Trump buries H-1B visa applicants in paperwork

The E40 advertisement is done to demonstrate that the company can't find local workers, and thus they have to import cheap labor.

Disney bragged about it.

The "surplus" of skilled workers is not real. It's created by importing cheap product, in this case skilled workers. It's a circular problem. With skilled IT paying burger-flipper wages, there's no incentive to learn the IT job, and the supply of American skilled workers declines. If skilled workers are beaten down, low-skilled jobs will also pay less. Starting "at the bottom" is OK, but if the middle jobs have been sent to cheap labor markets (in the same building) why start at all? I despise donnie trump and I can't figure out why he's done this, but it's one of 2 or 3 good things he's done. The TPP was written and negotiated by American drug companies with significant benefits for every country EXCEPT America. (I'd also guess that H1-b workers claim 99 dependents for taxes and are out of the country before they're caught. )
