After the New York Times published a story in June covering how Walt Disney World forced American employees to train their foreign-worker replacements, outrage surfaced across the country. A group of concerned citizens decided to do something about it by forming the organization Boycott Disney Now.
Boycott Disney Now was founded by two activists who have been directly harmed by our country’s immigration policies. When Jack Oliver and Paul Arnold saw the story about Disney’s H1-B abuse, they knew they could not stand by without a fight.
The group’s mission is simple, “Protect American Jobs!” They plan to do this by sending a strong message to Congress and corporations. Other concerned Americans are encouraged to sign the Boycott Disney petition. This petition demands that Congress issue a moratorium on H-1B visas until it is clearly established that American college students and other qualified American workers have been given first priority in filling STEM jobs (science, technology, engineering and math).
The abuse of the H1-B visa is rampant. Many U.S. companies are exploiting legal loopholes to replace U.S. workers in order to pay foreign replacements a lower wage. There has been story after story written on this abuse and finally, the main stream media is beginning to notice.
But even with all of this attention, some in Washington continue to work directly against the interest of American workers by pushing for an increase in H1-B visas. Boycott Disney Now hopes that Americans of all walks of life will join them in the fight against this flawed thinking
If you live near Disney World or Disney Land, you are invited to stand with American STEM workers and protest this visa abuse. There will be rallies in Orlando, Florida and Anaheim, California in October.
If you don’t live near the protests locations, you can still stand in solidarity with American workers by signing the Boycott Disney petition here.

Disney is for kids...and kids are no longer kids...they're government experiments.
Waitng for the FR free traitor/outsourcing /cheap foreign labor pimps to show up in 3,2,1.....
Any kid in a Disney costume ringing my doorbell on Halloween gets one piece of candy.
The rest will get at least two piece of candy.
It did? Really? Maybe I missed the massive protest and the endless editorials. Were there riots in the streets? I'm so out of the loop on these things.
Sad for the kids who are Completly innocent in this H1B plague. Here is a little secret. This problem is going to fix itself. H1B IT workers are horrible and are devistatating corporate IT infrastructure. Eventually this will be realized and Anerican IT workers will be sought out and command three times what they made prior. Paying the piper is going to be expensive.
Those didn't happen - more's the pity. More precise would have been "outrage surfaced here and there across the country".
The people have given up on their government working on behalf of the American people instead of the foreigners. Both party leaderships are in agreement on their loyalty.
But how much of the American middle class will there still be by the time that happens?
Completed it.
Their parents bought the Disney costume! Supporting America’s unemployed tech workers in my own little way, and those kids are only getting one piece of candy.
Times are tough and it’s my own little way of teaching them about capitalism.
This is going to be hard since Disney now owns Marvel Entertainment, Lucasfilm/Star Wars, etc. but I’m going to do it!
Trump got his big numbers from his stance on protecting our borders... Trump needs to make it clear that his ‘big door’ does NOT include too many H-1B types. Americans have first call - we made the country...
Oh, and it’s time to boycott Disney. Walt would be spinning in his grave over this kind of crap...
That, too. Slipped my mind because the government and the corporatists are pretty much indistinguishable anymore. I can’t tell Jeb Bush from his Chamber of Commerce overlords.
Trump needs to make it clear that his ‘big door’ does NOT include too many H-1B types. Americans have first call - we made the country...Cruz:
In 2013, Sen. Cruz proposed amendments to the “Gang of 8” bill that would strengthen border security, expand green card opportunities, increase high-skilled “H1B” visas, prevent illegal aliens from receiving welfare benefits, and enforce the rule of law.
He reiterated his pro-H-1B stand in July: “Cruz: ‘Proud to Defend’ Trump, Expand H-1B Visas For ‘Educated,’ ‘Talented’ Job Creators” - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3309118/posts
There’s some high skilled “H1Bs” that we need.. but the system’s being abused... It’s become one more ‘cheap labor’ - ‘keep pay down’ pad the books movement...
You might want to take a look at this link - it deals with the hopelessness of immigration (as a way to helping) and it deals with the ethics of pulling out the best people third world countries have of offer. It’s only a few minutes...please ... you would understand lewislynn.

I am confused. I thought that the company had to show that they need the H1B because they could not find a US Citizen to fill the job.
If the H1Bs are replacing workers, isnt this fraud? Where are the US Attorneys on this?
No, we don't.
If you want your heart surgery perfomed by a Uzbeckistanian surgeon, then go to Uzbekistan to have it.
I've reconsidered... I think you're right on this issue.
Maybe if American companies couldn't raid the world for cheap labor they would STOP the silliness in our school systems that encourage incompetence.
I'm with you on this now... Did you get a chance to look at the link? Give it 4 minutes...
