Try telling this unemployed military
veteran that immigration and work visas are "good for the economy":
Here's a quick rundown of what happened to me. I can't qualify for a job
requiring zero years experience. We're being replaced.
- 6-year
USAF veteran. Honorably discharged in 2011.
- Start new
career in energy in 2011. Shit hits the fan with oil prices and get laid
off in 2016.
- No
problem, chin up, go back to school and finish economics degree. Graduate
early 2018.
- Apply to
job at Hewlett Packard. Wait patiently for response and vigorously apply
elsewhere.
- Get
rejected for a job requiring ZERO years experience. WTF-F-F-F?
- Check out
H1B search position and company. HP has hired 4 people on H1B for the same
job.
- I was
replaced in my own country. The country that I served.
The
war is coming home. If America's soldiers can't find work, then no one should
be surprised if they begin to utilize the skills they learned in the military
against their real enemy, the one that is actually attacking them, their
families, and their way of life.
Jerry Pournelle was right. There will be war.
