There are a few things that keep me employed, but those things are getting FEWER and FEWER, and one of these days, I suspect I will be forced out of a TECHNICAL role into a business or management role. I DREAD the thought.

It used to be that these jobs were simply outsourced overseas, and companies COULD get away with hiring whole legions of technical folks OVER SEAS.

Now though.............LOTS of companies sponsor H1-B visas, and bring them here. While they are LEGAL, They are displacing AMERICAN workers who WANT the job.

I was content as a contractor doing carpentry work.I made a very good living,took care of my family,had a tad bit of freedom,and then the Hispanics invaded working for pennies and doing shoddy work. The General Contractors didn't mind as long as work got completed fast and cheap,never mind the quality or the fact that Legal Americans wanted the work.
Personally,I consider the way our politicians have sold our jobs out to lobbyist's from every country except the USA to be a form of Treason and the Traitors should be treated as such.I have lost all respect for the president,the house,the senate,and cabinet members.I hope everyone sticks together and sends a message that is not about party lines or race,but about ending the blood letting from those who are supposed to serve us.
