Leaked Video: Google Admits to Importing 10K Foreign Workers to Take U.S. Jobs bit.ly/2N8Yyga
In the @Google meeting, Vice President of People Operations @EileenTNaughton reveals the extent to which the tech conglomerate has imported and currently employs close to 10,000 foreign workers with plans to expand their foreign workforce population.
Naughton tells the room full of Google employees, who are called “Googlers”:
“First and foremost is immigration. We have nearly 10,000 Googlers in the U.S. on visas.”
“First and foremost is immigration. We have nearly 10,000 Googlers in the U.S. on visas.”
“Very understandably, those of you who are working here and have families here or are in the process of renewing or getting visas are probably very concerned.”
Naughton then explains how President Obama’s administration readily allowed and invited Google and other tech corporations to import foreign workers instead of hiring American citizens.
““So here’s what we know, there is, for the time being, an absent any policy recommendation from the Obama administration, right, there’s no change,” Naughton says. “Googlers should not expect to be hassled, entering the border, there should be no change in your status.”
With more foreign workers entering the U.S. through the visa system, Americans are often replaced and forced to train their foreign replacements. In the last decade, more than 2.6 million H-1B foreign workers were approved to take high-paying U.S. jobs.
This year, alone, Google tried to import more than 5,200 foreign workers to take coveted, high-paying tech jobs in Silicon Valley. This would have added to the already nearly 10,000 foreign workers who are currently employed at Google, as revealed in the leaked video.
Google, along with other tech corporations like Cisco, Microsoft, and Facebook have been exposed for using Indian outsourcing firms like Tata Consulting Services and Infosys to hide the number of H-1B foreign workers they import annually.
Last year, @EricSchmidt — the top executive of Google’s parent company, Alphabet before leaving in January 2018 — said corporations should be allowed to import as many foreign workers as they want, without regard for whether Americans are replaced and displaced in the process.
““The stupidest policy in the entire American political system was the limit on H-1B visas,” Schmidt said at the time.
Analysis conducted last year revealed that despite the growing number of American STEM graduates every year, Americans are vastly outnumbered in Silicon Valley’s tech industry.
About 71 percent of tech workers in Silicon Valley are foreign-born, while the tech industry in the San Francisco, Oakland, and Hayward area is made up of 50 percent foreign-born tech workers.
In 2017, the Trump administration set up an H-1B visa abuse hotline for American workers to email if they or their coworkers were being replaced by foreign workers. Last year, a total of more than 5,000 cases of H-1B visa abuse was reported.
Four million Americans turn 18 years old every year and begin looking for good jobs in the American economy, or enter higher education with the same goal.
For decades, the fed govt has inflated the supply of new labor by annually admitting more than 1.5M new legal immigrants, providing work-permits to roughly 3M resident foreigners and not effectively enforcing national immigration laws to block the employment of about 8M illegals.
