A Hillary Clinton administration “would not be government of, or for, the people, but would, instead, be government against the people,” Emmons warned.
Emmons, who was one of the nation’s first whistleblowers to expose the displacement of American workers by foreign nationals brought in on guest worker visas, is one of thousands of American workers to have lost his job as a result of the cheap labor practices of the India-based outsourcing firm, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)–a Clinton Foundation donor whose anti-American worker business model has been “enabled” and endorsed by Hillary Clinton.
Emmons said that his interactions with Clinton in 2003 opened his eyes to the cynical and corrupt pay-for-play tactics of a career politician, guided and consumed by her desire for self-advancement and personal enrichment.
As Emmons watched Clinton’s office rebuff his “desperate” pleas for help–choosing, instead, to stand with a foreign corporation at the direct expense of the American workers she was elected to represent–that was the moment, “my naïveté was over,” Emmons said. “That was when I realized exactly what this was: I realized it’s the government against the people.”
“As naïve as I was then, I now know that politicians like Hillary are not out to do what’s right for the people of America; they’re out to do what’s right for the people who donate money to them,” Emmons said.
“Working Americans are the ones that should really care [about this election],” Emmons said. “If you’re a working American, Trump is the only person who is going to work for us.”

Interestingly, Tata has given tens of thousands of dollars to the Clinton Foundation. The Clintons also have financial ties to the India-based consulting firm responsible for the replacement of scores of American workers at Disney in Orlando, Florida.
Ping!
I just returned from Las Vegas. Nevada has one of the higher unemployment rates in the United States. The vast majority of the workers were foreign nationals in the casinos and businesses. Some were legal and many were not.
What is wrong with this picture?
You American workers can starve to death while being homeless on the streets.
We, the elite, have found how to force cheap foreign labor so we can still profit. We’ll use humanistic terms to lull the sheep to sleep. We’ll write “laws” to protect us and our friends while doing so, too.
Once the sheeple awaken, it will be far too late. We gotta make our money before this whole turkey collapses. Please donate to our corrupt two-party system.
H1B visas are expressly used to fill job vacancies where there is a lack of American workers qualified to fill a particular job function and where a qualified foreign job applicant has the necessary skill set to provide that job function
Using the H1B visa to bring in a foreign worker to directly replace an existing employee is against the intent of the law and constitutes immigration fraud and probably other counts of fraud on the part of the employer who applied for the H1B visa
It is wholesale evil, period.
I expect Trump to bring up McDonald’s request for H1b accountants. Hosting companies are supposed to state the special skills not found among American workers.
I don’t always know what stands in for this due diligence.
Nobody is requiring a US company not to use contractors in general. In a time of greater financial uncertainty this may make more business sense. This, as I would read it, puts the responsibility for choosing people on the contracting company.
What about a situation where the contracting company is using offshore people, that you KNOW are not Americans, though. Who is the responsible party now? The contracting company or the the US company?
What is wrong with this picture?
From a May 4 article:
The pundits and commentators and pols and prognosticators will all identify multifarious political fault lines to explain the looming epic American battle between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton – women vs. Trump; evangelicals vs. Hillary; Hispanics vs. white, working-class Americans with no college; the LBGT community vs. traditionalists; old vs. young. It’s all important, but not very. Any true understanding of this election requires an appreciation of the one huge political fault line that is driving America into a period of serious political tremors, certain to jolt the political Richter scale. It is nationalists vs. globalists.

The H1B provision was originally structured (an still is unless changed) such that the hiring company itself looking for a foreign job applicant had to initiate the H1B Visa request to fill a job description documenting the unique job requirements of the position that made it such that the company could not fill the job position from the American pool of workers, how and why there was no suitable American applicant to fill the job, and a justification for the individual foreign applicant listing his/her unique job skills to fill the unique job no American was available for.(ie it was done on a person by person basis for an already screened job applicant the company wanted to hire and required a H1B Visa and Green Card to complete the hire, not a blanket or generic request for 10 H1B visas so they could go out and recruit foreign workers to replace Americans)
It was quite an involved process.
The process never envisioned blanket visas to bring foreign contractors A typical applicant was recent Foreign PhD graduate from an American University who, by virtue of his research, had unique technical skills required by a certain industry, or a Werner Von Braun or Albert Einstein type who had exceptional job skills as technician or teacher.
Look what refugees/foreign workers have done to the streets of Paris.
Absolutely disgusting- and coming HERE

.
It sure looks to me like abuse has been taking place. I do not greet with cheer a growth of bureaucracy without end but ignoring the situation is worse.
This is about these “refugees” not about the India hiring blitz.
Or, the subcontracting process is a big loop hole in what we have going on now.
Yes, there are massive abuses of the H1B program and setting up shell contracting companies to “manufacture” jobs is one of them.
And make no mistake about it - H1B was often a way to bring in cheap foreign labor.
A typical Foreign H1B Visa applicant in the Silicone Valley back in the day was a recent PhD grad from MIT, Berkley, Stanford or Cal Tech who hailed from Taiwan, China, Korea or India who had just received his degree in some hot new hi tech field .
The deal was the foreign applicant would work for around half the pay of similar American citizen and in return the hiring company would sponsor that student for H1B status all the way to permanent resident status on the citizenship track .
The PhD would work like a dog as a hi tech indentured servant for the 3-5 years it took to get a permanent residence visa. At that point the PhD was free apply for other jobs and either was given a huge raise or moved no to higher paying job.
It was win/win for all involved and lots of Presidents and CEOs of hi tech companies started out this way
So how would it apply to contracting companies? How does it apply to offshore? Seems to me we have loopholes here.
If this happened to me my replacement would be the dumbest of the group and I would go out on a disability.
In any given year, there are (maybe) a few hundred people who meet the legitimate purpose of H1B. The rest of the H1Bs are hired, not because companies are unable to find a qualified applicant, but because companies can't find US applicants willing to work for Third World wages.
Limit the number of H1B visas to a few hundred, and put them up for auction, and the abuse would stop. Companies would be willing to pay a $million to bring in the next Albert Einstein, but not a lowly coder.
