Teamsters Union President: H-1B Visa Program ‘Displaces’ Americans, Allows Billionaires to Exploit Foreign Workers
Breitbart ^ | 4Jan | Binder

Teamsters Union President Sean O’Brien says the H-1B visa program “displaces” Americans from their jobs while allowing billionaires at the top of corporations to exploit foreign workers.

Amid debate regarding the H-1B visa program, which allows companies to import hundreds of thousands of foreign workers, primarily from India, to take white-collar American jobs, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) blasted the program as nothing more than an outsourcing scheme.

The H-1b visa problem is a old problem that has been festering for decades.

Legal immigration and illegal immigration are two totally separate issues.

Keeping it alive is a Deep State/MSM OP. They are using it to drive a wedge team Trump and MAGA

The wedge is between team rich guy anti American globalist and Trump. We need that wedge.

KEEP IT ALIVE!!!

The problem started in the 1990s and was Bill Gates’s solution to hiring “expensive” computer science majors that wanted to make a decent living. How rude of them...

All YOUR top union thugs supported Biden's unfettered migration of illegals.
They are phony!

Yes, but the far left crazes who cheerfully sucked in 20 million illegals including bona fide gangsters from Venezuella to come to America to come rape, murder and seize apartment blacks in Colorado, are now screaming about H1B’s “taking American jobs”?
How does that make sense?

Again, pulling illegals into a conversation about an abused legal worker visa is frankly stupid. But I'd expect no less from you.

Typical union thug thought process:

Scam,steal and lie and then no one can speak of your corruption and being two-faced.

Typical of you!

Your desperation is getting crazy

You’re not smart enough to say that Biden has no plan. Has never had a plan. He doesn’t even know where he is.

Guess you don’t remember day 2 or 3 of his term, signing EOs that he had no idea what he was signing. Said so on camera. They could have been blanks EOs that were signed, to be filled in later.

Biden. Harris. Biden. Harris. Nothing but puppets doing the work of people behind the scenes, WEF, WallSt(the group that profits from the immigration the most), etc etc

As for Tren de Arugua….another example of how sense you are. What about MS13 taking over entire neighborhoods? What about the Cartels taking over entire towns in rural California? What about Chinese illegals with illegal grows in Maine, where China was allowed to buy land?

I’m a proponent of a task force that goes to anywhere the criminals are, loudspeakers to tell them to come out and get a plane ride home. If they don’t they’re hunted down and forcibly removed or lethal force if they resist.

You should letting FR know what a clown you are

Hate to prolong this because SmokingJoe is tiresome.

But, IMHO, the H1B-visa is the shiny rock that distracts from all the other issues with regards to American workers and immigrants, legal or illegal.

If WallSt was able to disband the longshoremen or teamsters, there wouldn’t be another American worker in any of those jobs. Immigrant will never complain. Work in atrocious conditions.

And I’m not a rabid, pro union guy. I think that union Longshoreman should have been his a$$ kicked.

Legal residents and green card holders are becoming cops. Having traveled the world to some not-so-nice places, you dont want any of them to be cops in the U.S.

They’re allowing them to get CDLs, 80k lb trucks, can’t read, speak or write English. Just follow the preprogrammed GPS and you hope it’s one programmed for trucks otherwise they end up in a small town square that can’t accommodate an 18-wheeler.

And of course all of the construction jobs lost.

You keep getting funnier by the minute.
Who's been the Presdent last 4 years?
Biden.
Who deliberately sucked in armies of illegals including criminal gangs with no checks whatsoever?
Biden.
Whether an old geezer or not, Biden's the President.
Responsibility lays at his door.
Again, H1B impact pales into insignificance as compared to the damage done to America by Biden's army of illegals who have continued to rape, murder and pillage at will with little to no consequences from the Biden regime, backed by far left crazies like you.
