As reported at 27B/6:
Just two days after it began accepting applications for H1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services today started turning people away.
OK, so as a society we appear to complain about how immigrants seem to tend to fill only the low-end of the employment totem pole, how high tech industries are outsourcing work to Asia, and how elevated demand for tech workers is leading salaries in certain lines of work to be skewed ridiculously high as compared to other fields.
And the immigration quota for highly skilled workers from abroad is filled in just two days.
Does anyone else see an inconsistency here?
