@ifspp we bring together civic minded people to advocate on behalf of American workers harmed by employment visa programs & demand Congress enact reforms.

Another false propaganda piece pushing @SenMikeLee's bill, S. 386.

"Utah tech companies have thousands of open jobs and can’t find the talent to fill them."

In a market economy, there are NO long-term labor shortages.

“...Silicon Slopes and for the movement to bring high skilled immigrant labor into the United States and especially into Utah where our economy benefits so much from the skills these people can bring...”

Apparently, American grads lack "skills" that only Indians on H-1Bs have.

.@SenMikeLee keeps pushing the lie that country cap quotas discriminate those from high population countries. First off, India takes the larger share of employment green cards each year (avg. 25%, not 7%). Second, this has ZERO to do with population size, & more to do with ...

... funneling CHEAPER labor from one country (India) through the H-1B visa program that has been entirely monopolized by Indian IT companies that have set up shop on US soil to import thousands of H-1Bs from India every year! Population size has nothing to do with GC backlogs.

“It’s neither conservative nor liberal, neither Republican or Democratic. This is simply an American issue.”

Lets ask the American people of what they really think of your S. 386 bill @SenMikeLee. There's a reason why you have earned the nickname "Senator of Mumbai". #Nos386
