This is one thing Bernie and Trump agree on. For the average person, globalization is not a good thing for the average person. It's why we have so much illegal immigration from Mexico in the first place. American farmers have to use cheap foreign labor in order to compete with farmers all the way in China. It makes no fukking sense.

hints:
1. syntax (and more importantly semantics)
2. missing "idiomatic use of a language"
3. nope. that's cap.

As the former head of strategy for one of the world’s largest IT services companies, I know a lot more about the abuses of the H-1B visa program than most people. It is a simple fact that this program has been abused for years. Virtually no one hired by Accenture, Cognizant, Capgemini, Wipro, Infosys or Tata Consulting Services has rare skills Americans lack. That’s ostensibly why we hired such workers, but that’s not the real reason. The real reason was simply this: they were cheap and compliant.
When losing your job means you’re probably going to be deported (most likely to India which receives the supermajority of these visas), you can’t afford to put in mediocre work or complain about long hours or tight deadlines. That’s especially true when your deportation lops a zero off your compensation.
All of the “body shops” in the IT services sector employ the same strategy we used at my old firm. We did so because some of our US-based clients wanted US-based workers handling their tech implementations, and the most profitable way for us to do that with the lowest turnover was to use H-1B workers. They were not more skilled than American IT workers. They were cheaper and more compliant. The relationship was exploitative. This should surprise exactly no one.
I can’t speak for Amazon, Microsoft or the other tech majors, but I assume a not insignificant portion of Amazon’s 10,000 H-1B hires last year fall into the same category.
The issue is not just FBA not getting jobs, its also that FBA live in poorly funded schools and bad neighborhoods that prevent them from competing for these high paying jobs. If the White House really cared about FBA, they would create policies to reduce FBA poverty and increase their levels of education.
“if the white house really cared”
has nothing to do with what im speaking about bruh, 99% of politicians dont really give a fukk about FBA so thats not even saying anything
not sure why Im even quoted
but since I was
I’ll say it again, the previous policy put 0 dollars into FBA pockets
so what does that say about the presidents beforehand who did nothing about this issue

is that new visas or new visa applications.
there is a difference.
when they say not renewals does that mean renewals of current and/or future renewals of new applications.
is it annual or one off.
