H-1B visa controversy illustrates the Judas Class racket: Globalist elites grifting Americans and the world in an attempt to create a slave caste
Where Is Trump When Working Americans Need Him?
Divisions are already appearing in MAGA ranks. President-elect Trump and Elon Musk have aligned with the H-1B work visas that allow foreigners to be brought in to fill American jobs. This disappoints the Trump working class that believed making America great again meant they were going to get their jobs back.
American corporations, universities, and non-profit organizations like H-1B work visas for a variety of reasons. A H-1B visa recipient is an indentured servant. He or she is paid substantially less but cannot leave the employer for higher pay as the visa is tied to the specific employer. This also has the result of denying the indentured servant employment or protest rights as the indentured servant’s presence in the US is tied to the visa that is tied to the employer. For example, a H-1B visa holder cannot file a discrimination complaint.
As Senator Bernie Sanders puts it:
“The main function of the H-1B visa program is not to hire ‘the best and the brightest,’ but rather to replace good-paying American jobs with low-wage indentured servants from abroad. The cheaper the labor they hire, the more money the billionaires make.” https://www.rt.com/news/610400-bernie-sanders-elon-musk-visas/
The case for H-1B visas is fraudulent. The claim is that America’s huge numbers of universities are incapable of producing enough American graduates to meet America’s need for “highly educated individuals with skills critical to our country’s economic future,” to use the words of Todd Schulte, president of an immigrant advocacy organization with ties to big tech. Or as Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas disguised the scam, “American businesses rely on the H-1B visa program for the recruitment of highly-skilled talent, benefitting communities across the country.”
Imagine, the United States relies on the Third World, not on its many world prestigious universities, to supply its need for “highly-skilled talent.” The communities are not benefitting. The American residents are losing the jobs. Wages and salaries are being paid to foreigners who have displaced Americans. The difference between the US wage and the H-1B wage goes to corporate profits and executive “performance bonuses.”
I pointed all of this out years ago and summarized it 12 years ago in my book, The Failure of Laissez Faire Capitalism and Economic Disintegration of the West,(Clarity Press, https://www.claritypress.com/product/the-failure-of-laissez-faire-capitalism/ ).
It is a fairy tale told by shills to enhance corporate profits and executive bonuses that Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, University of Pennsylvania, MIT, Cal Tech, Georgia Tech, University of California, University of Chicago, and the large numbers of private and state universities cannot turn out enough educated people to fill the economy’s needs.
If Americans are not studying for careers in high tech it is because they know the jobs will be given to foreigners on visas. Moreover, Americans who prepare for these careers are hit again by the offshoring of many of the jobs.
During the early years of the 21st century when the “skills shortage” was being concocted to serve corporate profits, Business Week reported a 12.7% decline in computer science pay, a 12%decline in computer engineering pay, a 10.2% decline in electrical engineering pay. Professor Norm Matloff at the University of California, Davis, found that between 2001 and 2005 starting pay for master degrees in computer science, computer engineering and electrical engineering fell 6.6%, 13.7%, and 9.4% respectively.
As I wrote at the time, “Obviously, if these skills were in short supply, as corporations [and their economist shills] allege, the shortage would result in rising salaries as employers bid for scarce human resources.” How can economics account for a shortage of skills and a fall in pay?
H-1B visas have a statutory cap of 85,000 annually. The number consists of 65,000 visas plus 20,000 for foreigners who have an advanced degree from a US university. Over ten years, that comes to 850,000 foreigners brought into the US to take Americans’ jobs. These visas are sought by foreign students studying in America, because it is a way of staying in the country. At the end of the visa, H-1B holders can apply for a green card or permanent residence.
As few of the 85,000 per year return home to their countries, the obvious consequence is that some American occupations are being de-Americanized. This is also true of university faculties where H-1B visas are used to meet DEI quotas while large numbers of Americans with Ph.D. degrees are denied an academic career“`. Recently the Biden regime expanded or removed the limit on H-1B visas for universities and non-profits. Soon a student will be able to have the same professors at Harvard as he would have if he went to university in India. What does Harvard care? It trades on its name…MORE…
