This is not really an issue of gov telling business what to pay their employees. It is more of gov attempting to ensure business does not import sweat shops under the guise of not enough qualifed US workers.
[Enter Mark Zuckerburg AKA Facebook to team with Fox Network for the republican ‘fair and balanced’ debates.
He is the man who has donated 992 million shares to push the agenda of Planned Parenthood via Silicon Valley Community, another left leaning organization.
He is also a big supporter of Net Neutrality and that also will be supported and run through and supported by the Silicon Valley Community to donate money to candidates who agree with that policy.
He is also the man who donates to candidates, from both sides of the political spectrum who side with his views on amnesty for undocumented aliens and goes so far as to pay for college expenses for those illegal aliens.
Those donations to either republicans or democrats are or will, I expect, will be selected through the Silicon Valley Community.
This brings in question or perhaps explains the unprecedented number of republicans running for the presidency in ‘16.
Did the RNC receive any donations from ANY entity of Mark Zuckerburg?
Did any candidate of the Republican field of candidates receive any donations from ANY entity tied to Mark Zuckerburg?
Has Fox Network been compromised by ANY outside entity in effort to suppress the Conservative Movement?
Fox Network is already using left wing polling organizations other than Facebook to help determine whom shall be elevated to prominence in OUR Republican election and these questions should, at least, be asked.]
(pimping part of my post from July 13, 2015)
Go get ‘em Trump. Zuckerburg, Soros et al are waging an all out war on our election process.
“An even better plan would be to give the tax break to the US STEM worker, NOT the business, because they will just channel the additional $$ to the bottom line, not the STEM employee
If you want to encourage US citizens to pursue STEM, then the workers should be completely free from paying Federal Income Taxes. Then if the offered salary is $60k/yr, it’s tax free to the US Citizen worker and the company.”
Agree - That would work also, keeps the job in America, does not punish the Business for Govt’s failed policies.
Good for Trump.
This is an issue that has long been stirring discontent in the engineers and workers of Silicon Valley ( and other tech sectors). If the Donald taps into this it will get him votes from interesting places
The author of this article is like 99% of the punditry. They all are so scared of supporting trump, they always have to start with a disclaimer that they could never support him but he is the only one with the balls to take on the status quo.
Well p!ss on him. He is a gutless wonder.
There’s another factor here that is even more maddening. These employers are committed to “diversity.” If they can’t find domestic minorities, they import them. Here’s an example from my own experience: I worked in several state universities supported by the taxpayers. Search committees at these universities went out of their way to get H1-B visa types to fill open positions. Chinese and immigrants from India were favorites. Communist Chinese, even. I sat in interviews of these people. They could barely speak intelligible English. Their qualifications weren’t superior to the Americans who applied for the positions—far from it.
But, they were preferred so these university administrators could demonstrate that they were committed to diversity. This is even a required qualification for jobs in these places. You have to “demonstrate a committment to diversity.” It isn’t just about depressing wages; it’s about bragging that you have more minorities than whites on your staff. Look at the websites of major corporations. Who are depicted and have prominent positions in web page displays of company employees? Anybody but white bread Americans.
It isn’t enough to argue that forcing employers to increase wages will end this practice. You have to tear down the entire, rotten diversity, affirmative action superstructure that is the underpining of the H1-B visa program. Nobody addresses that at all.
