A CEO who bailed on President Donald Trump’s now-defunct American Manufacturing Council imported workers to take jobs in the United States. Intel CEO Brian Krzanich left Trump’s manufacturing council after he disagreed with the response to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
“I resigned because I want to make progress, while many in Washington seem more concerned with attacking anyone who disagrees with them,’’ Krzanich wrote in a blog post. “We should honor—not attack—those who have stood up for equality and other cherished American values.’’
But, as Trump’s manufacturing council was set up to bring back manufacturing and jobs to the U.S., Intel has been doing just the opposite since 2013.
Since 2013, the Intel Corporation attempted to import more than 8,000 H-1B workers. At the same time, as Breitbart News reported, the company under Krzanich’s direction laid off 12,000 Americans last year.

Where’s Mark Cuckerberg of Facebook?
Intel should have any and all defense contracts stripped away.
Because a lot of American companies don’t want to hire Americans. Even at rates well-competitive to H-1B. They’ll still pay $45-$65 an hour for those services through a middle-man. Shoot even $30 and while a lot of folks are good, their English isn’t (not all some have excellent English - I’m sure I couldn’t speak their language LOL).
I was in contact with a recruiter on an out-of-state job a few weeks ago that might have been promising (though the first promise was local). His English was so bad I could not understand at least 50% of what he was saying - even with repeated attempts. I’m not coming down on the guy, but if you’re going to be contacting Americans, it helps. I had to give up because we couldn’t accomplish a thing. And I’ve communicated with folks from India, Pakistan, etc. for decades. The guy was trying - we just couldn’t get it all together. It was like pulling spaghetti through fine-wire mesh. Finally you just give up.
[and they don’t have to give them competitive benefits]
Nor have to deal with unemployment, withholding, etc. So they just outsource it and let the middleman worry about all that. Plus they really don’t want permanent employees a whole lot anymore.
Which is fine. Those of us that did a lot of consulting were used to that.
correct ===> typical Democrat-type strategy
[Give him a break. He only makes $15 million a year.]
Nice catch.
Oh man, how does he even eat!!!??
Have you seen the price of arugula lately?
wow
The ironic Wow is that today the Tax-credit built/abandoned facility is occupied by { wait for it }...
The county welfare offices.
Well that figures. I had no idea the machine would rack up another 9 trillion dollars in debt - I should have pursued gov’t jobs in some ways years ago. I knew how bankrupt it was in 2008. I still kept going after the private sector.
I look now and I don’t recognize the America I knew especially from about 1996-2004 time frame.
That place looks like the Allies bombed it out of existence.
I remember what it was like to be able to walk to kindergarten with my neighborhood friends in 1966.
Veterans of WWI, II, Korea out shoveling snow, or mowing their lawns, or fixing their cars, or tending their gardens and small businesses.
There was always someone around we could turn to for help and we were safe thanks to them.
If we misbehaved our parents found out about it from them too!
That was a community. No government coercion required.
Back then my sis and I could camp out in the living room with the door unlocked.
Of course, that was before the Manson Family.....
Cheap labor, follow the money trail.
When arguing with my Autistic Libertarian friend on Facebook who hates Trump invariably this topic comes up. He starts on his Freedom, and muh constitution kick.
At one point I said STFU with that nonsense. He thinks Trump is messing with Free Market forces you see. I said we are quibbling over the freaking rules which, by the way, are not free market. How the hell is requiring companies to pay them more anti-free market? Let the Tech Workers be free agents instead of indentured servants if you want things to be free.
I work in tech and started just before the H-1B explosion and have managed to get myself in a position that is not suited for Panjeet but I don’t have an “I got mine” attitude this really really pisses me off. Fact is after leaving the military I was technical enough to get a job in the private sector and manged to prove myself while there.
I didn’t have an EE or Software Engineering degree either. The rigorous course work these young men complete, only to be told there aren’t any jobs is a stain on this country. I still can’t believe Little Marco wanted to expand it by 3X
As someone who works in the accounting profession, I feel it would be helpful to hire domestic professionals for resour cell reasons, followed by personal reasons, it was hard enough for me to get the job, and it would likely get worse in others. Plenty of my friends are college graduates with jobs that do not pay substantially.
Hate to reply to a dead thread, haha. What the hell. My undergraduate degree was in Accounting. I was coming out of the military and was techie enough to get into some IT work and never looked back. I always wonder how that would have turned out had I been on the CPA track.
