GOP Activist: Suspend All Work Visas Until U.S. Graduates Get Jobs
Breitbart ^ | 11 Apr 2020 | NEIL MUNRO

GOP and Democrat politicians can win massive support from millions of young graduates by just opposing the inflow of foreign visa workers into the good jobs that American graduates need to pay their college debts, says Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA.

“You’ve got 5 million kids that are scheduled to graduate, with no ceremony, in the next three to four weeks [and] they’re going to be entering the worst job market in American history,” he said in an April 9 tweet:

[...] we should pass the RAISE Act by Sen. Tom Cotton which cuts our visas dramatically.

Turning Point USA has built many groups on many U.S. campuses, where many students are rising up against their universities’ growing and profitable participation in the visa worker economy. The wave of activism has gained strength as the coronavirus crash has destroyed 2020 job opportunities for many soon-to-be graduates.

Nationwide, Congress’s many visa programs keep roughly 1.5 million foreign nationals in a variety of jobs — including many of the start jobs that U.S. graduates need to get job experience in business and healthcare, engineering and math, fashion and design, and software and science.

[...] Many Americans are denied jobs by foreign hiring managers who expect secret cash kickbacks from often-unqualified fellow nationals, while U.S. managers and civil rights officials look away. [...]

U.S. innovation declines as American professionals get isolated and replaced by ethnic coalitions of visa workers who are helping each extract as much money as they can before returning home. [...]

“Many Americans are denied jobs by foreign hiring managers who expect secret cash kickbacks from often-unqualified fellow nationals, while U.S. managers and civil rights officials look away”

The dominant hiring tactic in the Oh-So-Politically-Correct Santa Clara Valley, sometimes known as “Silicon Valley”

Just call it Silicon Slum, since it’s beginning to resemble Mumbai, or Bombay, or whatever odd syllables they’re calling it these days...

He’s absolutely right. Not just until graduates get jobs either. Cut H1bs drastically and permanently.

Tech is simply telling these young graduates they’re not worth hiring.

What a dick thing to say. The USA had plenty of STEM grads that are unemployed or underemployed.

Common sense but most in government have sold America out to countries like India and China.

On behalf of trump, jivanka accepting payments from tech industry to keep h1b going.

They are there now in new task force to do bidding for tech moguls and climate change mafia.
