Wasden, however, believes the administration may be trying to slow down the litigation to have time to “do as much damage to the H-1B program as they possibly can.”


The Trump Administration protecting the American worker.

I imagine the Trump Admin is forcing companies seeking to place H-1Bs to adhere to both the letter and intent of the law. They’re not used to that.

If these IT consulting firms want cheap labor, they can move their
firms to India, Syria or Iraq.

What law would the government be breaking by not allowing H1b1 visas?

[A group of information technology consulting companies is trying to force a federal court ruling on a government policy they say is preventing them from accessing workers on H-1B visas.]

They’ll do anything to not hire American workers.

Let’s say that again.

They’ll do anything to not hire American workers.

These are foreign actors and should be treated as such, and therefore denied standing.

Just look at these people: https://itserve.org/about

Like 40 people listed, one is not Indian. One.

These people are enemies of American citizens, flat out.

H1 B can be cut in a huge way. It is a method to get indentured servants for work that Americans can do. I have been directly impacted by H1-B. It is a sham. CEO’s get multimillion dollar bonuses while American workers get the shaft.

They tried the India route and failed massively especially in the area of tech support.

Dell, for example, offshored server support to India for a time. Corporations paying a king’s ransom for support contracts were incensed that they had to deal with poorly educated and poorly trained call center workers with the added obstacle of those jibber jabber accents.

India failed the audition. Unfortunately, the call centers and workers remained.

Now ‘consulting firms’ spam companies asking about job openings and spam job seekers with them. They are ‘in Texas’ but actually in Bangalore.

The OTHER call center leftovers went to the dark side: phone and email scams.

“as high as 40 percent, compared to a 1 percent denial rate for other big tech companies like Microsoft Corp., Google, and Amazon.com Inc.”

Guy has a point, denial rate should be 100% for all companies. America does not need to import coders from India. Jeez.

If the company cannot PROVE they made a good faith effort to find an American worker at any kind of fair wage, they need to have their case dismissed and be charge court costs.

Worse yet, the large American corporations are setting up tech campuses all over India, China, anywhere they can get cheap labor. Then, instead of bringing the H-1Bs here to work with us, they just move all the jobs there, and we Americans get shafted.

Or at least that was the main game under 0bama in the early days of this decade...

H-1B is another form of invasion. USA jobs should be for USAians. Allow more legitimate immigration if we need more people. Merit based.

Corporate America, not really USA institutions anymore. Globalists nearly all.

These firms should have their licenses yanked and send home their employees en masse. Good riddance.

I know State Street Bank for one does a very large percentage of their software development in China and has done so for at least the past decade.

I see 1-2 these overseas "managed services" companies popup every week in my vendor support work. The old axiom: "You get what you pay for" has never rang more true in these cases. You may save $$$ initially by sending your companies American jobs overseas, but by the time the chickens come home to roost and the buyers remorse sets in, the company execs who sold out their American employees have taken their golden parachute and jumped to the next job to avoid dealing with the mess they have created.

If you're a company IT exec listening to these managed services companies lies, get some education. I have turned some to date by just relating war stores on some of the disasters (no real names named) I have personally have been involved with.

God Bless America and the American worker, and may He deal with those who sell those same employees out for a few silver coins (or maybe a lot of silver coins)...

I hope I'm not betting my job with this whistleblowing post...

If they really do need these people, that’s one thing.

If they really are trying to drive down wages for jobs that could be totally filled by Americans from the marketplace they are trying to sell to, that is another thing.

You cannot keep undermining your own market and expect it to continue to function.
