaining high-skilled immigrants exceptionally challenging for US firms.”
In one day last April, all the applicants of high-skilled immigrants were snapped up for the year. Others standing in line had to wait for another year.
US companies needing those skilled workers then were forced to outsource. US needs to up the quotas for visas for high-skilled immigrants to work in the US. For every one high-skilled employee hired, Microsoft chairman Gates says regarding his company, four others are hired as supportive roles.
The whole immigration situation needs healing. But one particular area is the high-skilled worker component, per Gates to the House of Representatives Science and Technology Committee.
Gates also said that if math and science scores, specifically high tech leaders, don’t go up regarding American students, we in the US just may not have home-grown qualified high-skilled workers.

On topic and intelligent comments are always welcome as are humorous observations. But liberal talking points with no basis in reality, off topic comments, spam and advertisements are not. Even though you may think you are an intelligent liberal by spouting such things, you probably are not. Keep this in mind as trolling is prohibited and will result in your comments not being approved and comments informing us how much we are a bunch of idiots because you say we are or espousing hate towards the truth are often moved directly to the official “I Hate You/You’re An Idiot” thread. Save us all the time and post there directly if you have a comment that would meet those criteria. Commentators reserve the right to mock claims about how liberal ideas, such as higher taxes, actually work and how conservative and right wingers, are NAZIs, racists, sexists, etc. and will do so with great regularity.
