Trump Will Stop H1-B Visa Abuse By Multinational Corporations

Again, this strategy in the USA works for corporations because on one hand, it means more people can get jobs and work for thriving corporations. It also means more people of 'diverse cultural backgrounds' can enjoy more opportunities than ever before - even people whose English is limited.

On the other, it means there are fewer 'checks and balances' in the system, undermines union labour and EEO policies, not to mention OS & S; and most important of all, award wages. It forces the workplaces in developed nations to become like those in developing countries, and forces them to compete with each other. And that really sucks .

The purpose of this policy is to crack down on these undermining strategies which only serve to undermine the wages and conditions of people already in the country - the things our elders have had to fight for so that everyone can enjoy good wages and conditions, not just some people or others.

And we face a very similar system here in Australia with the 457 visa system, where we have one set of rules for one group and another set for the other.

Sure, some people get better wages and conditions - but they have also had a better education or training, work longer hours, take higher wages, have to abide by the rules and regulations and follow proper procedure. In turn, there is due process for all, a fair day's work for a fair day's pay and a properly organised and efficient workplace.

Just 'letting people in' - regardless of race or religion - and letting them in ahead of those who have been doing the job longer, and/or been in the country longer - well it kind of disrupts the natural order of things.

It is nice to be afforded the same courtesies as those who have been there, and anyone who gives me a chance, deserves my gratitude - however small that opportunity is. And if the next opportunity is better, than good :)

Also, if you work harder, try to get along, are nice to others, respectful, are smarter, and have common sense - then you deserve better; and if you have stuck around on the job and are patient, then you also deserve priority. And, as a bonus, people may even make allowances for you if you are good.

However, if you are rude and ignorant, make no effort to fit in, are lazy, and you get 'too comfortable' too soon with your host country, or get 'needy', then your hosts will think you have worn out your welcome.

I think this rule applies regardless of where you are from, or what kinds of people are your hosts (no matter how nice the hosts are in the beginning).

And that's my story and I am sticking to it :)
