Big Tech, Koch Network Cheer Biden’s Amnesty to Flood U.S. Labor Market [including work visas]

Big tech’s lobbying arm and the Koch brothers’ network of donor class organizations are cheering on President Joe Biden’s amnesty plan that would pack the United States labor market with more foreign visa workers for business to hire over American graduates and professionals.

This week, Biden’s amnesty plan was introduced in Congress by Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) as Democrats look to increase foreign competition in the U.S. workforce while more than 17 million Americans are jobless.

Among other things, the plan would:

Put nearly all illegal aliens in the U.S. on an eight-year path to citizenship

Provide $4 billion in foreign aid to Central America

Expand the U.S. labor market with more foreign visa workers

Expedite green cards for foreign relatives, otherwise known as “chain migration”

Potentially add 52 million foreign-born residents to the U.S. population

Eliminate per-country caps, ensuring India monopolizes employment green cards

Increase the Diversity Visa Lottery program where visas are given out randomly

Provide green cards to foreign students who graduate in advanced STEM fields

Bring already deported illegal aliens back to the U.S. to provide them amnesty

For Amazon, millions of newly legalized illegal aliens, foreign visa workers, and chain migrants who would be added to the U.S. labor market as a result of the plan are a boon to multinational corporations’ profits. [...]

Specifically, aside from providing Amazon with more foreign visa workers to hire, the plan includes a green card giveaway that would create a green card system where only H-1B foreign visa workers are able to obtain employment-based visas by creating a backlog of seven to eight years for all foreign nationals.

The process would reward outsourcing firms and tech corporations for the decades of outsourcing American jobs to H-1B foreign visa workers. [...]

Cheap wetback labor destroys Americans’ lives.

yay.

[KC_Lion]

Gotta bring in more cheap labor if the minimum wage is going up to $15.

[Terry L Smith]

Lobbyists ... unelected bag men for those who wish to crap on the American citizens’ personal rights.

I put HOA’s, PAC’s, and any “mothers against the owning and usage of whatchamacallits”, in the same ‘tidy bowl’.

[jroehl]

Say goodbye to all American tech jobs. This is the end of white collar jobs in America. The Indians have all but monopolized technology job recruitment now. So your resume is useless now.

[Huskrrrr]

So long middle class.

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

I trust black workers are happy with the competition for jobs.

Whenever I’m tempted to be angry about this sort of thing I just remind myself that I live in a country where school boards are starting to adopt policies based on the bizarre notion that expecting students to get the correct answers in math class is a form of “white supremacy.”

I’m probably not the only one with a background in corporate management who found that over time, more and more EDUCATED Americans are ‘effing unemployable.

Bush League Republicans cheer.

This is what they have spent their careers trying to achieve, turning the USA into North Mexico.

school boards are starting to adopt policies based on the bizarre notion that expecting students to get the correct answers in math class is a form of “white supremacy.”

So we may have a pipeline problem - but currently there is no shortage of competent STEM-trained Americans.

So, Let me see, I thought the Demoncrats were all about the $15.00 an hour “minimum wage” when it seems thewy are flooding the market with $4.50 per hour “slave wages?”
I know this is way sarcastic, but isn’t it true?

Millions of Americans are out of work. They’ve been “reset”. To zero.

[central_va]

As a general rule, threads on how the America labor force is being screwed over gains little attention. For the most part, Free Republic could give a rats a$$ about US workers and labor issues.

[LouAvul]

In all fairness, our guy, jorge busho, started us down this treasonous path.

F this BS. Americans would major in STEM IF H-1B was eliminated....

There are two kinds of Rats:

• Those who think that wishing real hard makes the labor market immune to supply and demand.
• Those in leadership who know better but are cynically using these policies to make every American dependent on government.

It might depend on the STEM field. What bothered me most about recent U.S. graduates in my field wasn’t their technical skills; it was their disgracefully poor command of the English language. I was astonished at how many American-born STEM graduates had English writing skills that were worse than what I’d see from their peers who spoke English as a second language.

I used to work for a Koch company.

Good in that they were very clear about their political and philosophical bent. MBM has many good points.

But being told “We can, and will, replace all of you with managers from South America the second we can do so legally” is a heck of a buzz kill.

Oh, and you were “required” to donate to the Koch PAC if you wanted to advance. Kind of like United Way donations on some companies.

[Alberta's Child]

Or not. In my field I’ve seen no evidence to support that.
