Industry, Universities, Hide Workforce of 100,000 Extra Foreign White-Collar H-1B Employees

Industry executives and university advocates have successfully duped nearly every reporter, editor and anchor nationwide about the scale and purpose of the H-1B professional outsourcing program.

The journalists–and Americans-have been kept in the dark while universities and many allied name-brand companies have quietly imported an extra workforce of at least 100,000 lower-wage foreign professionals in place of higher-wage American graduates, above the supposed annual cap of 85,000 new H-1Bs.

Less than one-sixth of these extra 100,000 outsourced hires are the so-called "high-tech" computer experts that dominate media coverage of the contentious H-1B private-sector outsourcing debate. [...]

The American professionals who are displaced from these prestigious university jobs don't just go into the woods and die. They flood down into other sectors, such as advocacy and journalism, or step down to lower-tier colleges and companies, where the additional labor-supply drives down white-collar wages paid by other employers.

So how does this off-the-books army of foreign professionals get to take jobs in the United States?

The media almost universally reports that the federal government has set a 65,000 or 85,000 annual cap on the annual number of incoming H-1B white-collar professionals.

Here's the secret - the H-1B visas given to university hires don't count against the 85,000 annual cap, according to a 2006 memo approved by George W. Bush's administration.

Basically, universities are free to hire as many H-1Bs as they like, anytime in the year, for any job.

The university exemption is so broad that for-profit companies can create affiliates with universities so they can exploit the universities' exemption to hire cheap H-1B professionals. From 2011 to 2014, for example, Dow Chemical, Amgen, Samsung and Monsanto used the university exemption to hire 360 foreign professionals. [...]

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).

Instead of doing a Clinton and just giving away some of our technology let’s just let them come over and get it all.

[TigerClaws]

There was a law firm that did seminars telling companies how to ‘get around’ the laws - take out ads nationally that’ll never hire anyone, etc.

Let me know if you need me to dig it up.

Hey, if it lets Zuckerberg buy another ivory back-scratcher ...

Worth repeating endlessly. These people in the video should be prosecuted, simple as that. Thanks for your original post.

Even colleges are getting in on the act. So much for taking care of their own students.

After this major scandal I see The Commission on Presidential Debates has chosen
Wright State University to host the first presidential debate of 2016. Do they know something we don’t.

The best part it’s all done on the honor system with no tracking. /sarc

H1B bump for later...

[DiogenesLamp]

The first thing we do is get that Non American President out of office.

Then maybe we can fix this. Then maybe we can enact vengeance on the people who caused this.

[Colorado Buckeye]

Bump.

As a recent alumnus of that university (May 2015, Raj Soin School of Business), I was (and still am) ashamed of their lapse in good judgment. The leadership betrayed the students and alumni for a few proverbial pieces of silver.

Short of being a diversity/international candidate, UofD grad, and/or holder of an active security clearance, it is VERY slim pickings in the Dayton/Cincinnati area.

Despite that, I don’t think the venue decision was connected with their H1-b efforts. They’ve managed to host large events such as the McCain-Palin declaration with ease.

More scandal, this article gives a hint of why tuition is sky rocketing. They have money to pay a lobbyist a million a year for five years.
