Silicon Valley’s business elites and donor-class billionaires are uniting with elected Republicans and Democrats to ensure that white-collar, middle-class American jobs are swiftly outsourced to mostly Indian and Chinese nationals.
A plan known as the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act, introduced in the Senate by Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Kamala Harris (D-CA), as well as Reps. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and Ken Buck (R-CO), would eliminate the U.S. country caps in the legal immigration system and would fast-track outsourcing of white-collar American jobs to mostly Indian and Chinese nationals imported to the country by businesses, outsourcing firms, and multinational corporations.
The country caps were originally implemented to prevent any one country from monopolizing the legal immigration system. Eliminating the country caps would immediately fast-track up to 300,000 green cards, and eventually American citizenship, to primarily Indian nationals in the U.S. on the H-1B visa, so long as they agree to take high-paying, white-collar jobs from Americans.

My entire department, was outsourced this way.
20 years I was there.
Most older Freepers don’t care about this issue. Their working lives are through so the just don’t care about their children and grand children’s future, it is obvious.
Javanka’s fingerprints are all over this.
The younger generations need to get off their phones and study. So many don’t have even the most basic of job skills.
It’s like Trump is phoning it in. I guess the globalists finally wore him down. Steve Bannon phone home!
Yep, I was too.
Problem is, they write crappy code!
Ever wonder why there have been so many colossal web site failures?
Programmers from Elbonia (from Dilbert comics).
Do you know anyone that would subject themselves to a STEM/IT undergrad degree to work for substandard pay only to be out sourced at the age of 30?
THEY NEED INCENTIVE!
What good is a wall if you just import millions ‘legally’?
I haven’t met any Indian nationals that loved this country and I worked in high tech for decades.
Most of them HATE us. And vote commie reliably to boot if they ever become citizens.
Hey, let’s import millions, and their families and kids. What could possibly go wrong?!
Look at this thread, we have Freepers blaming the victim already.
Why should they? The foreigners have taken over the STEM fields in colleges and their degrees are paid for by their countries. It’s easy to work for less pay when you’re not sitting on 200K of college loans.
And we blame “young people” for not pursuing STEM/IT careers. Blame the victim...
Worth repeating!!!
I’m older and I care.
I tried to get the GOP to pay attention back in 2002 when this really started to get nuts.
Voters don’t want it, the GOP-e isn’t going to get donations for it as its all going to RATS.
All it does is piss off the middle class republican voters.
No, we play blame the victim here.
I watched our young ones getting dumbed down BEFORE industry had to rely on imports.
Those programmers/IT people who work for twitter/facebook/youtube/etc who find it so easy to censor conservatives? If you watch the ‘sting’ videos are mostly foreigners. SHOCKER.
