Now this burns my buns to a toasty crisp, I have to tell ya. Perhaps being born in this nation shouldn't grant us anything special, but nor should it HURT us to work inside OUR OWN nation. When it is literally cheaper to import visa based labor than hire good 'ol Americans who DO want the work and NEED it to address student loans and professional advancement?? The problem is with a system that knowingly stacks the deck AGAINST us as Americans.
Challenge to Foreign Tech Workers Advanced
That shows how and why they are coming in. It doesn't address how it is cheaper to hire them, and that is where my buns get toasted. Especially since the taxes in question are doing nothing but RISING for us suckers, dumb enough to actually admit we're born American, IN America. (sigh)

Just another day in paradise, eh? Remember this one when you hear someone carry on about jobs Americans won't do. Well....apparently, they never get the chance with some of the best ones.
Challenge to Foreign Tech Workers Advanced
The U.S. scientists at issue belong to the Washington Alliance of Technology Workers, a collective-bargaining organization representing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workers.
They filed suit earlier this year in Washington, D.C., over the Department of Homeland Security's extension in 2008 of a program called Optional Practical Training (OPT), which allows foreign nationals in the U.S. on a student visa to work for a year during and following their college studies.

The Washington Alliance, which notes that employers find foreign workers particularly attractive because they do not require Medicare or Social Security taxes, said Homeland Security exceeded its authority and approved the extensions in "direct contradiction" to provisions in the Immigration and Nationality Act.
As proof that the program harms domestic STEM workers, the alliance noted that three of its members were denied employment because the jobs went to OPT workers instead.
