The IT sector faces the biggest challenge. How will this affect transitioning SM and veterans?

H-1B visas are the greatest scam going against American employees - it's all about the bottom line and executive bonuses, not about what's best for America. Until we get campaign financing under control again expect to see your and your children's future stunted. Hope you like fries with that.

This is why, as an IT professional myself, I've only had jobs with the federal government that require a security clearance. Obviously no foreign nationals are going to hold a clearance!
