American workers need to be protected from “the ravages of global wage competition,” former Breitbart News Executive Chairman and White House Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon says in a new interview with GQ magazine.
While railing against the mass importation of foreign workers to supply Silicon Valley, California’s tech industry hub and its corporations with cheap labor, Bannon said that, specifically, the H-1B visa is contributing to pushing working-class Americans out of the tech industry. [...]

OT: Bannon Hits Silicon Valley’s Mass Immigration: ‘We’ve Got to Start Protecting Citizens from Global Wage Competition’
Nice to hear from Steve Bannon.
It was my understanding that H1-B visa’s were to be used for Jobs that they were Unable to find American Citizens to do?? But it states 500,000 graduates are ready every year??
If I didn’t know any better, I would say this is CRIMINAL FRAUD and warrants Federal Prosecution with Lengthy Prison Sentences and Civil Asset Forfeiture.
I loved him so much, but he played a double-game.
Nah, I’m done with that blotchy-faced drunk.
No thanks.
L-1 Visas are stuck at their company, unless a new company will sponsor a new H1-B. A lot of L-1's are stuck and paid less.
Ok then let’s just end that stinker of a program. H-1B kill it!
Interesting that Steve Bannon surfaces the day after Gary Cohen quits after losing his tariff battle w/DJT. He always seems to hit the right note when discussing globalist scum.
USA jobs are for USAians, duh.
Any _government_ promoting foreigners need USA jobs is not a USA government.
Any corporation promoting foreigners need USA jobs is not a USA corporation.
All that leaking sure stopped when he left.
He has a talent for hitting wrong notes too.
HR tells American candidates "not enough experience". Yet the same HR happily hires greenhorn Indians without a squawk. Drive by buildings sporting Oracle or Microsoft logos, and you can bet your retirement that there are multiple floors whose workforce is composed entirely of Indians or Chinese.
Not in CA. It’s the illegals rights not American citizen’s rights that CA protects.

$2B! Feds Subsidize US Employers to Hire Foreign Students
February 28, 2018
Displaces 800,000 Americans who graduate from U.S. institutions…
(Kaylee McGhee, Liberty Headlines)
A federal program spent nearly $2 billion helping U.S. companies hire hundreds of thousands of foreign graduates instead of American citizens.
The Optional Practical Training Program was created under George W. Bush’s administration, and extracts funding from social security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance programs, according to the Center for Immigration Studies.
In the 2017 fiscal year, the program spent nearly $2 billion employing more than 240,000 foreign graduates, favoring them over U.S. college graduates.
The U.S. government has incentivized through the program by offering an 8.25 percent tax break for companies that hire foreign grads over U.S. citizens.
Not just tech companies. I’ve worked in corp IT departments as the only white male. Once they are in a hiring position they rarely anyone but Indians or Asians. Other note: Many of my former coworkers had fake degrees from India and their resumes were complete frauds.
For sure, anyone in the public eye trips over their feet to some extent, however, in the looming battle with the new, leftist confederacy, we need allies is this one specific area. So, all is forgiven if Steve toes the line and is willing to enter into battle on the side of American nationalists. And again, I find it curious he surfaces the day after Cohen lost his tariff fight.
Bannon is on the side of MAGA, and we can't afford to lose someone with his talent.
“Many of my former coworkers had fake degrees from India and their resumes were complete frauds.”
One of our younger adult generation relatives guys has two degrees.
He had a head on with some new HR people wanting to or having hired foreigners with fake degrees in his corporation.
The HR people retaliated and ask for copies of degrees from every engineer in his corporation. He intervened and got the copies of degrees sent to VP’s like him. That weeded out more phonies. He took his original degree back to a meeting and told the HR people that was a real degree. Then, he told about a former company he had left decades ago, which claimed secretaries were engineers as well as fake foreign engineer. The company went belly up when clients found out about the fakes.
Many companies will not hire them directly but will contract with other firms that do. Cognizant is one such firm that seems to be really popular as an abuser of the system.
Many tech companies won’t hire H1-B workers, because it’s too expensive. There are $15-20k in legal fees to get a new H1-Bs. Then that worker can immediately take that H1-B to another company. That is why some companies will do a transfer, but not sponsor a new one. Since H1-B’s can take it to another company, they aren’t usually underpaid in tech.
L-1 Visas are stuck at their company, unless a new company will sponsor a new H1-B. A lot of L-1’s are stuck and paid less.
