@mikeroweworks $30 million net? @SenTedCruz @SenHawleyPress The H1B visa holders get jobs/houses/not registering for Selective Service. Anyone working a blue collar job knows age 50 is the physical end. But TECH is limitless. SS retirement age 67. @WhiteHouse #jobseekers lose.

@SenTedCruz isn't it time to end OPT and H1B visas? "Dallas-Fort Worth added no net engineering jobs for a DECADE. There were 40,000 engineering jobs in 2012...OPT guest workers in those same jobs doubled." OPT= NO SS taxes. @SpeakerJohnson

6/10
The powers that be want us to think "these are PhDs filling gaps nobody else can fill. . . "

WRONG! Only 11% of OPT engineers in Dallas held or were pursuing a U.S. PhD.

The other 89% (3,487 workers) were bachelor's and master's grads. Same credentials as American applicants.

@PghCollegeDems @CR_Pitt This is what they think of you. Not limited to STEM. Congress not ending H1Bs. No #jobs for you. H1Bs don't register for the Selective Service. They buy homes. @PittTweet @SenMcCormickPA @SenFettermanPA @USTechWorkers @RepSummerLee https://t.co/oloz2sEtzl

@WhiteHouse why vote?

[U.S. Tech Workers @USTechWorkers]

Microsoft laying off U.S. workers while still requesting more H-1B visas is nothing new.

In 2014, while laying off thousands of employees, Microsoft was simultaneously lobbying Congress to expand the H-1B program. Senator @jeffsessions publicly criticized the company for asking for more foreign workers while eliminating American jobs.

When Congress refused to act, the Obama administration expanded work authorization for international students through the STEM OPT program in 2016, effectively creating a backdoor around the H-1B cap, a policy Microsoft had strongly lobbied for.

Microsoft will continue to sponsor visas because nothing in the law prevents the company from doing so. Meanwhile, Congress remains deadlocked on the issue, leaving the existing system in place. The Trump administration has the authority to end STEM OPT if it chooses. So far, however, the admin’s enforcement strategy has focused largely on Indian IT outsourcing firms while leaving the broader system that supplies labor to the largest technology companies intact. Not surprising considering the CEOs of some of the largest tech companies remain very close to the White House staff.

If the administration is serious about reforming employment-based immigration, ending STEM OPT would be one of the clearest places to start. It has the legal authority to do so.

[E.M. McCarthy @carthy35594]

@PattyMurray @SenatorCantwell @ydwa @washdems H-1B, OPT (OPT pays no SS taxes so cheap to employ) visas replace every white collar job not just TECH. @USTechWorkers show us the money. Shame on what Congress is doing to young US people. End H-1B and OPT visas now. @KingCountyYDs

[Cathlina King 🇺🇸 @AmeraucanaLover]

🚨BREAKING: Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has announced the firing of 3,200 American employees.

Sharma, who was appointed by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, has also filed for thousands of H-1B visa hires this year.

@SenFettermanPA @SenMcCormickPA @SenToddYoung @SenatorBanks @IndianaCR @CollegeDemsIN Happy 4th of July for China's and India's kids on H1Bs and OPTs getting jobs. Why does Congress keep visa laws hurting US kids?@IndianaUniv? @PittTweet? @SpeakerJohnson end H-1B and OPT visas.

[Andrew Ireland @AndrewIrelandIN]

🚨 Wow. Taxpayer-funded Indiana University just disclosed it is filling ANOTHER entry-level software engineer job with a foreigner on a H-1B visa.

Apparently ZERO Americans were qualified even though the same school has thousands of computer science graduates.

The H-1B scam needs to end

[E.M. McCarthy @carthy35594]

My dad and uncles fought for the USA during WW2. Now my kids have to compete against more favored kids from other nations. Not feeling sorry when #H1B participants get sent home.End visa programs now. #OPT @SenMcCormickPA @SenFettermanPA @USTechWorkers @SpeakerJohnson @WhiteHouse

[Alastair MacGregor @AlastairMac1964]

That’s a six month internship, a new car, and a puppy that should have gone to an American. All wasted now.

Why don't the teacher unions defend American teachers when H1B visa holders want to take teaching jobs? #Teachers pay union dues for job protection. @NeilMunroDC @BeckyPringle

[U.S. Tech Workers @USTechWorkers]

Senator Murkowski says Alaska needs H-1B visas to fill teacher roles. But the real question is: why can't Alaska keep the teachers it already has?

Answer: Alaska holds the national record for teacher turnover — roughly triple the national average. Teacher salaries grew just 9% from 1994–2004 while the national average rose 31%. This isn't a pipeline problem. It's a pay and retention problem.

Apparently, foreigners are better at teaching English.

That must be why @NotreDame is looking to hire a non-American for an English professor role.

@All2getherNow Hey @nvidia, why post jobs in newspapers almost no American will see? Plenty of qualified U.S. candidates want these roles.
@DHSgov @USCIS @SecMullinDHS — This is clear PERM abuse to sponsor foreign green cards when Americans are available.

Gospel of the Day (Matthew 26,14-75.27,1-66)

Jesus cried out again in a loud voice, and gave up his spirit. And behold, the veil of the sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, rocks were split, tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.
