2) None shall be issued for positions with companies involved in any government activities, including finance.
3) All positions must have been publicly and widely posted on a government-controlled jobs board for at least 6 months.
4) The employers will pay a fee directly into Social Security equal to the salary offered for each position every year.
5) No retirement benefits of any kind are to be offered. Salaries will be deducted from to fund retirements for citizen employees.
6) No position will be open ended. Maximum of a 5-year term.
7) Applicants must return to their home country and no longer be employed by any US company for a period of no less than 1 year before beginning any citizenship process.
8) All positions filled by an H-1B holder to be continually advertised on the aforementioned jobs board to citizens seeking employment, and will be terminated and required to return to their home country once a citizen employee is hired.
9) Any person granted an H-1B must wait a minimum of 2 years in their home country before applying for another one.
@dqveed You say in our language, using technology we invented decades ago that most of your people would consider magical even today.
Fuck off, African.
Realize that a significant number of "Irish" from the States are going back a century or more before the partition. I took the time to educate myself, but many don't. My family came here from what was then Ireland, so were considered "Irish" but we're closer to being Ulster Scots, having fled Scotland in 1646, yet also being Catholic. Americans like things simple. Sadly, history is rarely so.
