I get angry when I think of how he has been treated by Washington...in fact how that entire state has been treated. I think all of the judges who dismissed his lawsuit and overturned the state immgration laws there should have to go there to live as average citizens for a year and then revisit those cases.

The US is a large country, different regions have vastly different problems. Judges who are not able to view things from the local as well as national persepctive just have no business being on the bench

just wait...in a few years we will be seeing Washington saying that the sheriff and the governor have been right all along

RE: immigrant go home !!

quite honestly, I would not go near Miami or within 50 miles unless it was life or death situation of some kind....

mainly because it has been destroyed....a lot of the crime in Fla is also those same criminals you speak of preying on the elderly who go there to retire.

But the main point I was making is that most of the industry hype in the media about HB1 workers is false. At least in IT it is.

Also because of the huge problems that illegal migration has caused here in US, I no longer agree with Redo's statement that because someone is born here (or in the UK or any where) they should be allowed to stay. We need to change birthright citizenship to where one parent has to be a legal citizen (residing here permanently). The problems of ILLEGAL migration outweigh any potential benefits. Any politican or leader who can't see that is in for trouble in 2016...lol

RE: immigrant go home !!

I like your post but there is one interesting misconception. There is no shortage of IT workers. EMployers promite this misconception because they want to hire thru the HB 1 Visa program (which should be ended)because they can pay those workers less than market value and they never complain because if they lose their jobs they have to go home! That not only impacts our skilled IT workers by depressing salaries in some sectors of IT but it also prevents many of our new grads from finding optimal employment.

My sons are in IT and engineering and very lucky to have great jobs. But I defintely have firsthand knowledge and know that everything I am saying is true. I have seen all of these things happen firsthand. I also watch annually as thousands of Americans graduate with IT degrees...lol. Employers should have a much stricter burden of proof to hire HB1'ers in IT.

Sometimes, occasionally we see a need for gap IT workers....older workers where there is a gap in knowledge of things like COBOL and AS/400 prgramming that are legacy systems. The answer there is hire our own IT retirees, or older workers.

The other fields you mentioned I do not know as much about, but what I have seen in IT biases me to think it is probably also true in other sectors. We of course admire immigrants who are hignly skilled but it is a fallacy that we do not have enough highly skilled people here already.
