I think it's nuts to kick productive people out of a country.
Yes, the job market is tough coming straight out of college, but it's not easier for foreigners. Generally, they have more trouble because of concerns about actual English fluency and potential hurdles over their legal status.
The answer, as with almost everything, is to unshackle our industries from the endless government red tape. Then, they'd be hiring up everyone who's even remotely qualified.
It is their job because of fiduciary duties to generate the most profit possible. If that means foreigners for new employees, I guess that is what they have to do. They have no choice if that is an avenue open to them. That is why they do it!

Hiring people based on their competency would be better than hiring based on qualifications they want.
Degrees are become worth less and less as you gain experience in your field.
reply
That's true and it's part of why getting hired right out of college is such a bad experience: no one knows if you're worth hiring yet and they treat you accordingly.
reply
Right, and this is why the USA suffers a lot.
We have our thinking backwards.
We could be building a stronger workforce, but we dont.
reply
What should we do or change?
serious question
reply
We can start by not asking for all of the qualifications.
Everyone should know a new graduate doesnt have experience.
Pushing people into trades instead of colleges might help a bit.
And these MBA degrees....less of those?
reply
They also cannot use college grades and information from the colleges anymore due to grade inflation and DIE programs. I would not let a current or even a 10-years in practice doctor anywhere near me for fear of life. DIE hires are the death of a company.

The first priority will be to apprehend and deport criminals and felons.
Second priority will be to deport those who already have deportation orders against them.
reply
That's pretty reasonable

How about third: deport H1B green card holders.
reply
almost impossible to deport green card holders unless they commit a serious crime
reply
That is very easy to change! Just make new immigration laws or modify ones on the books that nobody seems to follow.
reply
easier and more important to pause or cut the number of new work visas and green cards approved in the present and future
reply
Yeah, you could do that and also throw those whose green cards have expired out. That would be easy, too. Fine the companies hiring them hefty enough amount to make it unprofitable to hire H1Bs.
