H-1B for the chopping block?

[The Conservative]

I hope so.

Bruce Morrison: The H-1B has been hijacked, as the main highway to bring people from abroad and displace Americans.

[Speaker to Animals]

The program, created more than 25 years ago, allows American companies to fill gaps in the workforce from overseas with highly skilled employees, who can't be found in the U.S. Many businesses use the program as intended, but we discovered more and more are taking advantage of loopholes in the law to fire American workers and replace them with younger, cheaper, temporary foreign workers with H-1B visas. But before the American workers walk out the door they often face the humiliating prospect of having to train the people taking their jobs.

This is incorrect. What these companies do is actually illegal. It's a felony, not a loophole.

In order to obtain the H1B visas, these businesses have to claim they cannot find Americans to do this work. But they already had Americans doing the work, and they just wanted to fire and replace those workers by lying to the federal government. It's a felony to make a false statement like that.

The corporations should be fined in a way that ensures nobody will want to do that again, the foreign workers sent home, and the people who actually participated in the conspiracy to lie to the government in order to commit immigration fraud should go to prison.

We need to simply enforce immigration law in this country. This shit is off the fucking hook.

Not in this timeline. Would be nice though.

So is Affirmative Action, and Quotas, what's your point?

While I have my issues with those too, at least they're hiring US resident citizens, its a whole different thing to be importing foreign workers to replace hiring actual US workers. Consider that the vast majority of imported H1B workers are male - you would think feminists would be outraged at companies bringing in large quantities of men to fill jobs that with affirmative action they might get.
