Internet billionaire Marc Benioff is urging the GOP Congress and President Donald Trump to fast-track 400,000 foreign visa-workers — plus 400,000 family members — to green cards, the U.S. job market, and the ballot box.
“This is good for our economy,” Benioff said in a Tuesday tweet that was applauded by Silicon Valley lobbyists. “We need to grow our workers to grow our economy.”
Benioff’s comment is a tautology: Expanding the population by importing more than 800,000 people would obviously grow the nation’s economy, retail sales, government taxes, company profits, and Wall Street stock options.
But Benioff’s cheap-labor importation plan would also shrink the income and careers sought by millions of American college graduates, many of whom will vote in 2020 for or against Trump.
The planned giveaway is in a pending House bill, dubbed H.R. 392. It is also hidden in the House version of the 2019 funding package for the Department of Homeland Security. If Trump accepts that funding package, he will help companies import more cheap visa-workers from India and China an inflict more economic and career damage to the nation’s professional-status workforce of at least 55 million American college-graduates.
The nation’s workforce now includes roughly 1.5 million foreign college-graduate contract-workers who are imported via the H-1B, L-1, OPT, O-1, J-1, and other visa programs. These outsourcing workers are not immigrants, but instead, they are contract workers hired for one to six years, at lower wages, to take jobs that would otherwise go to American graduates.

They should go open offices in India and Bangladesh (et al) if they want to hire so many workers from these countries.
Bastards.
deport Beniof
Can’t get enough of those low paid workers, eh?
Good for Beinoff and the Silicon Valley elite, not for the economy.
Benioff was single handedly responsible for the RFRA attack on the GOP in Indiana - he’s a socialist twat who got his money by being cut throat and thinks he’s now enlightened and is going to save the world with it.

All these millionaires and billionaires should donate funds to build the wall.

The billionaires can build a penal colony for us in Siberia. One volunteer prisoner goes overseas for one green card issued. Win win.

Yes, by all means, lets import more bride-burning Hindus and girl-aborting Chinese folks into the country.
Traitors! Will Trump ignore and join them, or reject this move to undermine American workers?
Then we build the waste site at Yucca Mountain. Store nuclear waste from other countries for that same price.
