Trump orders alien biometric IDs, dump 466,000 Obama green cards
American Thinker ^ | 03/18/2019 | Chriss Street

President Trump ordered biometric ID cards for all non-immigrant work visas and is moving to dump Obama’s Executive Order expanding H-1B green cards by 466,000.

Donald Trump’s first initiatives as president was issuing the "Buy American and Hire American” in April 2017 that instructed the U.S. Immigration Service to drastically restructure the job-destroying H-1B “temporary foreign worker” program.

Republican President George H.W. Bush joined Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy to pass the Immigration Act of 1990 that expanded U.S. foreign worker visas, implemented family-chain-migration, and launched the H-1B “specialty occupations" visa program.

The so-called “Einstein Visas” program was designed to allow employers having difficulty hiring enough skilled U.S. college graduates, to temporarily sponsor “green card” work visas for up to 85,000 foreign college graduates. But Silicon Valley tech giants used low-cost H-1B foreigners to dump higher-paid American employees. When H-1B temporary workers’ visas expire, many fail to return home and just keep working.  


Senator Barack Obama campaigned for president in 2008 in opposition to offshoring U.S. jobs and displacing U.S. tech workers with temporary H-1B visas. Obama trumpeted that if elected president, “I will stop giving tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas, and I will start giving them to companies that create good jobs right here in America.”

But in his first six years as president, the H-1B program swelled to 460,000 non-immigrant foreign graduates taking U.S. jobs, plus another 107,000 foreign workers taking American tech jobs under an H-1B unlimited hiring exemption for US universities.

Thank you, DJT, for helping Americans get and keep their jobs. Now if only American colleges would teach real things instead of feminazi studies, queer studies, trans crap and victimology.

What is an ‘h1-b green card?’ ‘Green cards’ are permanent resident documents. The h1-b is a temporary visa.

They have been letting these people and their families stay. NONE HAVE GONE HOME which is why the country is infested with Indians in IT as well as Mexicans and all. Everyone comes legally or not and stay. We need to seriously clean house and send all of them home!

FILED UNDER WHO CARES: Hispanic Caucus demands probe into Trump Organization hiring undocumented workers (SPIT)
The Hill ^ | March 15, 2019 | JULIE GRACE BRUFKE / Posted by gattaca The Congressional Hispanic Caucus are calling on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) inspector general and the FBI to investigate the Trump Organization's hiring of workers without legal immigration status and allegations of mistreatment. A letter spearheaded by Caucus Chairman Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) and signed by Reps. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), Nanette Diaz Barragán (D-Calif.), Adriano Espaillat (D-N.Y.), and Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) was sent to DHS acting Inspector General John V. Kelly and FBI Director Christopher Wray making the request.---SPIT---

===============================

The close-mouthed Congressional Hispanic Caucus has been much too secretive about its role in the border invasions.
Who is financing the caravans? The caravaners are well-dressed, well-fed w/ plenty of money to pay the organizers.

NEED TO KNOW
<><> How much has the C/H/C received in tax dollars for
Congressional earmarks, foreign aid, and humanitarian funding?
<><> Are US tax dollars financing the invasion?
<><> Is the C/B/C being directed by, and funded by, foreign governments?

TIME TO OPEN THE BOOKS of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus
<><> What do they know about this?
<><> Who are they talking to?
<><> Who is giving them orders?
<><> Collusion and conspiracy with foreign agents could be involved.

Is the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (C/H/C) colluding to increase their political clout, to jet-stream US foreign aid to their
Third World masters. (US tax dollars laundered, then funnelled back as campaign donations to amnesty-worshippers' campaign coffers).

================================================

SUBPOENA CELL PHONE RECORDS, COMPUTER DISKS, HARD DRIVES, WIRE-TRANSFERS
to determine whether the Hispanic Caucus colluded w/ foreign govts to aid and abet the overthrow of the US govt.

===================================================

Taxpayers demand to know the scope and dimension of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus using government offices for illegal purposes.

Taxpayers demand to know if members of the Hispanic Caucus belong to and/or finance violent latino groups advocating the overthrow of the US govt.

=================================================

Taxpayers demand documents held by the Hispanic Caucus be scrutinized for possible falsification.

Falsifying Government Documents involves altering, changing, or modifying a document for the purpose of deception.......can also involve forgery and/or passing copies of false documents. Falsifying documents is usually done in connection with broader criminal aims, such as extortion, government fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, financing terrorism........

Types of documents commonly falsified may include:
<>Tax returns and income statements
<>Personal checks
<>Bank account records
<>Business record keeping books
<>Immigration documents (such as visas, passports, etc.)
<>Identification cards and birth certificates

=========================

Who might be interested in the overthrow of the US government?

I guess this means that Trump won’t get the non-immigrant work visa vote.

I hope they are doing facial recognition on all the illegals they catch and all the visa holders.

These colleges DO TEACH THOSE THINGS! And with the reduction in the foreign H-1B wage slave invaders more will study those STEM courses!

I hope they are collecting biometrics on all border apprehensions, comparing them to suitable databases prior to release and saving them. So that when the catch and release gang says “We don’t have anything on this one; we’ll let him go on his own with a hearing date a couple months in the future;” we can show he’d skipped his last three such hearings. Then start requiring biometrics for a suitable variety of welfare programs and compare databases.

I’ve made a lot of money fixing code written by H1B visa holders.

Cheaper is not better. (and not always cheaper when I have to re-write it)

Everything just takes longer because of 9th circuit, appeal, and Scotus. But look at what Trump’s doing to reshape the federal judiciary and that problem will not last forever. And those judges will be there for a long time.

The “einstein’ visa’s were anything but...

I suspect some countries are giving away college degrees with 3 cereal box tops, in order to qualify (and scam) the H1B program, judging by the work I’ve seen.

The jury is still out on that, unfortunately.

Trump is starting to have an effect: more H1B extensions are being rejected, more information technology H1Bs are selling off their cars and apartment things and flying home, outsource companies are starting to hire more Americans, and even the smell of curry in the breakroom is noticeably less frequent.
