Two Bay Area congresswomen introduced a bill Friday that would protect thousands of Silicon Valley immigrants from a Trump administration move to strip their right to work.

The bill, written by Reps. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, and Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, would prevent the administration from revoking an Obama-era rule giving work authorization to certain spouses of H-1B visa holders.

Where’s the Bill to protect, fund, help, assist American citizens by Democrats?

Oh, yeah, crickets chirping can be heard.

Pro-American President Trump? Oh, they gotta get rid of him.

Hmm, doing the JOBS that Americans wont do?
Or massively displacing hundreds of thousands of American workers with those from other countries for 40-60% less?

Disney Corp comes quickly to mind...

Oh corporate America!
Outsourcing manufacturing & jobs while also importing foreigners by the boatloads to displace the "expensive" american workers!

“It’s an especially big worry for immigrant families who couldn’t afford to live in the Bay Area on only a single income. Most of the spouses who benefit from the rule are women, and many are themselves high-skilled tech workers.”

Competing against our children for jobs and housing

Won’t be necessary, as it will never make it through the Senate. But on the odd chance that it did, yes the veto pen is there as a fall back. 8>)

H-1B visas were for jobs looking for workers, not workers looking for jobs.

When the work is over, the worker goes home.

“These are American citizens-in-waiting, stuck in line for their number to come up,” Lofgren said in a statement

These workers are never going home

The saddest video I ever saw in my life was a secret recording by a very prominent law firm who hosted a seminar to the large companies (IBM, Compaq, HP, Microsoft etc) back in the late 1990's

In that secret video the speakers were teaching these companies how NOT to hire Americans!

Among the strategies they shared was to make the job description to be so long & convoluted that no one can fill it (as it would be about 600 words long), so they can now run the the State Dept and complain how American workers are not up to par to fill the jobs and thus they need to search outside the USA to get bodies to fill the positions.

oops.

I meant to say: The saddest video I ever saw in my life was a secret recording OF a very prominent law firm.

The law firm was the one hosting it, not the ones recording it.
