This is such a fucking layup.
Estimated annual payroll comparison for roughly 900,000 H-1B/OPT workers:
Current: 900k × $115k = $103.5B
If paid at an average American salary: 900k × $130k = $117.0B
Difference: +$13.5B per year.
This is pocket change for corporate America.
The H1B cheap foreign labor is going to continue to be a persistent source of tension for a long time to come. Neither Democrats nor Republicans represent ordinary workers. Both parties prefer donors and corporations. There's a huge source of power, up for grabs. Crown in gutter
@SouthernMB82 They don’t pay squat for the research positions so they have trouble filling the spots. You have to pay for stadium upgrades and coaching salaries first.
It is important to remember that yes, Iran struck our military bases and killed and injured many soldiers but who is giving them the satellite imagery to do so? China and Russia.
If someone made a movie set in Africa and based on ancient African folklore, and then populated the cast with white people and other random races and ethnicities that have nothing to do with Africa, everyone would say that the casting is ridiculous and distracting at best (and I would agree). Yet the same thing is done in the reverse to a foundational text of western civilization and even conservatives line up to defend it. It’s pathetic, honestly.
We need to weed out the Donor’s First GOP scrubs who have more loyalty to foreign countries and illegal aliens than working families.
America First is no wars, no amnesty, no handouts, no H1B/OPT and no data centers near national treasures!
@RepDonBacon@James32980438 And you’re pushing American workers to the left by crushing their wages. My guess is the farm worker pool is a lot larger than the farmer pool.
@RepDonBacon@NateAFischer It’s your job to protect American workers, not cater to special interest. Are you going take liability when the illegal farm worker gets drunk and kills a citizen?
@fuller_brandon Thank you for pointing this out. How much is tuition inflated from these bogus degrees? Combine that with a never ending supply of foreign students and we see why college has become a luxury item.
A 17-year-old girl in India was gang-r@ped and denied justice by the police. She declared she was going to drown herself. She swam for a long time, onlookers just recorded with their phones.
They are not like us.
Trump doesn't have a win in Iran. He has two options:
1. Pull troops immediately and look like a pussy.
2. Escalate tensions and cause a global recession.
He can no longer kick the can down the road because we are down to a 43-day supply of oil.
