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

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”.

🧵 Apple pays $25M fine for finding ways to disqualify Americans from applying for jobs so they could help their H-1B visa foreign workers obtain employment-based Green Cards for “permanent” job positions.

More proof “high-skill” immigration is a scam.

These tech companies claim they can’t find American talent to fill these job openings. Then why are they going to through the trouble to ensure Americans can’t apply for these jobs? Why is a tech company forcing Americans to apply for jobs through regular paper mail?

Remember DOJ prosecuting Facebook (now Meta) for exactly the same thing in 2020? Just like Apple, Facebook hired immigration lawyers to find ways to disqualify Americans from obtaining jobs that were reserved for H-1B visa workers looking for Green Card sponsorship. Image

.@VivekGRamaswamy’s immigration policy is basically anyone who can prove they’ll be a net economic benefit and can pass some form US civics test before obtaining a visa.

There are over a billion people who could easily fit this requirement.

The only points that matter when discussing immigration policy are:

• the numbers
• qualifications/quality of the immigrants
• what’s best for the American people

Vivek’s policy already fails the first and third point.

The numbers matter!
“Bring in people who are actually in love with this country”

How exactly are you going to determine that? To obtain a Green Card, people are willing to just lie about anything in order to obtain one.

The Naturalization test is a complete joke — answers given beforehand to be… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

These people think immigration is the source of the problem of why TSMC can’t find qualified workers in the US when the actual issue is semiconductor fabrication plants require a specific skill set that has largely been concentrated in Taiwan because that’s where the bulk of chip… https://t.co/fSJHfFWOOztwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Here’s what’s really going on with TSMC’s skills “shortage”:

TSMC set up shop in Taiwan and trained Taiwanese workers. Over time, these Taiwanese workers developed a skill set comparative advantage because chip mfg was largely concentrated to them: https://t.co/0MK7WzMytoarstechnica.com/tech-policy/20…

So when TSMC decides to suddenly open up chip factories in the US without having done the necessary process to ramp up local workers with the skills required to run such an intricate manufacturing plant, it’s obviously going to run into a workers shortage problem. Stapling a… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
