The city of Chicago, Illinois, in partnership with big business, is launching an effort to score jobs for foreign H-1B visa workers who have been laid off from their tech jobs in recent weeks.

The city’s World Business Chicago group, which is a public-private firm, has joined P33, the Chicago Chamber of Commerce, the Corporate Coalition of Chicago, and others to fill jobs at companies like Caterpillar, Illinois Tech, John Deere, Ulta Beauty, and Walgreens with foreign H-1B visa workers who have recently been laid off.

If you want a smart, post-modern, leftist/socialist paid lackies, with no qualms over, or attachment to, Constitutional Rights or American traditions - import them from South Asia.

“Screw American born citizens huh?”

That’s been the motto of Democrats since the Clinton years and the GOP Establishment for a lot longer.

It’s why both factions hate Trump and wanted him gone by any means necessary.

Yes! Every state has employment agencies to match jobs with applicants. In the meanwhile there is 99 weeks of unemployment checks coming in.

How come Trump has employed thousands of non-US-born people?
Trump is a businessman at heart. He will employ anyone who can do the job.

H1-Bs are naturally in favor of displacing Americans.

Re #1. That’s right. When I was laid off both times to H1Bs in 2001 and 2002, nobody gave a hoot about us programmers. Even with knowledge of COBOL, CICS. and DB2, we were just dumped. I have no sympathy for the plight of H1Bs in the US. Send them home to the shit holes they came from.

How many unemployed black citizens live in Chicago?

“This demographic disparity rises as people grow older. In the age group of 20-24 years, 38% of African Americans are neither employed nor in school.”

H1-B are hired by American corporations.
Probably because it helps the bottom line. H1-B can not force any corporation to hire them. Why you blame the employee and not the corporation?
