It’s time to say it loud: Democrats use illegal aliens as slave labor.

This is quite evident with help lines. I rarely get anyone on the phone who speaks English well.

Good.

[metmom]

This is appalling.

The H1B program needs to be put on hold for a couple years. We’ve got more than enough foreign workers taking American jobs.

America FIRST!

[Tell It Right]

Apply for the jobs even if the proposed salary is low.

[sit-rep]

all I know is I am damned tired of calling tech support for Internet, my mortgage company... Verizon... all of them and getting some fkng foreigner I can barely understand. and whe you ask them to slow down their speech so you can understand them, they call you racist and hang up on you!! After youve been on hold for a half hour!!!

There used to be a lack of qualified programmers. But that is no longer the case. Good American programmers are out their and there are lots of them. So there is very little reason to add new foreign workers. And many of the ones here can go home. We also don’t need the foreign students. This foreign workforce thing has played its part. Now we have all we need. Stop the pipeline. We don’t need more.

Truck drivers used to be the most respected drivers on the roads and highways. Now, I clinch my teeth and try to get around and far away from them as quickly as I can.

[Bon of Babble]

Good for them.

Trump should end H-1b visas now - as he promised in his first term:

"In 2016, Trump stated he would end the use of the H-1B visa as a 'cheap labor program' and require employers to hire American workers first for every visa and immigration program"

Now?

"Although Trump initially expressed favor for the H-1B program, stating, 'I have used it many times. It's a great program,' his administration has pursued changes aimed at addressing concerns from immigration hard-liners within his base.

President Donald Trump's position on the H-1B visa program in 2025 reflects support for reforming the system to prioritize higher-wage and more highly-skilled foreign workers, moving away from the current lottery-based allocation."

Yes I have an acquaintance applying to many of the jobs. This is ridiculous!

[delchiante]

US workers are jamming up the PERM process, exposing the big con and forcing the truth about the rigged system out into the open. This is what it looks like when ordinary American workers finally fight back.
....

Nice to see this is happening.

PERM: Permanent Labor Certification

A permanent labor certification issued by the Department of Labor (DOL) allows an employer to hire a foreign worker to work permanently in the United States.

My Microsoft office in Eastgate, Bellevue, WA went from a world-wide polyglot culture to a Hindu monoculture in three years.

The simplest thing to do is to require H-1Bs to be paid at least 20% more than the pay of the average American worker with the degree and years of experience.

There have to be stabilizing barriers to protect American workers against imports of people and things.

City W, its workers and its residents shouldn’t be left to die economically because widgets can be made 1% cheaper in China.

City W, its workers and its residents shouldn’t be left to die economically because widgets can be made 3% cheaper in India.

How much pricing differential benefit should imports have to offer?

The Trump base tariff of 10% seems about right.

The US has certain cost inefficiencies compared to China such as:
1. the PPACA
a. paying more for drugs than other countries
b. unhealthy lifestyles
c. junkie care
2. expensive public schools
3. dysfunctional people on the public dole
4. dysfunctional people filling up prisons
5. welfare, disability and asylum fraud

As for H-1Bs, the cost of US higher education also has to be factored in. There should be an additional percentage to reflect the risk of taking on student debt to get an education. Therefore, I suggest a 20% differential for labor.

The requirement to try to find a qualified American should be done away with. There are always qualified Americans to be had.

If the employer wants a certain technical degree foreigner, the employer should simply be allowed to hire the technical degree foreigner at the 20% differential or more. Technical companies are often in a technology race. They should be able to move fast.

To prevent fraud, either:
1.the number of foreigners hired should be such that the salaries paid to them never exceed the amount of corporate income tax paid by the employer in any of the five past tax years for the employer, or
2. an advance of five years of FICA should be paid for the worker [this would allow start-ups to hire premium quality foreigners].

Hopefully foreigners are picking up on the rising tide of resentment growing in the country to their presence here. Americans are slowly waking up to how harmful they are. Come as a tourist if you want, enjoy your stay, then go home.

I've renamed "American Express" to "India Express".

An American cannot get a job there no matter how skilled they are. According to the
H-1B person doing the interviewing, you are still not qualified.
