"Highly skilled" programmers for "high-tech" or capitalism working as expected?
I'm currently domiciled in the U.S. I don't watch or listen to "the news". I don't support Democrats or Republicans.
The other day somebody told me there's an H-1B visa schism within the Republican Party.
I said, alright, show me what "the left" says, and show me what "the right" says.
The "left" said something like we'll see if Trump can keep the disparate core supporters and corporate coalitions of the Republican Party together.
Trump sides with Elon Musk in the H-1B visa debate: Here's what you need to know
"...the tech industry so dependent on that high-skilled labor"
The "right" said something similar
A look at the H-1B visa debate
"... it's designed for big tech employers to get cheap labor, .. maybe cheaper labor". "...and indentured servitude..."
Anomaly?
Germany recently made a deal with Kenya along similar lines Germany to welcome Kenyans in labour deal
"According to the deal, IT specialists from Kenya will be allowed to enter and work in Germany, even if they do not have formal qualifications.
Both governments will support the immigration of skilled workers who have finished vocational training or earned a university degree, as long as their qualifications are recognised by the relevant authorities of the other party."
Some names amd numbers in the raw data
Amazon Com Services LLC 9265
Infosys Limited 8140
Google LLC 5364
Microsoft Corporation 4725
Apple Inc 3873
IBM Corporation 2906
If I were on "the left" those numbers would be shocking to me. You mean to tell me Google can't recruit those "highly-skilled" "high-tech" workers from Stanford, where the folks who created Google came from?
If I were on "the right" those numbers would be utterly appalling to me; I would want the number to be 0.
Are U.S. programmers really less "highly skilled" than non-U.S. programmers?
Or, just capitalism (cheapest labor to maximize profit for shareholders) working as expected?
