The Department of Homeland Security has again delayed a plan to cancel 100,000 work permits which were printed for the Indian spouses of H-1B visa workers by President Barack Obama.

At this point, DHS has informed counsel that it believes the earliest possible publication date for that [H4EAD cancellation] rule would be in spring 2020,” said a September 16 letter to a judge who is overseeing a lawsuit against the program. “Although that timeframe is aspirational,” the letter added
The rule was drafted at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agency to help implement President Donald Trump’s “Hire American” Inauguration Day promise. But it has been held up by reviewers at the White House’s Office of Management and Budget amid business groups lobbying to keep the visas.
But the cancellation delay is a domestic 2020 problem for Trump because he needs to rebuild support among the GOP’s traditional college-graduate supporters in suburbia, many of who voted Democrat in 2016 and 2018.
The rebuilding is made even more complicated when the administration supports the Indian visa programs because they are a direct economic and status threat to the well being of their college graduates’ families and the future careers of their children.
Nationwide, Indians comprise at least two-thirds of the roughly 1.4 million white-collar foreign visa-workers who have taken jobs in office parks around the nation, even though many skilled and debt-burdened young American graduates are eager for those jobs. The Indians work as software developers, tax consultants, designers, accountants, engineers, doctors, and increasingly as recruiters and day-to-day managers of many American firms.
This year-round population of U.S.-based Indian college graduate visa workers is far larger than the shifting population of roughly 500,000 blue-collar H-2A, H-2B, and J-1 visa workers.

Hear the giant sucking sound of US jobs???
CALL DEM AND GOP SENTAORS TODAY!
Will they at least learn to properly use a public restroom?
And Amazon, SalesForce, Microsoft and Google are giggling with glee. They love the cheap mumblers and their crappy quality ethic.
100,000 American jobs denied to Americans, instead given to cheap foreign labor. This is not why we voted for President Trump.
wtf
ditto on wtf !
Modi just held a rally for Trump in Houston because India and the USA need a stronger alliance together against China.
...so yeah, we’re going to do some small favors for India/Modi.
It might not be ideal, but don’t be dumb here.
That’s bullSit
Now, you can impeach him...
If no Senator objects, they pass this American Worker Replacement Act by unanimous consent and don’t have to go on record as selling out the economic future of our children and grandchildren in their own country.
With Un-American tricks such as this one, the Senate should be dumped into the dustbin of history.
We can do lots of things for India, but do we need to destroy the technology job market for US tech grads and workers?
There is an unlimited supply of cheap foreign labor.
We are not responsible for maintaining and supporting India’s middle class.
We are protecting steel workers’ jobs...why not tech jobs?
How is this MAGA.
“Will they at least learn to properly use a public restroom?”
My GF was in a thrift store last week where the manager threw three scarf clad foreigners out of the store for crapping and peeing on the floor of the bathroom.
we ALL know the end of the story.
Exactly. I’ve seen a lot of talk about manufacturing, but not much about our tech folks. There are critical national security issues involved in employing foreign nationals in tech.
With the way the left HATES America how much worse can foreign nationals be for national security, we have Americans that HATE this country more than many foreign nationals!!! Muslims NO WAY I don’t want them ANYWHERE near ANYTHING!!!
‘Modi just held a rally for Trump in Houston because India and the USA need a stronger alliance together against China.’
That’s just all out bull.
I don’t care what color they are or where they’re from If I can’t understand them I tell them so and ask for someone who actually speaks English. About a month ago I got a black gal on the phone who sounded like she had a mouth full of marbles. I understood about every 4th to 5th word. After the 2nd what did you say? I told her get me someone who speaks coherently enough I can understand them. I’m not very nice about it either. Peeves me off that I have to struggle to understand them.
It seems the legal immigration flood is getting worse since Trump was elected.
I think the bottle neck has gotten worse, so there is a lot more pressure to provide green cards so more H-1B Visas can come...
There are unlimited numbers of foreign student visas too...
Limited number of jobs in US, unlimited number of workers wanting to come at whatever tech titans will pay.
So we are getting flooded on both the low end from South America and the higher end from Asia (India and China)...
Globalist dream come true... Yet America is like frogs in boiling water...even some here think it is OK to turn up the boil :(
Americans aren’t quite pliant enough for the powers that be. They want to replace us with folks who are much easier to control.
