Prior FR Thread: How to not hire an American
Money Quote:
"Our goal is clearly NOT to find a qualified U.S. worker... our objective is to get this person a green card ... so certainly we are not going to try to find a place where applicants would be most numerous."
-Lawrence M. Lebowitz - VIce President of Marketing, Cohen & Grigsby
FYI.
I'm sure some enterprising lawyer can manage to find RICO case.
That’s why our corporations are always bribing congress to increase the number of H1-B visas,so they can avoid paying Americans the going Market wage.
These Corporations are going to kill the middle class because of greed.If they wreck the American Middle class who do they think will buy their products.
Job Fairs. What a laugh. They only serve to make an employer look good.
Nothing like a lawyer....
Wow. This is bullshiite. Good find Calcowgirl.
Sam, please forward this on to your father. I think he will be very interested in this.
Wow - that video is wicked. I would like to see the HR people in it lose their jobs to an immigrant. How many applications do they get of people out of jobs? This is just wrong.
As a veteran of Silly Valley, I can attest that what you see here is 100% true: job descriptions that are made to meet the legal requirements that “no H1B visa or green card holder takes a job from an American” are carefully crafted to make sure that no one will be able to meet the requirements of the H1B visa holder that has retained the lawyers in pursuit of a green card.
The other dirty little secret out there is this: H1B visa employees are the closest thing to indentured servants since the end of the Civil War. When you’re working under a H1B visa, you have to pretty much take whatever crap your “sponsoring company” is handing out until such time as you get your green card, which requires forking over quite a tidy sum to a law firm like Cohen & Grigsby. H1B visa holders, if fired, by law have to return to their home country before applying for another H1B (or other) visa to enter the US.
This ends up working as a lengthy probation period. If the H1B holder doesn’t work out for the hiring company, they just choose to not continue his employment at the end of his visa; legally, he is now up a creek. If the employer deems him worthy of retention, the employer might hire the lawyers to get the green card process moving right along. At the point that the employee gains his green card, then his pay often goes up, or generous stock options are granted to implement a golden handcuff to keep the guy in place.
my ex went to work for cohen and grigsby in pitt. I went to one of their events - they were mostly a bunch of a-holes.
Now maybe some of the Left leaning Democrat supporting computer programmers in LALA land will see the light and fight the immigration give away going on in Congress.

Saw you both on this thread:

and thought you might be interested.
If you are interested in the illegal immigration and AMNESTY Bill issue, watch the video. You'll be pi##ed.
THIS is why laissez-faire, libertarian, free-market capitalism does not and cannot work over the long term. The corporate entity will do anything — anything — to gain an advantage of its competitors. Borders, culture, civilization itself — all are grist for the corporate mill. Unregulated, the capitalist knows no loyalty except to the bottom line.
PING!
Lawrence m. Lebowiz is a CRAPitalist. His grandfather must be very proud of him.
And to think President Bush swallows the "jobs Americans won't do" crap, hook, line and sinker.
