“highly skilled”.

That almost required me to get a new keyboard.

“because there aren’t skilled workers in America”

Say the corporatist BILLIONAIRES who have become among the richest people in the WORLD by depressing wages in an industry for over a generation.

Google said on Friday ‘it was leading’ about 30 companies and trade groups....

Sounds like Google’s Board of Directors is flinging their power over the nation.

These corporations are NOT American companies. They are globalist companies controlled by communist China.

Missed that one. There can't be "90,000 spouses of highly skilled U.S. visa workers" because there aren't 900 highly skilled U.S. visa workers; the majority are drones with diploma-mill degrees and fictional resumes who get jobs only because they're cheap and compliant.

Mike Lee (AD-UT) is in their corner fighting for foreigners rights to American jobs.

Indians and Mexicans are taking over the skilled white- and blue-collar work, respectively, in the US.

What’s left? Well there are 8.1 million no-benefits unskilled part-time jobs paying near minimum wage that needs filling.

$2.13 plus tips or $7.25/hr await. Maybe those Freepers that complain about us “moochers” should be first in line to take one of these wage slave jobs?

I saw something recently where it had a breakdown of Big Tech companies with the most H1B applicants annually, and Google was the largest.

And it also had a breakdown of where their H1B applicants were coming from, and by far, some crazy number like 75% were coming from Communist China...the country that is the leader in surveilling their OWN citizenry.

The recent revelation that the Biden Administration wants to partner with Big Tech (think: Google) to gather information on US Citizens because...they cannot legally gather it via our intelligence services.

This should scare the crap out of all real Americans.

When Trump banned H1Bs last year, Dalit recruiters changed their job listings to say H4 visas welcome.

The Government, CoC and Big Tech are are controlled by NASSCOM (an Indian trade group)

Sick when even Indian spouses (H4EADs are 96% Indian) are considered more qualified then Americans with decades of experience.

But as some Freepers say, us skilled Americans should stop being “Moochers” and you take a minimum wage job at McDonald’s.

Wait for phase 3. It’s coming. 500,000 DALCA (Indian kids with parents on H1B) kids are demanding the same rights as DACA.

Communist China is #2.

By far the vast, vast number of H1Bs are from India.

Varies from year to year, but it’s 70% to 90% from India. In 2019, it’s 71.9% from India.

Last year, Communist China was 11% (82% aggregate between India and Communist China)

It was specifically at Google where they were overwhelmingly number one from Communist China (and I recall India was #2)...were the statistics you saw overall for the USA?

Overall USA numbers direct from USCIS

Mostly Indian H1B scumbags.

Okay, good. I had been viewing a breakdown by Big Tech Company, and of Google’s share, the majority of theirs by far were from Communist China followed in distant 2nd place by India...

To the idiot Freeper that claims Indian H1Bs are not in the millions:

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/data/h-1b-2007-2017-trend-tables.pdf

Almost 3 million Indian H1Bs (if you add in 2018 to 2020).

Remember Google mostly hides its H1B numbers behind 3rd party placement contractor firms - almost 100% Indian-owned and operated.

Add in OPTs - about 200k a year since 2016 (Obama lifted the cap on this)

In fiscal year 2019, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) approved 223,284 requests for Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) for all types of OPT—the highest number ever. 28% were India. Communist China was #2 at 14%

https://www.cato.org/blog/facts-about-optional-practical-training-opt-foreign-students

H4EADs were 100k a year - 96% Indian

https://www.cato.org/blog/facts-about-h-4-visas-spouses-h-1b-workers

Where the OP Article posted above got 90k aggregate is unknown. It’s been around 100k the past 5 years. Again, mostly Indian.

The Chinese are robotic, but some of them do have actual skills (though no more than many Americans), unlike the Indians.
