Big Tech, Koch Network Cheer Biden’s Amnesty to Flood U.S. Labor Market [including work visas]
Breitbart ^ | 19 Feb 2021 | JOHN BINDER

Posted on 02/24/2021 12:51:57 PM PST by NobleFree

Big tech’s lobbying arm and the Koch brothers’ network of donor class organizations are cheering on President Joe Biden’s amnesty plan that would pack the United States labor market with more foreign visa workers for business to hire over American graduates and professionals.

This week, Biden’s amnesty plan was introduced in Congress by Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) as Democrats look to increase foreign competition in the U.S. workforce while more than 17 million Americans are jobless.

Among other things, the plan would:

Put nearly all illegal aliens in the U.S. on an eight-year path to citizenship

Provide $4 billion in foreign aid to Central America

Expand the U.S. labor market with more foreign visa workers

Expedite green cards for foreign relatives, otherwise known as “chain migration”

Potentially add 52 million foreign-born residents to the U.S. population

Eliminate per-country caps, ensuring India monopolizes employment green cards

Increase the Diversity Visa Lottery program where visas are given out randomly

Provide green cards to foreign students who graduate in advanced STEM fields

Bring already deported illegal aliens back to the U.S. to provide them amnesty

For Amazon, millions of newly legalized illegal aliens, foreign visa workers, and chain migrants who would be added to the U.S. labor market as a result of the plan are a boon to multinational corporations’ profits. [...]

Specifically, aside from providing Amazon with more foreign visa workers to hire, the plan includes a green card giveaway that would create a green card system where only H-1B foreign visa workers are able to obtain employment-based visas by creating a backlog of seven to eight years for all foreign nationals.

The process would reward outsourcing firms and tech corporations for the decades of outsourcing American jobs to H-1B foreign visa workers. [...]

So you hire STEM workers based on English skills? Wait, what?

Depends on the school.

However, a lot of the oversea students are worse. Most schools will give them great grades in order to keep the money train coming.

My alma Mater has a prof that I went through undergrad with in engineering. They said “We have to pass the kids, or face massive loss of revenue. So don’t hire anyone from X school from Y, they are incompetent”.

I have hired a few great young bloods, a handful of decent ones, and a bunch that aren’t worth the price of the diploma.

It is called supply and demand. Stopping the H-1B rape will cause the demand for domestic STEM majors go up, wages go up, students respond accordingly when choosing their majors. I am living proof of that.

All good points. I’m a civil engineer, so we have professional licensing exams that really separate the wheat from the chaff.

I could offer entry-level engineers a starting salary of $500,000 ... and if they’ve gone through schools that teach the slop that has become commonplace in public education these days, it won’t do a damn bit of good.

LOL. That’s the nicest thing you’ve said about me in years.

So we may have a pipeline problem - but currently there is no shortage of competent STEM-trained Americans.

What bothered me most about recent U.S. graduates in my field wasn’t their technical skills; it was their disgracefully poor command of the English language.

Don't restrict yourself to recent grads.

For that money - or probably substantially less - you could get much more than entry-level experience and skills.

I had an intern that was illiterate.

No joke. She could not read at a second grade level. Not an immigrant.

She also demanded to be paid for her time shopping for work clothes. We wore uniforms.

I can hardly wait for the “ban math” movement to spread beyond Oregon

Nope.

So what's the point in buying American anymore? Just so they can replace us with cheap foreign labor.

I'm not giving up, but I'll buy from red states or US allies to the best of my ability now.

Yes, absolutely. Proper written English is a hard requirement at my firm.

This is f-ing retarded. If the going rate for engineering grads was actually $500K the best and the brightest would go into it. Get it? Plus your main problem is you seem like a real d1ck. People can detect that. Nobody with a brain wants to work for d!ck. So keep on low balling....

Drive all wages to 15 will be the outcome. Why study STEM if it’s going to pay 15. Might as well flip burgers.

Still telling your scummy lies, eh, creep?
