Congress needs to make it more difficult and costly for companies to ship their operations off shore, and import foreign workers to replace American citizens. Congress should have more interests for the people in the United States who are citizens of this country, who are looking for jobs and are competing with people who have been brought into the country, and less interest in ensuring that the unemployed in the rest of the world have a job.
American citizens need to take action. One of the most deceptive and fraudulent betrayal of American citizens comes from the H-1B visa program. High tech companies are importing foreign workers to replace American citizens in the workplace. By the end of this year, one million H-1B visa holders will have been admitted, primarily to work in the computer industry. The fact is that these temporary foreign workers were never needed. The computer industry has a deceptive plan that they have been executing successfully for several years now. They have driven down the salaries of American computer workers by creating a glut of high tech workers, and trained millions of foreigners on our technology in the process. Employers have not stopped importing H-1B workers, even though the recession caused high tech companies to announce 520,000 job-cuts last year. High tech companies announced 520,000 layoffs, but at the same time, they imported over 380,000 new H-1B workers. The industry only created 80,000 new jobs. It gets more interesting. Employers don't want the H-1B workers that have already been working here and have since been laid-off. They want fresh new H-1B workers. You might ask where this will eventually lead. Here is where this is all going. Companies hire millions of cheaper foreign computer programmers to replace American citizens and have them to work with our technology hands-on. Then companies keep importing more foreigners in order to force the laid-off workers back to their home countries. Eventually, corporations will have a glut of foreign workers back on their own soil who have been trained hands-on with our technology. Once back in their own country, the wages are even cheaper than when the same people were working here in the United States. The companies open up shop in the foreign country, and end up with labor that was cheaper than when they were exploited here under the H-1B program. It should be noted that 50 percent of H-1B workers come from India. India is very poor, and suffers from high unemployment and depressed wages. Once again, American companies who could care less about the United States of America betray American citizens. They aren't doing any real favors for H-1B workers either. You can read more about the H-1B program, and how you can help stop the H-1B fiasco by going to http://www.HireAmericanCitizens.org Please write Congress about this issue. Powerful forces (deep pockets) have bribed Congress to keep the H-1B program, so you must write them over and over again. -- Fight The H-1B Fiasco!
