Silicon Valley executives say Trump's visa restrictions could damage the U.S. tech industry’s competitiveness and ultimately jeopardize domestic job creation

Silicon Valley executives criticized President Trump’s order suspending new immigration on several employment-based visas programs, warning it could damage the U.S. tech industry’s competitiveness and ultimately jeopardize domestic job creation.

The temporary ban, announced Monday, includes the H-1B type of visa for high-skilled workers many tech companies employ. Apple Inc. Chief Executive Tim Cook, Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk and Sundar Pichai, boss of Google-parent Alphabet Inc., were among the executives who criticized the...

I thought tech was going to continue a remote workforce?

Crock of shit

Liars. They just want to import cheap labor.

$ull$hit !

Dumb Apple CEO stop making iPhones in China

when Trump saw what this idiot said, he probably thought KISS MY ASS!

Train local talent and thus fill up the job losses ,always depending on out side talent is not good for the nation 😊😷

H1b program has been abused by corporations and should end. Any foreigner w/ a pulse can get a h1b and replace any red blooded American for any job. Such practice is prevalent by large IT firms..

Have you guys looked at the salaries of H1b employees recently ? They are anything but cheap

Can’t believe these sell outs anymore!

MHackman 'Talent' ? 29% of Google H1B hires BS 59% of Google H1B hires MS 08% of Google H1B hires PhD ------------------------------------- 100% = 14,796 H1B , FY 2012-2018 [1].sundarpichai USCIS USDOL DHSgov HomelandKen ICEgov [1]

Bullshit

Japan makes a quality vehicle for a reasonable price and the CEOs make about 19 times a base workers salary, in the USA it is about 315 times a base workers salary, maybe that is where they could save money first? A bean counter won’t admit they’re the problem!

working for one of these large tech cos. Budgets per dept are all set. They have to spend that or they lose it. They can hire mericans but bs that they need to go outside. All lies, it’s also much cheaper to hire out.

covid-19

Yup yup

The situation is hopeless. I don't know what can help me, only suicide. 3 bitcoins that can change my life wallet address in my profile

Why doesn’t Silicon Valley invest in education here growing our own? Should have started that years ago.

A couple of bumps in the road and Silicon Valley wants to jump ship. They want to go create jobs elsewhere, just to get back at Trump. Thank you Silicon Valley for proving me wrong about you. 😔

victimism

More accurately... Silicon Valley executives say Trump's visa restrictions on cheap foreign labor could damage the U.S. tech industry’s profitability and ultimately jeopardize executive compensation

A private company who sponsor visas for skilled personal contributes to the domestic job creation or we are just talking 2 topics at once?

kuku27 This adequately proves, America on its own is incapable of developing with own well educated folks,who have superior education,must remain jobless and under debt. This can't be. Make or perish but not at cost of sweat shops and cheap labor from other countries, shame

Is that Tim Apple?

That’s just too bad.

They don’t want to lose their slaves. The irony is thick.

Seriously, did you expect them to say something different?

kuku27 Corporates are now used to paying very low wages to outsiders, depriving own citizens of jobs, now estimated to be over half million. They need to sponge big money for nothing, it is criminal attitude. This is self destructive for nation as a whole

Hire Americans first

fuck them. They should invest on Americans of all diverse groups that are ready to work without liberal insanity rather than choosing to become cocky. What a sexy way of saying we prefer cheap labour. Hypocrites

Trump thinks he got a two-for-one in said order : another distraction and revenge.

Welcome to Canada as Big tech Giants all have offices in Canada workfromnewlocation

What it means is less cheap labor for tech firms. Hire our people first.

Hire American workers. You’ll be fine. A lot college grads that need jobs like right now.

One would think we should take this opportunity to find people state side who can provide the necessary innovative skills that these companies need. Project_Veritas alert already let spited everyone the Facebook doc revealing their diversity initiative taking US jobs away

American kids are just as trainable as the H1B holders. Teach and work with people already here. You are not creating that many jobs. Don’t pick the easy and cheap way out.

Perhaps greater efforts to hire Americans. The excuse that these are only jobs Americans wouldn’t do doesn’t hold water. Of course the billionaires that benefit don’t want this to go away.

There are a lot of very bright Americans that you could hire.

Jobs are moving to Canada.

They don’t want to hire Americans because it will be bad for their quota?

And not save lower wage jobs. These visas are for high skill work. They're trying to frame it like 'we're saving middle class and lower class jobs' when it's really hurting growth industries and not protecting unskilled labor at all. It's for show.

Hire US college grads who majored in computer science and engineering then
