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

This news has surprisingly not rung the alarm bells that it deserves:
@USCIS is going to be rewarding EAD permits (Green Card Lite) to hundreds of thousands of H-1B workers that includes their spouses & children. A surprising move during an election year.

Rumors suggest that USCIS was hesitant to carry out this procedure but received a push to do so by Chris Liddell, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff & former CFO of Microsoft.

Once the EAD permits are issued, they provide PERMANENT residency to the foreign workers.

The EAD rewards the H-1B workers who displaced US workers. Without proper H-1B reform this EAD "amnesty" is going to open the floodgates for more visa workers (mostly from India) to come in & work for less in exchange for immigration benefits.

Even immigration lawyers are astonished (and rejoicing) that @realDonaldTrump’s admin is doing this given the fact that POTUS issued two EOs that suspended immigration to protect domestic workers in this current economic recession.

This too in an election that’s 36 days away.

There is still hope that @USCIS can rescind this motion. They have done so in the past.
