@kausmickey To @WSJ. non-HS grads and E.E. PhD’s are both such unmitigated boons to the U.S., to question either is beyond pale.
Claims that the entrepreneurship of these immigrants create more jobs here are well meaning or well paid nonsense. The entrepreneurial first do the obvious – move as many jobs as they can to their own low wage countries.

‘even the strongly pro-H-1B Berkeley professor AnnaLee Saxenian found that more than 80% of the Indian and Chinese engineers in Silicon Valley share technological information with firms in their home countries, with over half investing in tech back home.’
When H-1B started 25 years ago China was technologically backward. Now they threaten their neighbors in the nearby seas with advanced weapons, causing an expensive and dangerous U.S. pivot.
‘In the past four years, nearly 100 individual or corporate defendants have been charged by the Justice Department with stealing trade secrets or classified information for Chinese entities or exporting military or dual-use technology to China, according to court records. A number of other cases involving China remain under seal, according to the Justice Department.’

400 American programmers were recently fired at Southern California Edison and forced to train their replacements – cheaper workers from an Indian ‘body shop’ on H-1B visas – in order to get their severance pay.

‘The U.S. Labor Department will not investigate allegations that Southern California Edison Co. abused a popular visa program for skilled foreign workers, according to senators who requested the probe.’
