THats not a labor issue, thats an Immigration issue. An let me tell you a secret. OBAMA WANTS TO DO THE SAME THING.
Of course it's a labor issue. What sort of job do you plan on getting? Would you like for it to have crap wages?
Yeah, is there anything wrong with giving more visas?
They drive down wages.
Yeah, is there anything wrong with giving more visas?
Yeah, this won't hurt her, especially in California where there's already a significant Asian population. After all, the point is to recruit Asians who came to America to study science and engineering in the first place. Might as well have them work here rather than just study here then go back to their home country and work. The way to get Americans in these fields is to invest in science education in public schools, not block immigrants from coming to work here.
Why would Asian-Americans want to be laid off in favor of some H-1B?

But when immigrants come here, they tighten the labor market and disincentive American students from studying science and engineering because the American students realize they will be competing with Asians and others from all other the world, whereas if they go into something like law, they don't have to. 500,000 jobs is a lot. California citizen Asians should feel the same way, as they are in the same boat as other Americans.
Also, they really should go back to their home country and work. When Asian countries are a little more prosperous, perhaps they'll be able to consume some of their own produce and actually--shock import more from the United States. That is the only hope of correcting the imbalances in the global economy.
Damn straight. Lawyers get to control who work in their field, so naturally they exclude people they don't want. We need to have H-1Bs for lawyers and get rid of the bullsh**t that an expensive law degree is required for some weed out bar exam just so that you can practice. Then the lawyers will eliminate H-1Bs in no time. Lawyers are all about protecting their profession while screwing others over.
