White House Extends 100,000 Work Permits for H-1B Wives from India
Breitbart ^ | 09.22.19 | Neil Munro

Posted on 09/26/2019 10:02:54 AM PDT by Freedom56v2

The Department of Homeland Security has again delayed a plan to cancel 100,000 work permits which were printed for the Indian spouses of H-1B visa workers by President Barack Obama.

At this point, DHS has informed counsel that it believes the earliest possible publication date for that [H4EAD cancellation] rule would be in spring 2020,” said a September 16 letter to a judge who is overseeing a lawsuit against the program. “Although that timeframe is aspirational,” the letter added

The rule was drafted at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agency to help implement President Donald Trump’s “Hire American” Inauguration Day promise. But it has been held up by reviewers at the White House’s Office of Management and Budget amid business groups lobbying to keep the visas.

But the cancellation delay is a domestic 2020 problem for Trump because he needs to rebuild support among the GOP’s traditional college-graduate supporters in suburbia, many of who voted Democrat in 2016 and 2018.

The rebuilding is made even more complicated when the administration supports the Indian visa programs because they are a direct economic and status threat to the well being of their college graduates’ families and the future careers of their children.

Nationwide, Indians comprise at least two-thirds of the roughly 1.4 million white-collar foreign visa-workers who have taken jobs in office parks around the nation, even though many skilled and debt-burdened young American graduates are eager for those jobs. The Indians work as software developers, tax consultants, designers, accountants, engineers, doctors, and increasingly as recruiters and day-to-day managers of many American firms.

This year-round population of U.S.-based Indian college graduate visa workers is far larger than the shifting population of roughly 500,000 blue-collar H-2A, H-2B, and J-1 visa workers.

I don't know what is going to happen. The bureaucracy and deep state will not relent and refuses to accept oversight and supervision form elected officials. The immigration invasion is continuing without abatement. I feel the USA is lost. Sorry for future generations.

There is no American worker middle class party or representation in government. It is a joke.

I just hope some noise is being made by American middle class—so that Trump will notice and see he has a lot of base support to Veto this turd of a bill!

Calls to White House is the next step if Lee is successful...

Half of India is trying to relocate to the U.S.

If you have ever been there, and I have, this is a very scary thing. All their upper castes want to come here. Where does that leave India? I pretty good shape as all these H1 ppl will be sending back massive remittances for a long time,

The other part of this is that while ‘the wives’ may also be permitted to work, many other family members are coming in also. Whether they leave or not I do not know, but I see big families traveling thru every day. Driving away in Escalades
