Billionaires Beg Joe Biden to Loosen Rules
for Foreign H-1B Visa Workers

Original Article

Posted By: Ribicon, 6/8/2022 10:21:38 PM

A coalition of multinational corporations and the United States Chamber of Commerce is begging President Joe Biden’s administration to loosen rules for foreign H-1B visa workers to pack the labor market with more foreign workers. In a letter to Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the corporate coalition requests the administration allow the spouses and children of foreign H-1B visa workers to take jobs in the U.S. labor market. Multinational corporations, especially those in the tech sector, have routinely lobbied Washington, D.C., politicians to increase the pipeline of foreign workers to the U.S. to keep salaries low in white-collar sectors and eventually outsource jobs

Comments:

We understand that any form of nationalism is bad, very bad, and a nation's people exist merely to be exploited in every way possible by governments and corporations. And so stateless criminals who become unimaginably wealthy by bleeding nations dry are hailed as savvy businessmen maximizing their profits.

The elite’s plan is to outsource as many US jobs as possible to low wage countries, and to fill the US jobs that cannot be outsourced to low wage countries for one reason or another with low wage illegal aliens, a massive wave of who are now being allowed into the USA by Biden and the Democrats.

This hits IT departments especially hard! I have consulted on projects where I managed 1/2 of my staff…from India! Some are great people but I guarantee that not one of them ever worked in a grocery store or walked steel beams! They are all the upper 1% of the Caste system! Get jobs for Americans and quit giving out free money!

There is a shortage of engineers - well, of engineers that are willing to work for near minimum wage that is. They started the shortage claim in about 1990 with a National Science Foundation report that was exposed as a fraud in a congressional hearing. The report claimed there would be a shortage in about 10 to 20 years. But that was a lie. They had manipulated the data. But the congress ignored the fraud that was revealed in the hearing, pretended it was all true, and immediately passed laws to hugely increase the number of H1-B's. Wages for the H1-B's were about 1/3 of the typical wages for an American engineer. Paying an H1-B less than American salaries is actually illegal. Replacing your American workers with H1-B's is illegal. My entire department was fired and replaced with H1-B's. We reported it to the government but they did not care and actually reprimanded us for even complaining. There were guys in my department that lost their homes. This had the effect of driving engineering wages down over the next 25 years. Down to the point that your average college student no longer sees engineering as a viable career path to make good money. So fewer Americans get engineering degrees. And now there is a shortage. I graduated in 1980. Starting salary was typically 25k. Adjust for inflation and today that would be about 125k. But starting salary for an engineer today is about 65k. About half what it should be.

VISA'S! More VISA'S? Biteme let two million illegals across the southern border who will work for peanuts, and these corporate clowns want more visa's for foreign workers? From what I'm hearing, there are 11 million American citizens out of work. How about hiring and training them. Every foreign worker no matter what education they've had or experience doing a job, is going to need to be trained to do whatever job the company is hiring them to do. Why not just hire U.S. citizens and eliminate the language problems that are sure to crop up with a foreign worker.

Former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is revealing for the first time the extent of her revulsion at former President Donald Trump's inability to 'do what he could have done' to try to counter the events of January 6th, she said in a new interview. DeVos resigned her post on Jan. 7, 2020–calling the riot the previous day and Trump's rhetoric an 'inflection point.' Now in a new interview promoting a book, she says she discussed using the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office–and says she faulted Trump for failing to 'address the situation.' She even raised the 25th Amendment issue directly with Vice President Mike Pence,

Biden administration is 'indirectly paying

The U.S. is indirectly paying an airline controlled by the Taliban to fly out Afghans seeking safety, according to a new report, following the chaotic departure of American troops last year. Washington is committed to helping rescue Afghans who helped U.S. forces or who fear for their lives after working for the former government. But with no diplomatic representation in the country it is reliant on Qatar, which maintains relations with the Taliban, to make arrangements to fly Afghans out of the country en route to the U.S. Four sources told NBC News that Qatar is buying plane tickets in bulk from Ariana Afghan Airlines, the country’s state-owned airline.

The Air Force revealed there's a design flaw in former President Donald Trump's wish to paint the presidential plane in his signature red, white and dark blue colors. Trump's plan for the two new 747s being built into flying White Houses called for the underside of the plane and its engine area to be painted dark blue. But that could contribute to excessive temperatures on the plane, a problem that Boeing would have to pay out-of-pocket to fix, Politico reported. Boeing has already lost nearly $1.1 billion so far in converting two 747 aircraft into new Air Force Ones and its CEO has expressed regret at taking on

A U.S. senator was stunned during his recent border trip when he saw an illegal immigrant who’d just jumped the boundary in a Versace dress. Sen. James Lankford, fresh off a Memorial Day trip to the border in Yuma, Arizona, reported back to colleagues this week on the piles of wall-building materials he saw rusting in the elements, just a mile down the road from a gap in the border wall where migrants could pour through with ease. The Oklahoma Republican said illegal crossers will step over the boundary and wait for Border Patrol agents to come pick them up, figuring—usually correctly—that they’ll be processed and quickly released

It wasn’t that long ago when the left’s narrative on ‘gay rights’ was simple, straightforward, and easy to support: Let’s all be tolerant of one another, live and let live, and don’t discriminate. Tolerance is, after all, one of the fundamental tenets of the philosophy which drove America’s founding. But as the saying goes, “give someone an inch and they’ll take a mile,” which is the situation in which we find ourselves today. The message of ‘tolerance’ eventually morphed into ‘acceptance.’ At some point late in the Obama Administration, our culture decided that it was inadequate to merely tolerate the shenanigans of the LGBTQ community, we needed to welcome them.

Speculation is rife concerning the possible presidential candidates representing the two major parties as the nation approaches the 2024 elections. Everyone has an opinion, and the pundits are competing in the expertise sweepstakes. What can we say with some degree of plausibility? The Democrat roster is, by all accounts, dramatically uninspiring. Biden, who speaks in tongues, is plainly beyond redeeming; the question is whether he will manage to survive the year, let alone stumble, lollop, and whiffle to the end of his first term. Kamala Harris belongs in vaudeville or farce, given her talent for provoking laughter. Both will have to be retired in favor of an electable candidate. But who?

I figured driving the brand-new Kia EV6 I'd rented would be a piece of cake. If, that is, the public-charging infrastructure cooperated. We wouldn't be the first to test it.
