Jeff Bezos, the #1 provider of H-1B visas, is America’s Mr. Potter. But the people want a George Bailey America! [Fox News interview for this at URL]
X.com ^ | 12/30/24 (7:34 PM) | Evita Duffy-Alfonso

[Fox News host:] "It's a wonderful life is an all-American classic, it's also my favorite film. It's cherished across the country for almost eighty years now, but fans of the film are livid over Amazon's abridged version of the 1946 film on its streaming service. Amazon cut the Pottersville scene. Evita, so why did Amazon erase this scene, and I guess more important is Jeff Bezos the new Mr Potter?"

[Duffy-Alfonso]: "Well let's talk about Mr Potter's version of Bedford Falls. This is a monopolistic system that's based off debt slavery and gambling, prostitution, it's completely devoid of Christian ethics. Jeff Bezos' Amazon, like alot of companies, is completely devoid of Christian ethics. Amazon uses its monopolistic power to crush small businesses, it allegedly steals intellectual property, silences conservative voices, specifically conservative authors, it also is the largest provider of H1-b visas, which is something that is devaluing American labor, it's creating a serf class of American citizens, by importing cheap foreign labor, it is capitalism without conscience..."

*Taking events back to the recent beginning, not the beginning-beginning over H1-b, for lack of better words, I don't think this can be blamed upon the media, as they ultimately reported on the pushback by Loomer and Gaetz and on comments they pushed back against from a Trump appointee, all of which was followed by pushback by two other Trump appointees, also reported on by the media, and subsequent pushback against them by MAGA at large and once again reported on by the media. Nor do I think this was all contrived to "read the MAGA room" either as that could ultimately lead to the initial Trump appointee, whose words were pushed back on by Loomer and Gaetz, being thrown under the bus, and obviously not intended.*

This is all alot bigger than just a few people.

It’s not about racism; that claim is from the Woke Light, America Last, RINO, establishment, and leftoids running down MAGA.

It isn’t about merit, either. Foreigners aren’t merited American jobs.

America is not an economic zone.

There are plenty of Americans qualified for the jobs given to foreigners, and many others have been laid off and replaced with H1-b foreigners.

If someone claims to be America First, they then would ostensibly be putting Americans first, ala faith without works is dead.

A multitude of H1-b jobs seems to be going to people whom can hardly be considered the top 1%, which is what it was created for, and O-1 was created for those considered to be even more exceptional than those.

Crazy how not a single European country cracked the top 8 for H1B. Theres no tech talent in Europe?

https://x.com/GavinWax/status/1873784916472898013

American engineers, on average, are better than those from India/China. H1B IS NOT the visa for best/brightest, thats the O-1 visa He either knows and is lying, or is insufficiently informed

Data shows US college seniors studying computer science outperform their foreign counterparts by almost a standard deviation. Indian college seniors rank as the weakest performers. Follow:

When American execs find out about H1B

https://x.com/truthteller_x1/status/1873812235765813275

The claim that America is inferior in STEM is calumny. What is true is that Americans in STEM behave like *Americans*. Our own scientists aren’t going to act like employees. Our engineers aren’t going to say “Whatever you say boss!” We aren’t lining up to sign your DEI oaths.

Corporate America Promised to Hire a Lot More People of Color.
It Actually Did

“The year after Black Lives Matter protests, the S&P 100 added more than 300,000 jobs — 94% went to people of color.

September 25, 2023.

The overall job growth included 20,524 White workers. The other 302,570 jobs — or 94% of the headcount increase — went to people of color.

People of color make up a minority of the US population, and in most cases are underrepresented at big US companies. In 2021, Hispanic, Asian and Black people made up a vast majority of the added workers...”

How many immigrants are in the American workforce

Of the 169 million workers in the United States, more than 32 million are immigrants. That’s over 19% of the workforce.

It’s all greed. The cartel$ pay off/bribe the disciples of deceit in D.C. to ensure those borders remain wide open, and thousands of greedy business owners in the U.S. hire illegal servant labor by the millions.

This is how the term, “Vicious circle” is defined.

H-1B DATA MEGA-THREAD  I downloaded five years of H-1B data from the US DOL website (4M+ records) and spent the day crunching data. I went into this with an open mind, but, to be honest, I’m now *extremely* skeptical of how this program works. Here’s what I found

H1B is just another part of D.C.s chain immigration. It’s all a sham. The corrupt in D.C. come up with all these programs to get millions more foreigners in, but the bottom line is, cheap labor, all while the globalist flood the country with millions from the 3rd world... You know, to get us on their level. Level the playing field. Too bad USA.

But since you brought it up, we can’t have suffocating socialism, but we can’t have compassionless capitalism either.

Nope.

The delusions of relevance coming out of the Twitterverse and Conservative Inc are pretty amusing to watch

The 10s of millions of voters who are on their 3rd or 4th career due to lay off, downsizing, outsourcing etc over the years really don’t have a whole lot of sympathy for this entitled attitude among a few thousand IT types that they should all some how be immune to this.

Voters are much more interested in what Trump and the GOP are going to do to control inflation fix the US economy, end the Biden Wars, fix illegal immigration etc then they are about what Conservative INC and the Twittervese are squealing about today.

When all the Whiner Choir in Conservative Inc do everyday is rush to find new thing to scream about, everyone else simply stop listening to their daily temper tantrums

Before this week I never realized how many freepers lived foreign invasions of America. Elon’s tone towards 47’s base and lust for MORE FOREIGN WORKERS is unacceptable. He will fall from Trump’s graces very soon mark my words. Incompatible visions!

I wish it was that simplistic.

It’s all temporary bandaids if you don’t have the borders controlled, which also means who comes in for H1-b jobs.

Trump tariffs are about lessing lost American jobs, and ending H1-b would save a vast amount of American jobs:

“To start with, this program is MASSIVELY popular with employers. The program has a statutory limit of 85,000 visas per year, but employers routinely receive approval for more than 800k applications per year (868k, or 10x the limit, in 2024).”

85,000 H1-B visas a year are way down the priority list for the 10s of millions of voters who elected Trump

This is Conservative INC looking for something to bitch about because that is all the Whiner’s Choir know how to do.

No, you don’t decide that for others, you are engaging in personal attacks as your argument which automatically makes you a liberal.

You might as well say 85,000 jobs aren’t coming back in other areas, so need for Trump to use tariffs and other means to bring them back. And you sound like one who thinks Trump was wrong in 2016 and now to bring back lost factory jobs from overseas. I mean, what’s 85,000 to you, or 150k?

I would say it’s well over half of MAGA that are infuriated over the H1-b abuse.

It’s jobs shipped overseas, cheap labor illegals coming into the US, plus rampant H1-b abuse.
