Bill Gates Asks Senate For Infinite Number Of H 1B Visas

Bill Gates testified to the Senate in order to lobby for more H-1B visas, more employment based green cards, and expedited procedures to allow foreign students to work and gain permanent residence status in the USA. Gates thinks that an infinite number of H-1B visas is appropriate and cites global competitiveness for the reason If he cant get unlimited numbers of visas he is willing to settle for 300,000 new visas per year. Bill Gates was the only one to be invited to Sen. Kennedy's March 7, 2007 hearing on "competitiveness". Bill Gates does everything possible to crush Microsoft's competition but that didn't stop him from asking for more government intervention to protect his copyrights. The richest man in the world doesnt have a problem with forcing American workers into global labor arbitrage with cheap labor from countries like India. He wants to be richer and he is willing to do this on the back of the Americans that built Microsoft.

You people simply dont have that talent that Indian and Chineese have. I think the world is one. Be it American,Indian, or Chineese only talented people should be counted.

The guy under me is an idiot.

@sudiptoatutube NO, Americans simply aren't whiling to take the shitty wages Indians and Chinese are whiling to take.

@CommercialWarfare Did I say that no american can pass the coding interview? I just suggested most cannot. Most cannot even properly answer the SAT math. All the studies show that in math and science USA isn't nowhere close to top globally. Look it up, dude. I'm not saying it's good or bad, Im just saying how it is.

[RedChilliGod]

@CommercialWarfare Just the way things are, my friend. Strong triumphs the weak. When we've got folks from here who gravitate to bullshit majors like philosophy, sociology, anthropology, business management then we can't blame other cats getting degrees in marketable majors and then taking up high paying jobs. heck, MS pays like 80+ k starting salaries for devs. Most of the kids here can't do high school algebra let alone pass the coding interview at MS, Apple, Google, Facebook... That's life.

@CommercialWarfare That figure doesn't say anything about highly skilled technical workers - i.e those with a Masters or Ph.D in a science (Computer Science, Math, Physics, etc.).

American is loaded with all the talent it needs. This is about Congress giving favors to Big Business and Lobby Action to allow Americans to be terminated for cheep(not better) labor. Congress only cares about increasing their net worth. That is both Democrats and GOP. This is a big reason we have high unemployment. Vote with your minds next election!

Indian and Chinese nationals form the backbone of America's technology sector. The mathematics taught in high schools here is a joke, american students want to go out, drink themselves sick, do zero work, get jobs from just networking and end up stagnating the companies they join. Screw that. The age of henry fords, thomas edisons is over. Steve jobs, for all the buzz, couldn't even write a fucking hello world program in Java.

@YesYou123333 How am I a Foreigner? I'm here sitting in my home country. And yes incase they didn't tell you a lot of your infertile *Note that,that wasn't meant as an insult* women come over to our countries to have their babies. Now most of us work don't work for american companies, a few do its called outsourcing, because we do your job better than YOU and cheaper than you, and the irony is that the largest employer in the UK is .... an Indian. Grow up!

[YesYou123333]

@DeepakPawndU Yeah, I see a lot of American women hiding their pregnancy so they can board an airplane and have their baby in China so it will be a Chinese citizen. You foreigners would fall flat on your face without the US.  Even in your OWN countries you work for American companies. Your OWN country can't even provide a job for you yet you're supposed to be some kind of success story? I'm against the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Just a waste of money helping people who hate us.

[DeepakPawndU]

@YesYou123333 , you sound pretty cocky for a citizen of a country which is under severe depression and economic crisis. 13 trillion foreign debt and you Americans are still squatting in Afghanistan and Pakistan waiting for a miracle to happen. Without us Indians and Chinese supporting your dollar you would probably be sitting outside an Indian/Chinese embassy waiting for a visa that will never come,I think a lot you already are, but you get my point right? :D
