There is much evidence that President Trump recognizes the sensitivities of this issue. On April 2, his deputies reversed a plan to import more H-2B blue-collar workers in the crisis. The sudden reversal came after an April 1 press conference where Trump dodged two questions about white-collar visa workers. [Winning!]
...
The H-1B is the largest of the many visa programs — OPT, H4EAD, L-1, TN, CPT, E-3, B-1, — which keep roughly one million Indian contract workers, plus more than 200,000 migrants from China and other countries, in a wide variety of white-collar jobs throughout the United States. Few of the H-1Bs are more skilled than American graduates, and most are rated as “Entry-Level” or “Qualified” workers in the H-1B process.
...
...companies and the media to pretend that the government agrees that no Americans are available to take the H-1B jobs.
[Lots of great explanation on LCA and H-1B fraud]
...
...20 CFR 655.735 rule says that the H-1Bs must be fired if they are kept at the alternative address for more than 60 days:
(2) Immediately terminate the placement of any H-1B nonimmigrant(s) who reaches the workday limit in an area of employment. No worker may exceed the workday limit within the one-year period specified in paragraph (d) of this section.
...
...companies do not want to lay off their H-1B workers because the law clearly says that laid-off workers must leave the United States in 60 days [Emphasis added]. If their workers are recognized as laid off, they exit the country and cannot be slotted back into their jobs as the economy recovers.
...[L1, B-1/B2 visa schemes to keep Indians in the US]
...
There is growing evidence on message boards, Twitter, and lawyers’ question-and-answer sites that many H-1Bs are being laid off by American and NASSCOM companies, alongside the American graduates who are being fired in the coronavirus crash.
...
In March 2016...Trump declared:
The H-1B program is neither high-skilled nor immigration: these are temporary foreign workers, imported from abroad, for the explicit purpose of substituting for American workers at lower pay. I remain totally committed to eliminating rampant, widespread H-1B abuse and ending outrageous practices such as those that occurred at Disney in Florida when Americans were forced to train their foreign replacements. I will end forever the use of the H-1B as a cheap labor program, and institute an absolute requirement to hire American workers for every visa and immigration program. No exceptions.
Call to action? Like the Trump administration reversal on H-2B workers on April 2, we need to speak up to make sure H-1B gets a similar boot.
Buy American, Hire American.
I highly recommend taking a few minutes to read the entire Breitbart article as it is quite detailed and informative.

I’ve been wondering when the people are going to get made enough to kick ass. They fear us much more than we fear them, I promise you. However, it’s hard to get people to believe that.
GTFO
Americans first. It’s a promise you made to American workers, President Trump. You owe nothing to Indian workers.
H-1B’s bring over their fiances or wives on H4EAD visas and the H4EAD holder can start a business or work any jobs that Americans are qualified for so Americans are competing with the H-1B wives as well. Then they have a few kids who are anchor babies. Birthright citizenship needs to be ended and all H-1B’s, H4EAD’s , etc sent home.
You can be sure our DHS head will do everything to allow them to say & invite another 85,000 in.
Round every one of them up and send them back to India!
And, stop this evil program!
America is for Americans!
