Government agencies around the country are hiring thousands of foreign H-1B workers to fill well-paid government jobs needed by U.S. graduates.
The governments hidden workforces of roughly 18,000 H-1B employees are an easy target for President Donald Trump as he searches for ways to open up good jobs for the many American graduates who have been forced out of jobs by the coronavirus crash.
Trump also needs to do something because he has yet to begin to deliver any part of his dramatic 2016 campaign trail promise: I will end the use of the H-1B as a cheap labor program forever and institute an absolute requirement to hire American workers first for every visa and immigration program. No exceptions.
The H-1Bs are being imported and hired at all levels of government throughout the United States.
A small share of the H-1Bs is hired directly by government offices, via a deliberately complex and lengthy process managed by the Departments of Labor, State, and Homeland Security, plus a small army of immigration lawyers.
For example, roughly 130 foreign H-1B employees are being hired by organizations with department in their names. They include the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the New York Police Department, and the Arkansas Department of Public Safety, according to the labor department data.
Many more H-1B are imported by U.S. or Indian staffing companies and are then leased by government agencies. So the federal data from October to late March shows that roughly 3,000 H-1Bs have been requested or leased by government departments from various staffing firms.
The departments include transportation, agriculture, labor, health and human services, and interior. Roughly 85 H-1Bs are being sought for the federal and state Departments of Labor, including the labor departments in Vermont, Idaho, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. [

To use a Bidenism, Come on man! If President Trump had no plan to halt H1-B’s why would 9 RINO’s compose and sign their names to a letter to President Trump with their concerns about the H1-B visa issue?
Trump has made several statements about seriously limiting or even halting such visa’s. Some of his cabinet members have made similar statements citing the Wuhan Virus shutdown and the high unemployment rate resulting from it.
These 9 RINO’s are obviously taking this action as a result of Lobbyist pressure who are big donors to their election campaigns.
You spelled “forever” wrong.
Coulter has been willing to call Trump out on his immigration and visa hypocriscy, which is somewhere between a broken promise and a lie. Not happy Trump has not stood up for the American worker.
BUMP!
Trump has made several statements about seriously limiting or even halting such visas. Some of his cabinet members have made similar statements citing the Wuhan Virus shutdown and the high unemployment rate resulting from it.
Your second paragraph answers your question. In my book, a "plan" that has been "set in motion" means more than statements - YMMV.
I certainly hope those statements lead to a plan and then to action.
These 9 RINOs are obviously taking this action as a result of Lobbyist pressure who are big donors to their election campaigns.
On that we agree.
Apparently, the 9 RINO’s took the president’s words and those of several cabinet members seriously enough to compose their letter seeking to continue the never-ending flow of H1-B workers into our country regardless of the 40 million unemployed Americans.
A formal, detailed plan isn’t needed. As President, a decree in the form of an EO is all that is necessary for this matter.
The 9 RINO’s understand this and are attempting to get Trump to back off his position on this.
Then why say the President has one - or that it has been set into motion?
As President, a decree in the form of an EO is all that is necessary for this matter.
I hope that action comes to pass.
I was reporting on what took place on Lou Dobbs program last night. Those were Lou Dobbs words as he went off on a passionate rant against the 9 RINO’s on his program and challenged any of them to a debate on the subject.
Tucker Carlson did much the same on his show last night minus the challenge for a debate with any one of the nine.
Well, technically, stating an intent to do something is a plan. For example, I plan on going to the store at 3:00 PM this afternoon.
Learn to code, Bumbai. Oh, never mind.
I haven't seen the President or any cabinet member stating the intent to halt H-1Bs. Have you?
No. But, according to Dobbs and Carlson he has and they believe the letter from the 9 RINO’s is the result of that intent.
