In the tech and business worlds the issue of H-1B visas is paramount and, with a relevant deadline fast approaching, Ephraim Schwartz thinks at least one of the three most popular candidates would say something about it. “The premise of all three is based on the belief that there is a skills shortage in the United States,” Schwartz writes. But they are not discussing the issue with frequency. It wasn’t exactly simple to track down where each stands, but then Schwartz is not easily deterred. “So, without further ado, and as a public service, here are the candidates statements on H-1B visas.” The three presidential candidates on H-1B. “None talk about the H-1B visa being used as a tactic to hire workers at wages lower than the prevailing market. Rather they imply once the skills shortage of American workers is closed then they would review the H-1B program.”Hmmm. Several readers comment with contrarian viewpoints. What do you think? Should politicians wait on H-1B or act now? Talkback below or via the above link. Technology Industry
