As someone personally deeply and profoundly affected by the whole H1-B scam system, in multiple aspects, this is sickening beyond belief.

Most of these Indian H1B scumbags make between 17% (bachelors) and 34% (certificate/ diploma/associates) less than median industry wage. Level 3 (Masters of some sort) makes industry median wage and Level 4s (PhDs) make above industry median wage are very rare, per the USCIS database.

Getting Dalit recruiter emails offering $20 to $25 an hour for 5 to 6 years experience with no benefits and a 3 to 6 month contract at Microsoft. Minimum wage in King County is $16.39/ hr.

they all probably know that trump will take all of the heat for the veto.

clinton reversed on nafta and gatt in 1993, his first year of office.

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/nri/visa-and-immigration/h-1b-visa-major-inflection-points-since-it-was-introduced-in-1990/articleshow/57009253.cms

h1b introduced in 1990, during ghwb presidency. it started to become a problem in silicon valley hi tech around then iirc.

clinton nearly doubled allowances in 1998 and again in 2000. things got correspondingly worse in silicon valley and (i imagine) in other hi tech centers around then.

Trump is the ONLY one that has the back of Americans such as myself.

Sessions did... and his replacement Tuberville was owned by India before he even took office. And Freepers attacked people like me when we brought up Tuberville’s pro-H1B and amnesty stance

"Got correspondingly worse" but not for the rich (political donors)- it got better for them, only American workers suffered.

Lets just say...Lee has never been a Republican. He gives a good fake act but he ought to identify himself as just a unity-party member. He won’t even represent his home-state.

I am over sixety, i have seen enough of the democrat nonesense in this country to say; the only way to solve pur troubles now is to rise up and throw off the bonds of totalitarian government, uniparty included. Overthrow all of them, we out number them. The time is now, empty the house, the senate, instal Trump as president, all voting by paper ballot only. Start at the federal level.

It’s reported that Mumbai Mike now wants to allow Indian H1Bs to work at all levels of the US Federal Government, reversing Trump’s ban.

Re: "It's reported that Mumbai Mike now wants to allow Indian H1Bs to work at all levels of the US Federal Government, reversing Trump's ban."

There was never a ban on H1Bs in the federal government.

Local, state, and federal agencies, all universities, and all non-profit research centers can hire as many H1Bs as they want.

They have NO quota. They are not even required to report how many they hire.

200,000 is the best estimate of how many have been hired.

That is 200,000 ABOVE the statutory quota of 510,000.

In addition, there are another 200,000 H1Bs off the books because they have formally applied and been sponsored for a Green Card.

They can work indefinitely in the USA until their Green Card application is adjudicated.

I forgot to mention the OPT work visa, which is a H1B for foreign students who just graduated from USA universities.

Trump increased OPT foreign workers from 125,000 under Obama to almost 225,000 today.

Trump has done nothing consequential to reduce the number of H1Bs, and Trump has almost doubled the number of OPTs.
