    So it includes H1b in the data set or no? Sounds like it does and you still haven't responded to my comment that productivity increases can be linked to tech improvements and systems improvements without increasing salary.

    Second, you don't need a graph to showcase that a company underpays H1b visa holding employees. They choose them specifically for their high skill set & low labor expense. This is on every single financial statement in this country.

    That's what you get for abusing the program.

    Its not the State's duty to enforce immigration that is under the federal purview and the Feds don't have the legal authority to force a state to do their job for them.

    You should know this. It was a major part of National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius

    CA isn't circumventing law, they're declining to do the Federal government's job for them, which is their prerogative.

    Yeah I like citizens vested in the local region. I don't want to see that many temporary foreigners. Not everyone is obsessed with global transience.

    Its always fun to see conservatives suddenly argue for laws making goods and services more expensive.

    No, its forbidding state law enforcement from cooperating with the feds. No one is asking them to do the job for them.

    Jesus wells....do you hold any policy position that doesn't put america into a disadvantage or make us weaker as a nation?

    Which again, is their prerogative. States can't be compelled to do the federal government's job. Immigration policy and enforcement is the Federal Government's job.

    A dataset that showcases what exactly? A comparison between a non H1b employee and a H1b employee with the same job title, and then their respective industry-specific productivity to highlight that someone from India does more and get's paid less than someone of equivalent stature from the US with company/industry specific productivity standards?

    Yeah, I wish and good luck getting that comprehensive answer. For now, you'll have to just trust that the Financial analysts who do salary level analysis on the salary line for his/her company and creates the FTE budgets for the year knows the answer, and the answer is uniform across industries.

    Don't worry, gravity exists too.

    My claim regarding productivity is that a foreigner on an H1b can do 300 claims in an hour and you can pay him significantly less than an American who does 10 claims in an hour.
    Are we going to go around in circles on this or are you going to actually back up your position?

    CA sends more money to the Fed than we get back, so the current thought, is if he does put any sanctions in, we just take that money out of the tax we pay to the Fed.

    Fine.

    With the exodus of businesses and productive people that would move to other states to get out of CA i almost hope CA would just break away.

    Lol let me know how that new gas tax works out for your poor.

    We've been hearing about all the businesses leaving for decades, due to taxes, liberalism, etc. Hasn't happened yet.
    It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

    I'm not sure what you think a citation is, but its not repeating your premise.

Well, not that you need a passion but those foreign workers/students always tended to score higher in everything compared to native.

    Not to say American students/workers are dumb as there's still good talent out there but STEM is being flooded with people that have no place being there.
    Due to large competition in the employee pool many never feel secure in their position. Likewise this had led to a rise in the "We'll only hire if you've already done this" bit which has prevented many young from getting careers in their chosen fields since there was always a significant pool of foreign experienced to fill positions who will fill those positions for less that.

    H1B prevents the populace from rising and bettering themselves.

    Im absolutely serious.

    Every policy you seem to advocate makes us weaker as a nation to the benefit of others. Why do you even live here?

    I wholeheartedly agree with this.
