When he was picking experienced people , ya ' ll were complaining about him not draining the swamp . Make up your minds lol . <| sep |> My wording was a little harsh , but I think we are largely in agreement hereSome people are better at trades or prefer physical work . Yes , I agree . I ' m not criticizing those who go to trade school and ply their trade for a good income . I ' m criticizing those who stamp their feet and cry about their lost assembly line jobs . I have nothing against hardworking bluecollar workers who adapt to the new economy and contribute to society in other ways . However , companies here use H 1 B so heavily because there just aren ' t enough Americantrained programmers . The H 1 B is meant for superstar KoreanTaiwaneseIndian professionalsacademics , not for companies to exploit undertrained Indian workers from degree mills . That ' s something Americans can and should fix on our own .
