If there is truly a major shortage of skilled tech workers in the US, why did Tesla lay-off over 7,500 American workers last year — including many software developers and engineers at its factory in Austin, Texas—while applying to hire thousands of H-1B guest workers? www.foxnews.com/opinion/sen-...
SEN. BERNIE SANDERS: H1-B visas hurt one type of worker and exploit another. This mess must be fixed
Let's be clear: Multi-billionaire oligarchs in Big Tech should not be allowed to hire guest workers to fill entry-level and mid-level Information Technology jobs.
