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.

They really don’t care about American citizens.
Indian graduates to take U.S. jobs from middle class American graduates.
“Roughly 108 Republicans have co-sponsored the green card giveaway, called HR.104”:
My Rep ia not on this list. Good!
Sad example of our donor-bound Reps.
That 2014 Silicon Valley collusion trial was one of the best kept secrets in American history.
I don’t recall seeing even one MSM detailed report about the final verdict.
This story first broke about one week ago on a couple of the immigration specialist websites.
You know what disturbs me the most?
No mention of Donald Trump.
Our Immigration-Warrior-In-Chief (LOL!) has not said ONE word about Congress trying to fast track this veto proof immigration bill past his desk.
Trump is not stupid or weak.
In my opinion, Trump is totally (and silently) complicit on passing this bill.
The author forgot to mention that Asian-Indian Americans are overwhelmingly Leftist.
2012 - 80% of Asian-Indians vote to reelect Obama.
2016 - 77% of Asian-Indians vote for Hillary Clinton.
More billionaire marxists wanting low wage workers to displace native talent, especially workers over 40.
You’re right. We’ve been telling kids to avoid tech careers.
If these job thieves were shipped home, how many of our kids could be employed in their place, with a job that could make a dent in student loan paybacks?
Keep these job thieves here & we will be providing student loan forgiveness.
Another incentive for attracting immigrants.

Why aren’t these American kids working here? Just watch the clip.
What a POS.

It not that they don’t care, we don’t even exist to them. We are invisible.
I wish folks luck with Tom Reed.
His district will likely be gerrymandered. Again.
I’m betting he votes for it because of that.
No film at 11:00.
Trump signs this then he will turn a blow out election into a nail biter.
Enemies of the American people!
Admittedly tech is worse than other areas about this but a lot of people have a complacent attitude about it. ie “oh it’s just Tech”. NO ITS NOT!
I’ve seen it. For every one of them that gets employed (or at least a large percentage), an American misses out. If that American is competitive, sure they’ll catch on somewhere but at a lower level for less pay and at a less prestigious company that does not look as good on their resume as they otherwise would have. The less qualified American they displace in turn gets pushed down the ladder further etc and ends up having to take a Starbucks barista type job instead of at least getting their foot on the first rung of the ladder in the corporate world.
Those Americans then put off getting married and starting families if at all and put off buying houses. Oh, and when the companies do look to promote, where are they going to look? Hint: it’s not from the ranks of the displaced Americans. This is bad in the present, but really AWFUL for the future of the country. It’s millennials who are getting screwed over the hardest. You’d think they would wake up. Fear of being called “racist” is causing many of them to passively sit back and watch as they get screwed over.
We need our President to publicly denounce this bill, and all involved.
Unfortunately, he supports this sort of thing.
The GOP Free Traitors™ don’t give damn. Most Freepers are to old or too libertarian to care about this.
“All the tech fields are flooded with cheap foreign labor. “
In 2000 the average rate for a contract Project Manager in the IT field was $80/hr.
Today, nearly 20 years later, the average rate is about $55/hr.
Remember, these are not full time positions, they are temporary contracts.
And yes, those at the top of the field are still making good money. I stated averages.
This is the kind of sh!t that will hurt Trump badly. It makes me worry a lot.
