People like Hany here thought that if they constantly threatened to end programs, changed the law with precious little notice, and imposed punitive fees, companies would shrug and there would be full Heritage STEM employment. They believed that companies could and should conduct ongoing recruitment to replace existing workers based on nationality, which is a violation of the Civil Rights Act. Companies were expected to expend resources training up unqualified U.S. workers. When a company needs a worker, they argue that the job was created collectively and thus the employer cannot make the final hiring decision. It is no different from Obama telling companies they "didn't build" their own businesses. Although they are only now realizing it, offshoring has consistently ramped up since Vivek's infamous tweet. The only thing they have actually accomplished is sending jobs abroad. In fact, this is likely to cost Americans jobs; anyone assigned to a team with foreign workers will be let go when the entire team moves to India. How they didn't see it coming is a wonder. It's the only reasonable response from a U.S. employer, and you cannot simply tax them into submission. These idiots are driving our economy into the gutter, blind with hate for 2% of the total workforce.
