Billionaires Demand Fast-Track Green Cards for 400,000 Visa Workers
Breitbart ^ | 12/7/2018 | Neil Munro

Posted on 12/08/2018 8:17:02 PM PST by RightGeek

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.

Why do they hate American citizens so much?

Because they want everyone except themselves to be slaves.

And actual Americans are independent individuals who refuse to be enslaved.

It’s good if they do. Go get some foreign contracts in those countries and bring the profits home. Don’t bring the people here and send the money away.


Eh not necessarily. Note Bangalore, India, is called the Silicon Valley of India— Many corporations have major presence there now...not sure how much of the money is coming back here...

This may or may not be a good thing for the economy, but this is the same route that Germany took some decades ago to bring in young male Muslim Turks to alleviate a shortage of workers due to declining birth rates and the losses of a generation of German men due to WWII.

The idea was that these workers would surely want to go back home after a time of good wages in the German economy, doing the jobs that the Germans couldn’t do or wouldn’t do.

However, the guest workers tended to congregate in cultural enclaves of Muslims and surprise, surprise, decided to stay, opening the way for the deluge of Muslims immigrants who have begun to take over Europe.

We will see the same kind of demographic shift in our population which will have great cultural change in its wake. Right now, approximately 16% of native born Salvadorans are in our country and represent the third largest Hispanic minority in the country. Perhaps this is a good thing, but the immigration needs of billionaires should be examined with an eye to the ultimate benefit to our country as a whole and the transformation of the American cultural heritage.

Why, when they can recruit whom they
need from the millions that are already
here? Didn’t these countries send us
those that are looking for nothing more
than a better life? Sorry, I forgot
hiring illegals is against the law.

“it makes no sense.”

It makes perfect sense when you realize the real reason is to import Rat voters. More Rat voters will make it easier and faster to make America socialist, and they won’t have to cheat so hard to “win” at the polls.

This guy and his cohorts (Google, Amazon, etc.) Will be in the Elite class under socialist rule.

We could also kick a half million people off welfare and accomplish the same thing. Our elite place no value on Americans whatsoever.

Get there early for a better selection.

Which US city would be improved by adding to the traffic load. How will we tackle “global warming” by bringing half the worlds population to first world level resource utilization, especially from cultures with no built in from birth sense of conservation?

President Donald Trump isn’t the only one who thinks the economy is doing well. Marc Benioff does, too. Benioff’s company, Salesforce, has posted faster stock growth than Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq, alongside other cloud-oriented companies like Adobe, Amazon and Microsoft. The Salesforce performance comes after beating analysts’ expectations for every one of the past four quarters. Indeed, Benioff connects the company’s results with the economy in general.
