Being foreign born has nothing to do with it. Tunnel Rat is "foreign born" for pete's sake, but he's a long time US CITIZEN. CNBC used the term "foreign born" so that people who didn't know would think that the bill was about national origin, and Ron Hira didn't even pick up on that. It has nothing to do with national origin, it has to do with citizenship. That's a night and day difference.

There is a world of difference between someone who is "foreign born" and someone who is an alien. The use of the term is deliberately misleading SPIN. The bill they are discussing doesn't address the "foreign born," it addresses ALIENS. A citizen is a citizen whether (s)he is decended from the Mayflowerites or received naturalization papers yesterday. CNBC's spin deliberately misleads by making it sound as though the bill is designed to discriminate based on national origin, and then attacks the bill with the help of Whadwa on that basis. It's a total sham, and Hira didn't even pick up on it. Pretty lame.

Here is what I emailed Wadhwa after he wrote some more propaganda in the Wash. Post: <i>"I have 15 years in the programming business, with top skills, and I have seen my wages decline every year -- it is occupational apartheid at the hands of mostly upper-caste Hindus. Call me politically incorrect, just don't call me a coward. It is the truth, and for over ten years 200,000 American programmers have suffered the humiliation of being displaced by low-skill, low-wage H-1B imports, almost exclusively from India. The monopoly of the IT profession by the mostly Indian H[indu]-1B lobby must stop. So few of those imports can communicate in English, much less code. And their phony "CVs"!!!! What a riot. 24-yr olds with 10 years of experience!!! And the idiot American I.T. managers drool over these guys, because they are docile, humble, and meek -- unlike the skilled U.S. developer, who maybe cocky yet talented and creative. There is no "programmer shortage" -- just a shortage of American I.T. executives with integrity and gonads. And their sycophant, eat-their-young capitalists are helping to eliminate the American programmer from the industry. And you aren’t helping matters by promoting this myth, along with the stereotype that Americans can’t be engineers, programmers and scientists. I have a daughter and know that she will have a hard time becoming a software developer if the industry continues to monopolized by nepotistic and misogynist Indian males. In addition, you are supporting a program that results in the exploitation of many Indian immigrants. They come here, get their passports confiscated, and then are forced to live in squalor while they work as indentured servants for corporate America. You should be ashamed of yourself for being a propagandist for this corrupt and abused program."</i> I doubt I will get a response. And to think that this guy teaches at Duke! Americans, hide your children from the curry-scented pod-people. Welcome to the insurgency. Nice post, and I am putting this blog on my blogroll.

Grrr this guy makes me mad! Vivek needs to get his head out of his azz, the H1B program is a total sham. Best and the brightest had NOTHING to do with it, it is all about cheaper labor. The Indians are lazy, NOT the Americans - they can't develop their own country, they are depending on the US. UGH! I’m one of the Pfizer employees that had to train my replacement!

I don't think that CNBC, had any idea how powerful Hira's description of the facts about H-1B dependent employers would be. Calm, cool and collected is the way to win this policy debate.
