"Our entire IT department was ordered to train our replacements, who were Tata India employees on H-1B/L-1B visas...[We] were given a small severance and a pink slip. Our extremely diverse department was replaced with an all-young, male foreign workforce"

"It was the most demoralizing time of my career. I had three Indian trainees, each of whom learned a different facet of my job. None had near the knowledge or experience as me, but they were cheaper."

Hear from a US worker who was replaced by Big Tech:

"We have no voice in Washington. There are 500 lobbyists for Big Tech, for cheap labor via the H-1B, L-1, OPT, and H4 EAD programs. Who wants to hear from us?"

We heard from 11 Americans who have struggled since being replaced by guestworkers:

LIVE THREAD: President Trump is currently announcing his immigration plan.
"Democrats are proposing open borders, lower wages, and lawless chaos. We are proposing an immigration plan that puts the jobs, wages, and safety of American workers first. Our proposal is pro-American, pro-immigrant, and pro-worker." -@realDonaldTrump
"Our plan achieves two critical goals. First, it stops illegal immigration and secures the border. And second, it establishes a new legal immigration system that protects American wages, promotes American values, and attracts best and brightest." -@realDonaldTrump

Our report showing that immigrants with foreign degrees are less skilled when tested than US degree holders was challenged by @WalterAEwing of @immcouncil.

Ewing claims that the desirability of H-1Bs disproves the test results. That makes little sense.
cis.org/Richwine/Respo…
Perhaps the oddest part about Ewing's attack on our analysis of standardized test results is that he spends most of his piece defending H-1B visa holders--even though these tests cannot distinguish H-1Bs from any other type of "high-skill" immigrant.

cis.org/Richwine/Respo…
If @immcouncil is right--and the H-1B visa really does bring us many brilliant minds--let's agree to require evidence, in the form of standardized tests, from every future H-1B applicant. We're sure the American Immigration Council will join us on that.

At 10 am, Andrew Arthur, our Resident Fellow in Law and Policy, will be testifying before the House Judiciary Committee regarding Dreamers and TPS.

"I have yet to encounter even one idea from the other side that would give us a long-term solution to illegal entry, fraud, and visa abuse. When I ask my colleagues what their solutions are, they just tell us to pass the DREAM Act." -@RepDougCollins

"The '86 amnesty was followed by another temporary amnesty in 1994, two more which failed in '97, another in '98, and two in 2000...Every amnesty brings more illegal immigration and demands for another amnesty." -@RepKenBuck

#Samosa ,a very popular dish in India was actually originated in middle East.
Abolfazl Beyhaqi (995-1077) an #Iranian historian mentioned it in his book" Tarikh-e Beyhaghi"
It was introduced to the #Indian subcontinent in the 13th or 14th century by traders from #CentralAsia.
#Samosa A dish with a savoury filling, such as spiced #potatoes, onions, peas, or lentils.
It may take different forms, including triangular, cone, or half-moon shapes, depending on the region.
The #Indian style, often accompanied by a chutney, is probably the most widely-known
The word #Samosa
(Hindi
समोसा /Urdu سموسہ )
can be traced to the #persian #sanbosag ( سنبوساگ)
The #pastry's name in other countries can also derive from this root, such as the crescent-shaped #Sanbusak or sanbusaj in the #Arab world. Or
"#Sambosa" in #Afghanistan

#India And #Pakistan In The Last 24 Hours

Indian government says it is not sending any representative for the Pakistan National Day celebrations at the #PakistanHighCommission in New Delhi. Official boycott.
Men dressed in civilian clothes stood outside #Pakistan High Commission today evening, just reminding all invitees to the Pakistan National Day celebrations that Indian govt had boycotted the event. "Entirely up to you if you want to attend it, but we thought you should know."
I was told the same thing to which I say that I understand and ask them for the way into the HC. "So you're going?" to which I respond in affirmative. They ask my name, take down my car number and clear the way.

#India's HAL designs two-in-one plane to train in peace, fight during war - Meet SPORT "Supersonic Omni Role Trainer Aircraft", basically a Tejas MK-1 "Light" stripped of high end sensors & avionics & configured as a trainer. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/hal-desi…
From cruise missiles to laser-guided bombs, antiship missiles to smart weapons & modern radars and avionic systems, a new aircraft designed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) promises a lot. The plane, for which design work is complete, doubles as a fighter trainer.
The IAF has not made any demand for it. HAL CMD R Madhavan recently said HAL no longer waits for IAF’s requirements. "We're confident of doing R&D and offering a product. We're even looking at markets outside,” he said.

#India #KakoriTrainRobbery #History has it that A staunch Sanatani Arya Samaji, Cow protector, young poet and writer who rose from extreme poverty, and was involved in Shuddhukaran or reconversion of People to #Hinduism, met a nationalist, progressive #Muslim (yes, they exist).
#History has it that they became friends who couldn’t live without one another. A day when the #Muslim friend suffered a fit, he went down crying “Ram, Ram” which shocked his family. Later they realised he was chanting his friend’s name. #India
The two friends were great sons of #India Ram Prasad #Bismil and #Ashfaqullah Khan Warsi. They become friends, they lived and died together. #History has it that in his short life where he faced huge treacheries , #Ashfaq was the one who #Bismil trusted as soul brother.
