The H1B issue: Yes, American workers, YOU DO QUALIFY FOR THAT JOB.

[SteveSmithCharlotte]

58. There's always at least one in every crowd

There are people who are inherently contrarians. You say "left". They say "right." You get fired and replaced by an H-1B worker. They say it isn't happening.

If you read the book Airport by Arthur Hailey, one of his characters (Marcus Rathbone) is exactly like the person who wrote the post the Zalatix responds to. If you've only seen the movie, he's the one who says Captain Demerest has no right to take the bomb from Guerrero---then snatches the bomb and hands it back to the bomber.

A number of years ago when I posted about the goings on in H-1B there was a joker (initials JJ) who would follow me around various boards and made a response to every post that I was a racist. He would use the same old canards "According to the Southern Poverty Law Center ..."

Then JJ got fired and replaced by a worker from India on H-1B. I have not seen him on line since.

These guys are everywhere. A friend of mine wrote a book. He showed me an announcement he had made to a board devoted to the book subject where he was a regular participant. Most of the responses were congratulations. There was one Marcus Rathbone who (having never seen the book) was trashing it repeatedly with utterly false accusations. My friend would respond with the facts and Marcus would post another slander.

My friend had never had a run-in with this Marcus before. He was just trashing to be a contrarian.

You see that here repeatedly with H-1B. There is a small handful who will repeatedly post disinformation in order to be contrary.
