Michelle Malkin: Media 'sold out' American workers on immigration
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/12/15 | Anna Giaritelli

Posted on 11/12/2015 6:36:54 PM PST by markomalley

Michelle Malkin called out the press for its "reluctance, unwillingness and ideological opposition" to thoroughly cover the H-1B visa program at a Washington, D.C. discussion Thursday.

The leading conservative author claimed that the mainstream media's reluctance to investigate abuses of the 25-year-old visa program has helped speed the transfer of IT jobs from American workers to cheaper foreign labor.

Americans who have been fired and then forced to train their foreign replacements would act out together if the media reported the trend, said guest panelist Leo Perrero.

Perrero is a 20-year veteran of the IT field. He was laid off by Walt Disney World last year and then forced to train his replacement for 90 days.

Malkin called the debut of the book "serendipitous" in light of the growing coverage immigration has received on the campaign trail and a bill that was introduced by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, Tuesday that would require employers to hire Americans before importing foreign workers (S.B. 2266).

That’s an understatement Michelle. They sure have sold us out. It’s all part of a democrat takeover.

The idea that every immigrant in whatever numbers is a great thing is just preposterous.

The MSM and Uniparty work in lock step. We knew this already.

Someone (Trump, Carson?) needs to go directly at the Democrats on the mass illegal and legal immigration as the cause of 50% unemployment in the black community in major cities and the wage stagnation.

They are marching for $15 an hour, but bringing in ten million plus unskilled laborers?

SOMEONE PLEASE POINT OUT THIS STUPIDITY.

Cruz told Bret Baier today that he supports suspension of legal immigration until the illegal immigration issue is under control. This includes the H1-B program which he and Sessions are working to reform through legislation.

Has anyone actually looked at what’s going on in Europe? Really? H1b?

Listen Michelle, these people want Americans raped and murdered and enslaved and sold at auction as sex slaves in metal cages. They want that now, not tomorrow.

Stop playing around the edges, these people are trying to kill you. Your job is the least of their concerns.

H-1B ping. Let me know if you're not on the list and want to be added (or are and want to be removed).

An aspect of this that is getting little attention is risk.

Many of the H1B imports will become system administrators, i.e. God like powers over sensitive data.

Hacking usually involves direct or indirect cooperation of system administrators. It is usually too difficult to “solve” passwords. So a traitorous person is necessary.

Non citizens are more likely enable releases of sensitive data. See Target, Sony, Home Depot, US Government HR.

We think that H1Bs come without risk to the enterprise or nation?

Think again.
