House Sets Tuesday Vote on Green Card Giveaway to 300,000 Indian H-1B Contract Workers
Breitbart ^ | July 8, 2019 | Neil Munro

Posted on 07/08/2019 8:15:45 PM PDT by Freedom56v2

Democratic-run House will decide Tuesday whether to put at least 300,000 Indian contract workers on a fast track to valuable green cards, so incentivizing more low wage Indian graduates to take U.S. jobs from middle class American graduates.

Roughly 108 Republicans have co-sponsored the green card giveaway, called HR.1044, the “”Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2019” — even though the Democrats’ legislation is backed by Silicon Valley investors who oppose GOP.

Democrats also have kept the legislation secret — the bill has had no hearing or committee votes — and it is being quarterbacked by the immigration lawyer who helped Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer write the disastrous “Gang of Eight” amnesty in 2013.

These 1.2 million foreign workers are eager to take Americans’ jobs at low wages, in part, because the federal government also allows employers to nominate them for hugely valuable green cards. Companies save a fortune in salaries by offering this taxpayer-funded bonus to their foreign contract-workers.

Companies have also used this green card process to create an extra army of roughly 350,000 contract-workers in the United States. Under federal rules, the short-term contract-workers become long-term indentured workers once their employers file the green card application. This subservient work-and-wait legal status continues for years until the contract-workers get out of the backlog once they get green cards and become legal immigrants.

“Employers love [because] this is an astonishing subsidy for tech employers … this bill would extend that [backlog and indentured service] model … This will turn the entire employment-based immigration system into the indentured-service model,” a source told Breitbart.

These two armies of 1.5 million contract workers take prestigious jobs in healthcare, business, engineering, software, teaching, research, journalism, in Silicon Valley, in the fashion industry, in universities and even cutting edge, computer chip manufacturing companies.

This problem of not educating for non college type jobs in public schools started well before the Obama administration. Perhaps some who were in high school between the 1960s and Obama admin. can she some light. When I was in high school in the mid 1950’s our school had a good balanced approach.


Well I was not in HS in the 1960s, but I do remember having a vocational-tech program/track.

Obama is who was pushing for everyone to go to college—of course that really meant everyone should be taking out massive government loans and having minimal job prospects upon graduation from college with worthless degrees...

A vast, vast majority of these recruiters through email and phone are Indian body shops calling from. India. Americans simply can’t a first real interview. Mail box gets full of these scammers who will only contact you to ‘prove’ to the US government there are no qualified Americans. 99 out of 100 times, you can’t even understand the recruiter calling with their impossible to understand Indian accent accompanying their fake American name.

A lot of Free Traitors say just take up a trade. Fine, if Jose from Tijuana didn’t dominate the most of trades.

Even with the loosening of DOT regulations, Indians H1Bs are starting to move into the OTR area.

You’ve just described my life.

Many suggest keeping the all-important Word Formatted resume out of Desi hands. They’ll use your resume for their visa workers & simply change the name.

I don’t bother trying to understand them. I have Google Voice take their calls.
