House Democrats are hard at work selling out American STEM grads by proposing amendments to the COMPETES Act:

- Staple green card to diplomas of children of H1Bs who major in STEM
- Staple green cards to master's degree STEM grads
- Staple green cards to PhDs in medicine
If you're a #STEM grad who can't find a job due to taxpayer subsidized foreign STEM workers, you can thank these Congress members for supporting expansions to @BarackObama's illegal STEM OPT program:

@RepDeborahRoss
@KathyManningNC
@CongressmanRaja
@RepBera
@RepScottPeters
@BarackObama @RepDeborahRoss @KathyManningNC @CongressmanRaja @RepBera @RepScottPeters And one more "staple green cards to their diplomas" amendment, from @RepBillFoster and @RepPressley.

This is the same as Bill Foster's HR5924 bill cosponsored by Deborah Ross, who never misses an opportunity to sell out her voters in #NorthCarolina.

⚖️ H1B Lottery lawsuit ⚖️

Yesterday plaintiffs submitted their reply to DHS and ITServe's motions for summary judgment, and included exhibits showing DHS was warned about abuse of the #h1blottery electronic registration system. 🧵
Compete America warned about "flooding the system" with duplicate registrations. They predicted good faith users would be harmed and trust in the lottery system would erode.

Information Technology Industry Council expressed the same concerns about flooding the system with phony applications and asked USCIS to clarify how they planned to prevent fraud.

Unsealed FBI interviews with the governor of Vermont!

"Shumlin told federal investigators last April the EB-5 fraud perpetrated at Jay Peak and in Newport was a "huge embarrassment" to him and his administration."
burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/202…
"Shumlin told investigators he took two EB-5-related trips, one to Miami and one to Asia. The Miami event was an EB-5 convention... He had dinner there with Quiros, Kelly and Douglas Hulme, a British national who owned Rapid Visas, a visa processing firm in Florida."
"Shumlin's team would visit project sites and see hundreds of hard hats," investigators wrote. "People at the state thought that the jobs problem in the NEK had finally been solved. Even @BernieSanders showed up at an event."

This is why the H-1B visa is not popular for hiring lawyers. If you treat them as indentured servants (i.e. using the visa as it was designed), they can turn around and sue you.

Sound familiar? Thanks to dual intent, employers can get away with abuses because employees are holding out hope for a green card and will put up with a lot. The #h1b visa is EVIL in so many ways. Reform it or end it @SenatorDurbin @ChuckGrassley @RepJimBanks.
@SenatorDurbin @ChuckGrassley @RepJimBanks This is how #h1b is used to undercut wages. Prevailing wage for lawyer in Chicago is $71k. They paid this woman $55k. This is a perfect case study why we need to issue the H-1B wage rule @SecMartyWalsh @USDOL @POTUS to protect workers and prevent wage abuses.

“Recruitment process outsourcing”

Notice the companies profiled in this market report:

Kenexa (owned by IBM)
Randstad
Kelly Services

taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4420266
KellyOCG sources labor for tech companies by pushing resumes of candidates mostly from India who are supremely unqualified. They attempt try to distract you from how bad the candidates are using local bimbos who escort the candidates to interviews.
Nothing more awkward than trying to administer a technical interview while a blonde from Insight Global or Kelly Outsourcing is sitting next to the candidate trying to look interested in Java.

Then you have to dodge said blonde who stalks you with a bag full of fake resumes.

Add us to the protests. The "IT group" should not have any say in this case. They are the ones who created this problem by illegally selling #H1Blottery tickets in bulk for jobs that don't exist.

law360.com/immigration/ar…
@ITServeorg timed the filing of their motion so the court case would drag on and the March lottery would go on as usual, allowing them to scam the lottery like they did last year.
The Chinese and Indian plaintiffs in the case are afraid that #ITScumAlliance will send their goons after them. In other words, the IT mafia is real.

DHS says they haven't received any input from the public suggesting STEM OPT fields to remove. Let's fix that... ImageImageImage
Send an email to SEVP@ice.dhs.gov with subject line "Attention: STEM CIP Code Nomination" and nominate ALL of the STEM fields for removal. Here is the list for convenience, feel free to attach it to your email.

🤡

We're sure this will be rejected by some pasty faced bureaucrat but it's worth it for the lolz, highly recommend everyone reading this to fire off an email to your unelected deep state workers to let them know what you think of their STEM OPT list... Image
