This is almost over now. How many tech workers will be on food stamps 12 months from now? Did we really want people from a foreign, third world country, in control of our ALL of our information infrastructure?

“I suspect you guys need to interview a certain number of Americans, so you can say, with a straight face, that you sought American candidates for this position and by lying and saying you did not find any (which is impossible to prove), so you can hire some more of your countryman to take more American jobs. Regardless of the pay rate”

Precisely. They know the game and are tasked to pull in the gullible so they can play the statistics with H1-B requests.

Another reason I have nothing to do with the banks listed. You can get a better rate at any credit union then those guys, and if you have to use them, god help you.

Being an American ought to be sufficient to disqualify you. They’re giving all those jobs to foreigners. No Americans need apply.

Sounds like they wanted a submittal of a very high hourly rate so they can say that person was too expensive for the task at hand.

Very interesting.

“Indians are the best computer programmers in the world! And we work harder than the Americans!”

Lazy people hold false conclusions, because lazy people reject research. But lazy people can steal from American systems for their friends, such as IT jobs. Guess who steals all the construction jobs in downtown Los Angeles? Yes, lazy people. And contractors are upset that they cannot get enough quality construction workers. Easy: just do affirmative action for American citizens with American educations.

The next life will separate the sheep (ethical citizens) from the goats (liars and thieves.)

Donald J. Trump promised this in March 2016:

“I will end forever the use of the H-1B as a cheap labor program, and institute an absolute requirement to hire American workers first for every visa and immigration program. No exceptions.”

Was he lying?

For the employers... all that matters is price. If every (citizen) tech worker is on food stamps, that’s the Feds problem.

If you get an inquiry from these Dalit staffing firms, don’t respond to them.

The US staffing firms are no better. In May, I got into a squabble with a US staffing firm that wanted me to commit to relocating to KC for Sprint... during a pandemic, when I already have housing in the area. I got into an additional squabble when I added medical costs onto their rate, for a job that might not exist 60 days from now.

Maybe he’s going to run on it again.

No, he was not. He has instituted this as a result of the Wuhan Virus devastation to our economy. In fact, he has received a great deal of heat for putting a stop to the H1-B visa program.
Mostly from Republican Senators who sent President Trump a strongly worded letter telling him not to do this.
In fact, JUST TODAY the Koch brothers sent Trump a letter telling him not to do this.
Trump’s response is he will ending the H1-B visa program.

Bank of Apathy... another favorite. In Boston, Bank of America has been looking for Mobile App Developers for a division of Merrill Lynch.

There have been rumors the Merrill Lynch division was looking for around 10 new hires.

The catch? They’ve been looking for these hires for FIVE YEARS through ML’s preferred staffing firms.

When the staffing firms fail at finding candidates, an internal B of A recruiter starts calling. I told the last recruiter I wanted a call from the hiring manager to give him a piece of my mind.

I can understand an employer looking for candidates. When those inquiries continue unabated for five years, that’s unreasonable.

That is EXACTLY what happens.

Only real interviews I’ve gotten was with Americans, only to fail the technical interview, as it’s stacked with Indians.

The H-1B regulations say that a foreigner must be paid at or higher than the prevailing rate to prevent companies from firing American employees to hire cheaper foreign workers.

So, I read this and thought they needed to submit an American at $60/hr so they could then give the job to an Indian worker for $60/hr. Next time, they'll find an American wanting $65/hr so they can give themselves a $5/hr raise.

Why can’t the federal government look at the racial hiring statistics and on that basis alone find the employers guilty of discrimination against Americans and fine their asses into oblivion? After all they do it every day for Blacks.

Pissed me off that Cloud Imperium Games are staffing with filthy disgusting Indian H1B scum.

Got an email from a Dalit company today. CIG are hiring H1B filth now.

If you know what my Freeper name is, you know why I’m pissed.

It sounds like they are submitting state side Job candidates for 2 to 3 times the going rate so therefore they get turned down and the people in India get 1 to 2 times the rate, Half of which may go to the recruiter or agency that gets them the job

Filthy H1B Indian scum and their Indian recruiters are considered minority-owned businesses. EEOC shot down 6 complaints I filed against these companies, most operating out of Indian-based call centers
