Text of the page (random words):
licitly faulted u s engineers by noting that 100 percent of chinese engineers will take training programs offered by the company while u s workers pursue these activities in puny single digit percentages ibm china specifically expressed disappointment about the low u s participation in company training but other global companies in china soon confirmed this disparity based on my experience i do not believe these claims by ibm managers that only 10 of workers in the usa would take advantage of company training programs but we need some specific examples posted by mr kim berry at 12 11 pm 5 comments labels h 1b h1b perm sloan foundation tuesday december 18 2007 nfap s stuart anderson s dishonest use of h 1b statistics according to a december 16 2007 article in the hindu business line nfap executive director stuart anderson has released a study titled the impact of high skill immigration restrictions on america a key finding of his study is that the 10 most cited outsourcing firms of wipro infosys tcs satyam computer services patni computer systems cognizant tech solutions us hcl america deloitte and touche llp accenture and mphasis used only 14 of the total h 1b visas in 2006 anderson then makes the absurd leap to conclude that the vast majority of h 1b visas go to us high tech companies financial institutions and us universities anderson reaches these conclusions because he is paid by industry to lobby to increase the flood of h 1b workers although he shows a total disregard for his fellow american citizens he frets over the welfare of indian companies any new restriction on high skill immigration will hurt the us industry as much as indian firms in may 2007 businessweek published a list of the top 200 h 1b users this list reveals that there are many other

principal financial group inc pays h 1b programmers 43 000 while lobbying for more as reported in computerworld national tech policy battle plays out in iowa as caucus nears gary scholten a senior vice president and cio at principal financial group in des moines related his it workforce concerns directly to three democratic candidates new mexico gov bill richardson and sens barack obama and christopher dodd among gary s concerns is that the u s is not flooding in a sufficient number of h 1b workers causing them to have to hire from the local community college and to set up it operations in pune india so what didn t gary tell the candidates principal financial group headquarters are at 711 high street des moines ia 50392 0001 usa that is the same address as the lcas for principal life insurance company these lcas reveal h 1b applications filed by principal life insurance company approved h 1b applications 110 total jobs 168 principal s h 1b usage includes many software development positions paying between 43k 50k gary likely didn t mention that many of these h 1b come through training programs in the usa that are closed to american citizens for example through premier it solutions inc which cites principal financial group among their top clients gary also likely didn t mention that many of the help wanted on their website are perm fake job ads like this one run solely to obtain green cards for their dozens of h 1b programmers job title it application analyst peoplesoft job id 208545 location ia des moines b s in computer science information systems engineering or related field or foreign equivalent plus 5 years experience in the job offered or in a related occupation such as programmer analyst or similar duties under a different job title experience to include erp applications peoplesoft financial suite or hrms suite peopletools and rdbms the problem is apparent search for it in principal financial group s job openings you ll find either positions for new graduates or positions that require 3 6 years of experience in specific languages and applications there are no openings for americans with bs degrees and several years of experience but need the same on the job training that is extended to new graduates to get them up to speed and as long as employers can flood in h 1b programmers at 43 000 the market forces that would make that happen do not

challenges bill gates to debate h 1b visa bill gates has asked congress for an unlimited number of h 1b visas watch lou dobbs ask gates to discuss the matter we suspect that gates will decline this opportunity to explain to the world his reasons for wanting an h 1b increase lou dobbs transcript november 13 2007 is here bill tucker cnn correspondent voice over there is no shortage of students studying for careers in math and science there is a shortage of jobs that s the simply bottom line finding of a new study from the urban institute the study shows that between 1985 and 2000 435 000 u s citizens and permanent residents a year graduated with bachelors masters and doctoral degrees in science and engineering that s three times the number of jobs in science and engineering added per year 150 000 during that time separately michael teitelbaum at the alfred p sloan foundation told congress last week that neither he nor a separate study by the rand corporation can find any evidence of worker shortages these studies are not anomalies vivek wadhwa harvard university bottom line is that all of our research at duke and now at harvard shows the same thing that there is no shortage of engineers there s no shortage of scientists companies aren t going abroad because of skills they re going abroad because it s cheaper posted by mr kim berry at 5 44 am 26 comments labels bill gates h 1b h1b lou dobbs microsoft sunday november 11 2007 bias against american tech workers by dan miller and juliana barbassa eight firms used 87 of all h 1b applications in 2006 harrisburg pa and all eight are owned and managed by indian immigrants with average salary around 45 000 dear dan miller and juliana barbassa please consider the programmers guild s objections to the bias in dan s article tech workers push for immigration reform in today s patriot news dan s article is leveraged from a prior ap article tech workers still looking for immigration change by juliana barbassa note that i am quoted in the ap article but in such a way that it appears that the programmers guild supports expansion of the green card quota which we do not instead as i had told juliana on the phone we believe that h 1b should only be granted in the rare cases where no qualified americans are available at any price then there would not be so many h 1b trying to use this temporary visa as a basis to obtain citizenship what i didn t say on the phone was that i don t believe a temporary work visa should even be a path to citizenship it should only be used until an american can be located and trained to fill the job if i took a job in switzerland on a temporary work visa i not would be so arrogant as to demand that i be granted swiss citizenship legal immigrants who feel squeezed by limits on the number of green cards issued each year are trying to separate their complaints from the protests by illegal immigrants the green card application system is akin to indentured servitude said kim berry president of the programmers guild a group that opposes current work visa laws it takes years for the green card sponsorship to happen and they can t leave can t ask for a raise unless they want to lose their place in line the article states it gets too frustrating sometimes said sandeep bhatia a software engineer from mumbai india who first applied for a green card in 2001 since then bhatia has completed an mba of what relevance is getting an mba is there a shortage of mba holders in the usa i ve known several programmers who obtained an mba at night school typically it has no value in the programming profession note that none of the positions on the harrisburg pa craigslist cite mba as even a desired qualification the article states american born tech workers who criticize the visa system argue the annual influx of 65 000 foreign workers like bhatia takes jobs from americans and puts a damper on all salaries out of the entire article that is the only sentence supporting the viewpoint of american citizen not american born u s workers everyone that you quote in your article is a special interest immigrant seeking citizenship immigration attorney seeking to expand business or business trying to maximize profit you fail to interview a single u s worker or representative organization nor evaluate whether the concerns are valid a please see the comments from the 290 signers of the october 15th ieee rebuttal letter many claim to have been directly harmed by h 1b and many have indicated that they will speak to the media b i have personally witnessed cases where qualified americans were not hired solely because an h 1b applicant appeared to have slightly higher qualifications but in every instance the americans who were passed over were highly qualified to fill the positions bodyshops first bring in h 1b workers then they swamp job ads with the resumes of their h 1b staff at that point it is illeg...
