Programmers Guild response to the guy who calls us "Xenophobes Who Need To Go Back Into Their Caves"

Submitted by kimberry on Tue, 12/08/2009 - 19:19

On December 5, 2009 Vivek Wadhwa posted "The Startup Visa And Why The Xenophobes Need To Go Back Into Their Caves" 

The new “Startup visa” is sketched out here: http://startupvisa.com/about/ .

Vivek claims that this Startup visa "is about creating American jobs and moving innovation here which would otherwise happen in other countries. We can boost the economy without any cost to taxpayers. It’s not about admitting H-1B visa holders who sometimes make Americans compete for high-paying jobs, but bringing in entrepreneurs who expand the pie for everyone."
 
Vivek believes that everyone should see the benefit of his idea - and those who don't are "xenophobes": “I was convinced that my last BusinessWeek column on the Startup visa presented such a compelling argument that even these poor souls [aka American tech workers] would support it.”

When an employer wishes to sponsor an H-1b worker for a green card, they are required to run a few ads in the Sunday newspaper as "good faith" recruitment to demonstrate that no qualified Americans are available for the position. "Good faith” is subjective, as the immigration attorney in this Cohen and Grigsby video illustrates: www.youtube.com/programmersguild/.

I have created opposition site www.carlyforcalifornia.INFO  that summarizes why she might not be qualified to represent the interests of the U.S., and of U.S. citizens.

I have posted the following, and encourage others to post their feedback of how UCSIS can better serve the interests of current U.S. citizens and U.S. workers.
