Hillary 2016: the good, bad and ugly

37. Also add her support for expanding the H-1B and other insourcing indentured servant programs...

We don't need to expand exploitation programs like this that allow companies to insource cheap labor from India for tech jobs that many Americans could do that are out of work, but aren't willing to work for the *cheap* wages that are allowed through this program that allows companies to *control* these employees that work for them here in a way that keeps their wages low. Those in India working here temporarily though don't mind working cheaply for a while when their families back in India can live on a tenth of what American families have to live on here. They build up a savings, and then return to places like Bangalore, which now has replaced Silicon Valley where most of the high tech jobs are, because we TRAIN them through this program, and therefore move our high tech industry over to places like India, China, and southeast Asia.

Now, I'm all for allowing some *sane* immigration policies for those who want to move here and make a commitment to living here, either through getting a green card or getting citizenship here. We should be instead pushing to streamline these programs that aren't working very efficiently now by design so that we can have them working here on an even playing field that doesn't allow corporate America playing games that keeps everyone's wages lower.

Clinton's support for this is yet another reason I as a tech worker that has suffered from this and the economy through recent years can't support her, if a more progressive option is available.
