Here are a few more for records.

Dear anti-S386/HR1044 friends,

When they come back next year, plz remember to remind Dems of how those guest workers hate them and even the U.S. just because the Congress prioritized Americans in the end of 2020.

[Paul Donnelly @Ynotgreencards]

It is sad -- but typical how Immigration Voice and its supporters are reacting:

RT!

[ChineseAZ @ChineseAZ]

@USTechWorkers it is great we fight together against the racist immigration Bill #HR1044/#S386. #StopHR1044 #NoS386
Here is my 2020 new year wish!

[U.S. Tech Workers @USTechWorkers]

Proud to announce Big Tech's cheap labor immigration bill, HR1044/S386 "Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act", is DEAD!

[sliver & black @fei44022074]

@Sir_John_Thomas @SpeakerPelosi @senatemajldr Just give them 100%

[sliver & black @fei44022074]

The double standard as always!

[Marili Cancio Johnson @MariliCancio]

Senator @marcorubio is right. There is something seriously wrong in our country when Antifa, burning and looting are considered “peaceful protests” and flag-waiving cars and boats are a “menace.”

The IT companies were using the H-1B program to help facilitate off-shoring of US jobs to India.

If these are the so-called “best and brightest”, why are they coming in as “entry-level” workers? Why are American workers having to TRAIN their H-1B replacements?

[U.S. Tech Workers @USTechWorkers]

.@qzindia publishes an article titled “The next US president won’t be great for H-1B visas, no matter who he is”

They actually publish a quote from a lawyer who admits the current H-1B program is bringing in *lesser-paid* entry-level IT contract workers predominantly from India.

[Neil Munro @NeilMunroDC]

The moderators at the presidential debates ignore immigration -- because it is so important.
They don't want voters seeing the links b/w immigrtn & stalled wages, rising housing $, skewed regional wealth, slower tech innovation, their kids' careers, etc.

#S386 supporters - Reminder to stop your auto payments to @immivoice. They are not going to achieve anything with your money. By abusing sitting US senators, they have alienated lot of powerful people.

[Economic Policy Institute @EconomicPolicy]

How it started: How it’s going:

[U.S. Tech Workers @USTechWorkers]

From the immigration lawyer’s mouth admitting that those in the employment-based Green Card backlogs are H-1B workers brought in through Indian IT outsourcing firms working at 3rd party sites—ones that displaced American workers.

[Sara Blackwell @4US_Workers]

“I wish it had come sooner, and there were more, but I’m happy with whatever we can do to make the system better,” Blackwell said. “The goal is not stopping immigrants from coming in. The goal is to stop companies from abusing the system.”

[U.S. Tech Workers @USTechWorkers]

Pedro Gonzalez (@emeriticus) chats with @TuckerCarlson on how Latino voters back the Trump administration’s immigration policies while pointing out how Federal Agencies are trying to undermine US workers by approving EAD permits for H-1B visa workers to remain here permanently.

[Rad @BlueRedBlackW]

The racist IV has no shame in harassing individuals, communities and officials.
We need to support @SenRickScott much more and keep WH on our side!
Call @SenRickScott and support @USTechWorkers as the closest group to the WH. #NoS386 #NoS386NoHarassment

[debzi @debzi]

Time for #H1B temporary workers also to find out, they are temporary, not permanent!

Singapore’s government is incentivizing companies to hire domestic workers while curbing the flow of foreign visa workers due to the economic recession.

Meanwhile, the neoliberal faction here is trying to pressure policy makers to do the exact opposite.

In a now DELETED tweet by Leon Fresco, the architect behind the Gang of Eight bill, & now a lobbyist lobbying for the Big Tech India Green Card giveaway bill (HR1044/S386); he explicitly admits he doesn’t care about the detrimental consequences the bill will cause if passed.

[Marili Cancio Johnson @MariliCancio]

Yesterday I had a closing with a couple of professionals. He is a doctor from Somalia working at a Miami hospital and his wife who works for a huge transitional company in Miami. If SB386 passed removing country caps Florida would b < successful. Country caps protect minorities.
