While this was certainly great what @realDonaldTrump did for the TVA workers, there are many American tech workers who continue to see their jobs outsourced & eventually off-shored.

We need laws & regulations that prevent this from happening in the first place.#RNC2020Convention
What about the AT&T, Verizon, Disney, UCSF, Vanguard, & etc, workers who saw their jobs outsourced to H-1B dependent IT bodyshops? Who’s saving their jobs?

The ‘fissuring’ business model coupled with the H-1B visa program are in serious need of reform & regulation. ImageImageImageImage
While there’s no doubt Joe Biden’s immigration plan would be disastrous for American workers, the Trump Admin has been quite lacking in bringing about any real changes to the rules & regulations governing work visa programs. POTUS has appointed the swamp to high level positions. ImageImageImage

AI isn’t taking your job; India is.

NYT: “… tariffs reduce trade by making goods more expensive; they don’t affect services or offshoring, the practice of hiring workers overseas… Indian workers are doing the kind of jobs that Americans workers envy — for American companies.” Image
Major American tech companies, along with leading American banks, proudly highlight their large offices in India and remain unconcerned about Trump’s tariffs. They believe his focus is mainly on the $46 billion trade deficit, rather than on the offshoring of professional jobs. Image
Why are American companies offshoring to India? It’s for cheap labor of course, which corporate admits saves costs. But that doesn’t stop reporter @travelli from pushing the debunked “labor shortage” propaganda. Imagine claiming this amid mass tech layoffs in the U.S. right now. Image

🧵You thought the H-1B visa was bad? Wait until you hear about the largest guest worker program killing jobs for new American college grads—the Optional Practical Training (OPT):

• No caps
• Employers get payroll tax exemptions
• No wage requirements

@NumbersUSA explains:
OPT was originally a 1-year work permit for international students graduating from U.S. colleges to gain U.S. work experience to take back to their home countries. It was never meant as a permanent immigration pathway, but rather a short-term opportunity for skill development Image
OPT was intended as a short-term work permit, but it evolved into a tool to secure U.S. jobs and a pathway to for securing long-term work visas like the H-1B. Employers saw OPT workers as desperate, willing to do anything for H-1B sponsorship before their permit expired.

A federal investigation is underway after a senior official from @GovKathyHochul’s office flagged fraud involving dozens of state-contracted programming "consultants" who falsified their educational credentials.

The suspects: H-1B visa workers from India hired by outsourcing firms.Image
Image
A tech recruiter claims Indian students are falsifying bank statements and transcripts to get visas, with some paying others to attend job interviews for them. Once hired, they have someone in India do all the work because they are incapable of doing the work themselves. Image

An Indian citizen charged for receiving kickbacks for hiring fraudsters is pleading with U.S. authorities for his Green Card petition to proceed while his criminal case is pending in court. This highlights the massive fraud contributing to the Green Card backlog for Indians. Image

Here’s a reason why stapling a Green Card to a diploma is a bad idea:

An international student from India falsified transcripts, bank documents, and a death certificate for his father as part of a grand scheme to obtain a student visa and a full-ride scholarship to Lehigh. Image
The troubling part is he would have gotten away with the fraud had he not admitted his sins on Reddit by also *naming* the university where he attended. A Reddit moderator reported it to the university and from there, it wasn’t hard to deduce who the fraudster was. Image
Fabricating documents is a common occurrence to obtain legal immigration benefits. This is one of the reasons why “illegal bad, legal good” is a pointless argument — the LEGAL system is also being scammed!

This guy got caught for being dumb. Now imagine the numbers of got-aways.

Bodycam footage released by the Hoboken Police shows them arresting two female international students from India for alleged shoplifting at a ShopRite. Both are graduate students at Stevens Institute of Technology (@FollowStevens) and are repeat shoplifters.

“Will this affect us for H-1B process?” one of them asks as they’re being transported to get booked at the police station.
“Will this affect us for H-1B process or any job?”

Officer: “Yes! If they run your information, it’s going to show that you were arrested.”
Their names haven’t been released. According to Indian media, they hail from the Telugu region of India.

The Telugu region has been the largest source for outsourcing labor and student visas. Lots of cases of immigration fraud coming out of there.

🧵 Paul Krugman has been activated by the Biden administration to gaslight Americans into believing all that chaos at the border, which has resulted in millions of illegal aliens being released into the country, has actually been good for the economy.

Let’s debunk his thread…
Looks like @zerohedge was right when they said all the new jobs created under Biden went mostly to foreign-born workers.

Krugman saying that’s a good thing because it reduced inflation is ironic because it’s coming from the guy who says immigration doesn’t lower wages.
Considering working-age Americans are dropping out of the labor force, the prudent thing to do would be to figure out why and take steps to help get those Americans into the workforce — not replace them with foreigners!

Also, more than half think jobs aren’t “plentiful”.
