Before an employer can file a petition with USCIS, the employer must take steps to ensure that hiring the foreign worker will not harm U.S. workers.”
The UGLY TRUTH of it all is that the existing laws to protect USA citizens in the workforce are being ignored across the board. We have 1.6 million H1-b Visa recipients right now, and Trump has promised to increase the number of recipients to satisfy Silicon Valley tech billionaires. If he does this, it will be his 2nd time he has kissed their bloody posterior!!!!
1.6 million USA citizens have been displaced from the workforce because of the H1-b Visa policy. And that number is going up thanks to Trump promising the tech billionaires to do so.
IT VIOLATES FEDERAL LAW! But everyone involved including Trump has ignored the law.
I fully support the end of the H1-b Visa Program. I know hundreds of people that had to seek alternate careers because they were displaced by the H1-b Visa Program for low cost foreign workers.
AND WORSE IS THE USE OF EVEN LOWER COST LABOR BY TECH FOLKS STILL IN CHINA, INDIA, AND UKRAINE. These are the primary nation's people that benefit. But my problem is that many federally funded projects are shipping US taxpayer dollars overseas to fund the work of these people. It is wrong.
And after being on half a dozen projects operating with a large contingent of foreign labor working in their country, I am not a believer that there is a benefit. Just the language barriers alone are significant! Differences in culture also enter into the equation to slow the progress of projects.
It is not a mystery why real incomes have not increase over the last 30 years. We have basically bent over the American worker, and have stuck it to them every day over the past 30 years. The exception was the 4 years Trump was president. People actually saw some increase in their incomes. That will be harder with this 2nd Trump term because the Biden Idiocracy have cost the American worker dearly. Their purchasing power has been cut in half.
I a so sick and tired of hearing inflation has been 20%. An absolute lie. Most what we buy at the grocery store has double or tripled. I could give many examples. Olive oil. Used to pay $6 a bottle. now that reduced size bottle is $18. Even regular vegetable oil, used to be $3.29 a bottle, now it is $12 a bottle. Ground beef, used to be $3.99 a pound, is now $8.99 a pound in Georgia.
And interest rates, toward the end of Trump's 1st term got as low as 1.8% for a mortgage, and is now 6.6 - 7.0% for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage. WHAT PERCENT IS THAT FOLKS? AND IT BEING THE PRIMARY COST FOR MOST HOUSEHOLDS!!!
New cars have doubled in price! The car I bought a few years ago when Trump was POTUS is now twice as expensive. I just bought a 3 year old Lexus for 45% of its current new price. I could never afford the $100,000 for the new version of the same vehicle.
And in California where they are attempting to eliminate the combustion engine, going to EVs exclusively, what happens when there are almost no used EVs to acquire in CA in the secondary market[used cars]? Most EVs are leased, and when they are finished, they are shipped to another country and sold like a new car. The secondary market will not have any cars. WE WILL BEGIN LOOKING LIKE CUBA IN CALIFORNIA, WITH PEOPLE DRIVING 20, 30, 40 YEAR OLD CARS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT AFFORD THE EVs!!! UGGGH! THE IDIOCY OF CALIFORNIA, AND THEIR INFLUENCE OVER MUCH OF THE NATION WILL CAUSE REAL HARM TO FOLKS IN THE USA.
