I had inside access to federal hiring during the Obama Admin. I was privy to lots of info not seen by average Americans. I was and am convinced that Obama saw to it that USCIS was stocked with nothing but people originally from the third world and Muslim countries. I was curious when I would see new hire after new hire having been born in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Indonesia, Haiti, Domincan Republic, et. al. The smaller percentage of U.S.-born new hires were of Central American-Hispanic background. In non-STEM federal hiring, whites need not apply. For STEM federal hiring, only whites with specific STEM expertise should bother applying.
I’d love to know more. If it’s too “hot” for public dissemination, send me an email.
One of my boys had, from a very low-level grad STEM viewpoints, similar things to say about impediments to hiring where grant money was concerned. He also had some juicy things to say about H1-B abuse, which I didn’t expect. Happy to share on my end.
