Mostly excellent. I don't believe Bannon's $102K figure; this source shows the top 3 H1B sponsors, all Indian consulting firms, paying an average of $73K: https://stoph1bvisafraud.org/2015/05/30/2015-h1b-visa-rank-and-the-average-salary-battle/

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.

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.

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.

This article doesn't even begin to tell how bad it really is. Young people graduating with STEM degrees more often than not are forced into some job not in their field.

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.

It’s a race to the bottom, I tell ya. And we are winning!
