America’s youth are told that STEM skills hold the key to a better future. But a mix of misguided policy and weak oversight is undermining that promise, says @Rosenthalrc https://t.co/ZTO2iZcLIi via @bopinion
Great article by @RosenthalRC explaining how big tech undermines the success of black and Hispanic American tech workers by choosing to give jobs & internships to cheaper foreign labor.

The largest occupation group of the Black middle class are IT workers, but rarely noticed:
Biden couldn't have won in 2020 without Black voters and Big Tech money. But what happens when those two constituencies are at odds? asks @RosenthalRC https://t.co/vx8oV5P2Xm via @opinion
There is no "labor shortage." There is a shortage of good jobs, good pay, good job conditions. When workers refuse bad jobs, bad pay and poor job conditions, employers whine "labor shortage." Don't be fooled.
Kellogg's turn toward using scabs to break strike. This will test whether a resurgent labor movement will win or be repressed. Will labor's allies help? Deep stresses are rising to challenge and change US capitalism. https://t.co/QWe6YjmALB
A qualified doctor is denied the green card, but a lot of the Indian with less qualification are getting it. This is crqzy

How ‘bout we get #AmericanWorkers into good-paying jobs and on their feet!
Why take taxpayer $$ to pay huge jackpots to border crossers?

My latest article: pro-immigration research papers published by the Cato Institute are not independent, but designed to meet the needs of lobbying clients, according to allegations in a Telegram message obtained by @ChroniclesMag. https://t.co/nPsD50RADV
It turns out offshoring supply chains and not being able to produce things in America that Americans need was a monumentally stupid idea
Naturally it had the support of both parties and most think tanks
Shame on @JoeBiden for following @wto suggestion that US pharmaceutical cos waive intellectual property protections to turn over COVID vaccine IP to foreign nations.
More #AmericanWorkers training foreign replacements.
EU smartly disagrees w/ waiver

The corporate "haves", and the worker "have nots".

Multinational Corporations Kept Outsourcing US Jobs in Pandemic
US corps that get PPP, tax breaks & favorable treatment by US government continue to displace #AmericanWorkers... on backs of US taxpayers
The only “multinational” part is foreign workers https://t.co/fs7StzosXS
Here’s hoping third time’s a charm for #AmericanWorkers group to get court declaration that @DHSgov unconstitutionally handed out #H4EAD work permits to #H1B spouses. TY John Miano & Chris Hajec of @IRLILaw

The H-1B program has morphed into a corporate scam to offshore U.S. tech jobs and underpay migrant workers, and previous presidential administrations and Congress have failed to fix it, write @RonHira and @costadaniel. Learn more: https://t.co/YhfLLwoVJi
A big loss for #AmericanWorkers
Of course, it’s not as though they ever stopped the flow of cheap foreign labor. #H1B#H4EAD#L1#OPT#J1 are used to DISPLACE workers of all backgrounds
Congress must learn this isn’t a Ponzi scheme. America suffers when corps screw citizens.
NEW: President Biden is expected to let lapse a pandemic-related ban on H-1Bs and other guest-worker visas imposed by former President Trump, a big win for tech cos. The moratorium is due to expire tomorrow.
Story w/ @Genna_Douglas on @TheTerminal
"Pressured by employees & the press, companies began disclosing demographics. One figure stood out: African Americans, ~ 13% of the US population, made up no more than 1% of tech hires at Google, Facebook & other prominent Silicon Valley companies."

Be VERY concerned about what is happening to #AmericanWorkers at every level
Congress appears to have delegated to businesses the power to write their own employment policies
Corps are #ProxyGovernment
Corps also knee-cap #STEM grads, replacing with foreign labor #OPT#H1B etc
14.3 million out-of-work in U.S. want a job right now. 50 million 18-64 not in the labor force. @RepJerryNadler brazenly claims a "worker shortage crisis" to excuse his vote for amnesty. This is 100% false.
There is #NoLaborShortage.

Cabinet officials are supposed to be “public servants,” but it seems they’ll be serving special interests & big tech
Do you think they’ll be standing up for #AmericanWorkers ? More likely pushing propaganda to bring more cheap foreign labor
