11. Probably won't faze him ...

We have to remember that H1-Bs go to high tech, skilled workers which are a minority of the population. In my estimation, Blue Collar workers could by and large give a shit less about white collar workers unless it's their kid. I've seen it over and over again and it's been reinforced by patronizingly ignorant facades to candidates all working under the "common sense" doctorine.

More H1-Bs ARE a disaster. It takes away the motivation for people to go to college and earn high tech skills when Apu is going to come along and do the job for far less than a union steelworker makes. So ... why bother. Why not just get in line with the rest of the ignorants and put in your time?

That's something you'll NEVER hear a politician say. And our country will continue to become more ignorant and more dependent for it when college no longer pays off.
