A previous BuzzFeed News report found that many of those foreign workers suffer a nightmare of abuse, deprived of their fair pay, imprisoned, starved, beaten, sexually assaulted, or threatened with deportation if they dare complain.
At the same time, companies across the country in a variety of industries have made it all but impossible for U.S. workers to learn about job openings that they are supposed to be given first crack at. When workers do find out, they are discouraged from applying. And if, against all odds, Americans actually get hired, they often are treated worse and paid less than foreign workers doing the same job, in order to drive the Americans to quit.
Sometimes, as the government alleged happened at Hamilton Growers, employers comply with regulations by hiring Americans only to fire them en masse and hand over the work to foreign workers with H-2 visas.
=============================================
Obama the Dems and the GOPee along with all candidates running for 2016 except Trump are part of this yuge problem is costing Americans jobs and Americans with jobs their tax money going to support Americans that could have jobs.
HB1 and HB2 are being abused by the cheap-labor express and the bought and paid for congress and President.
As the nation prepares to ring in the New Year, President Barack Obama is preparing a colossal new executive action that could print-up work permits for a huge number of foreign white-collar graduates every year, above and beyond the levels set by Congress.
This executive action, which directly bypasses Congressional lawmakers, is likely to reverberate across the presidential race, as GOP voters look to choose a nominee they believe will most effectively roll back the President’s still-expanding agenda. And it will certainly raise new security concerns as it covers categories of immigration utilized by migrants from the Middle East and nearby regions.
President Barack Obama’s Department of Homeland Security plans to publish the proposed rule tomorrow, the last day of 2015.
The 181-page rule focuses primarily on giving work-permits to foreign college-grads who will compete against Americans for white collar jobs, despite the large number of American graduates now stuck in lower-wage positions and struggling to pay off college debts. The rule will also make each foreign graduate much cheaper for U.S. employers to hire than many U.S.-born college grads.
“Obama has gone the Full Monty to bust the immigration system,” says immigration lawyer John Miano. “What is going on is he is effectively giving Green Cards to people on H-1B visas who are unable to get Green Cards due to the [annual] quotas ... it could be over 100,000.”
The American people took their way of life and prosperity for granted. They did not realize how much of an historical anomaly it was, and how fragile it was.
Now it is being exchanged for a welfare check and “Dancing with the Stars.” Some are foolishly making the exchange willingly, some are having it forced upon them. But the exchange is being made whether they like it or not.
Congress could stop him, if they wanted to. But then they just increased H1b visas didn’t they.
I remember Americans flocking to a meat-packing plant after the alien invaders were rounded up; one told a reporter, who asked whether or not these were the jobs “Americans don’t want”, that many of them were the Americans laid off by the same plant so they could hire the Mexicans.
GOPe bump for later....
"For several years, Abrorkhodja Askarkhodjaev ran a temp firm based in Kansas City that relied on H-2 guest workers... "Foreign people will clean two rooms in one hour. The American will not even finish in one hour one room," he said speaking from the federal prison where he is serving a 12-year term for crimes related to visa fraud."
All your job are belong to us.
what, what the @#$@#$ is a job ameicans don’t want?!?!
you advertise far and wide enough you will ALWAYS get a position filled.
This is one of the biggest lies perpetrated upon the American people.
I KNOW a bunch of teenagers who would do ANY LEGAL job if they got the chance. And they ARE working at hard jobs, you know, the ones they don’t want.
bump
I understand that Trump’s companies are big in H-2 visas.
Hey remember when you (and you know who you are) sat on your ass lecturing people like me about how you wanted a more moderate government and didn’t like all the inflammatory right wing rhetoric and that was why you were voting Obama/liberal Democrat?
Well enjoy it. :)
