April 9, 2015: Senators Ask Feds To Investigate Guest Worker Visa Abuse

"A bipartisan group of senators urged the Obama administration Thursday to investigate reports that businesses are using a visa program to replace American workers with cheap foreign labor.

The unlikely coalition, led by Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions and Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin, sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Labor and Department of Justice, asking them to investigate businesses, such as Southern California Edison, suspected of abusing work visa programs to avoid paying relatively high wages to American workers.

SCE has reportedly been laying off hundreds of American workers and replacing them with foreign workers who hold an H-1B visa and are willing to work for lower wages. Some American employees are basically forced to train their foreign replacements.

“Though such reports of H-1B-driven layoffs have been circulating for years, their frequency seems to have increased dramatically in the past year alone,” the senators wrote in the letter."....

Cruz also support increasing the H1B numbers?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Marco Rubio: lackey for un-American corporate scum.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

These corporate honchos should go live in China, where there demoralization of workers will be more than welcome.

PING!

I’ve heard, and read, that before. That just doesn’t make sense. How do you force an employee who is going to be let go to train his foreign replacement?

[BlackAdderess]

Walt Disney, we’re glad we knew you, but the pencil-pushing yes-men have taken over your company and now every storyline comes from the soul of the soulless.

H-1B ping. Let me know if you're not on the list and want to be added (or are and want to be removed).

[central_va]

Rubio obviously agrees, and has argued more guest workers and immigration generally will result in more jobs for Americans

Not only is that illogical but it doesn't even pass the laugh test.

Thanks for posting this. I have heard that the Fast Track trade bill has immigration expansion within the bill :(

During the Gang of Eight Amnesty debate, Senator Ted Cruz submits an amendment that calls for a “500% increase” in H1-B work visas:
