Sen. Mike Lee’s America: Indian Firm in Chicago Paid Employees India-level Wages, Took Jobs...
Breitbart ^ | 09.22.19 | Neil Munro

Posted on 09/26/2019 9:48:31 AM PDT by Freedom56v2

An Indian-run company in Chicago illegally imported Indian graduates — and paid them Indian-level wages — to help snatch jobs from American graduates. The fraud exploited loopholes in the B1 visas, which are reserved for managers and trainees according to a press statement by the Department of Homeland Security.

snip

The bill, S.386, dangles the huge prize of valuable green-cards to millions of Indian graduates if they take middle-class jobs from college-graduate Americas.

snip

Lee S.386’s bill would offer up to 140,000 green cards each year — up from roughly 20,000 now — to Indian graduates who accept low wages while taking middle-class jobs from American software developers, doctors, therapists, designers, accountants, engineers, and managers.

There is no limit on the number of Indian graduates who can take U.S. jobs while they compete for the green cards because there is no cap on H-1B visas, L-visas or OPT work permits. Already, roughly 1 million Indian college-graduates are working in U.S. jobs.

Lee’s proposed green-cards-for-cheap-labor deal would be a huge boon for the Indian government.

Lee’s deal would also aid U.S. investors — FWD.us, for example — by cutting their labor costs — and it would push the U.S. graduate class closer to the same traumatic downsizing that millions of American factory workers suffered when their jobs and careers were exported to China to boost stock values on Wall Street.

The Senate vote to block or pass the legislation will be held in the Senate this week, according to Lee.

snip

The Democratic-run House already passed a similar HR.1044 bill, with the aid of 140 GOP legislators.

President Donald Trump’s deputies have not said if he will veto the combined bill.

“from American software developers, doctors, therapists, designers, accountants, engineers, and managers”

But not Lawyers or Journalists and especially not Mormon Traitor Senators.

I thought author put it well: (from his Twitter)

GOP Sen. Milke Lee promising to shove his green-card @S386 giveaway to Indian graduates thru Senate by Friday. His investor donors (Bezos etc) bully Senators into passivity & push estb. media journos to ignore the outsourcing threat to their peers & kids. http://bit.ly/2kqZJKI

A truthful title to this sell-out is the “American Workers Replacement Act.” Sen. Cornyn got our last vote if he votes for this bill, promoted by the loathsome Utah Sen.Lee.

Yep, watched this in early 2000's at Qwest.

The India employed checks go to the India gov't and they pay the employee peanuts.

I have the feeling that our President will stray off the straight and narrow path and not veto this — He must know how this will affect the millions of our tech graduates and it’s not just the high tech industries. I sure will be watching my representatives. Just don’t understand Lee, my opinion of him is changed forever.

I think this is why it is of utmost importance that Trump see the families in fly-over country, his base, do not support this...

He seems to have a blind spot for technology...H-1B workers are not smarter than the American workers who are often required to train them before they themselves (the US workers) are let go.

I have contacted WH and Trump...Will do so again.

Just think contacting senators today is time sensitive.

Didn’t Mike Lee get elected as part of the Tea Party movement? So he was either lying then or has been corrupted by DC.

Now you understand why those of us that do not belong to the ‘Church’ in Utah cannot stand Mike Lee, Rat Romney and the House Representatives...they are being lead around by the lieing, back stabbing, deceitful carpetbagger Romney...

I was in the Courtroom that day that we went and took back the 40 delegates from Cruz that he tried to steal, and on the one table was James Evans, Republican leader for Utah and Mike Lee going against us...and an attorney who volunteered his time to fight the case for us against Ted Cruz...

And then there is Park City, Utah where McDonald's Egg McMuffin, Ted Cruz, and other government people, not once during this campaign but more than twice on the dime of Rat Romney going against Our President, then candidate; you see, the Rat Carpetbagger Romney was a Clinton Supporter, he lost his other support in Mass. Ted ‘Mary Jo Kopeck’ Kennedy died, so he picks up Dirty Hairy Reed; McPain of Arizona, and a host of others that are Anti=Trumpers, AFTER which this back stabbing Carpetbagger Rat Romney asks for money from then Donald Trump for his campaign and THEN has the stupidity after Our President won the election for a job...a fly on the wall at that dinner said: “I wouldn't offer you a job of dog pooper scooper of the White House Lawn” …

And here he is thinking he is going to run against Our President in 2020 and win, this back stabbing POS couldn't fight his way out of wet paper sack with Hillary Clinton's help, but THAT is another story!!!

Rat Romney is done, over, finished...he just doesn't know it yet!!!

WIPRO does this a lot. Brings in a ton of "consultants" who spend entire DAYS at the office because they cannot afford to live elsewhere.

I'm NOT kidding. I work for a large international bank in the Chicago market. Many of the Indian consultants have full toiletry sets at their desks along with changes of clothes. We've complained that they live in the office (and frankly, stink the place up with their body odor) and the bank turns a blind eye to it.

Are you saying BMO has BO?

I am surprised that this is happening in Chicago—the rental market is a little easier than out in the Bay area where you read about this stuff a lot...

Read indication of the low wages they are being paid—or the large percentage of wage they are sending back to India...

I don't work for BMO and they're not the only major international bank in the Chicago market with a large I.T. footprint....

If they hire hordes of Indian I.T. workers though, they likely have a body odor problem too though ...

Been a long day...I was just trying to bring a little levity to what is a very distressing state of affairs.
