The Republican-controlled Senate just passed a bill that would give Indians over 90% of employment-based professional visas over the next 10 years. You know who's really pleased with this bill: Big Tech.
GOP screws over its voters and rewards its enemies
"the changes were necessary to protect American workers, whom the administration believes are being undercut by foreign workers on H-1B visas who are paid lower wages to perform similar jobs."

“Last month Trump fired two Tennessee Valley Authority board members after the federally owned energy corporation replaced employees with foreign workers — the latest example of big corporations using H-1B visas for cheaper labor.” #NoS386 Stop #H1B abuse
✈️💼 DEEP DIVE: The foreign worker slump —
Coronavirus has slammed the door on highly skilled foreign workers — aiding Trump's push to limit American-based companies' hiring of foreigners, @StefWKight writes.
The restrictions may outlast the pandemic. https://t.co/v86nRB75Id
Congress is trying to re-write our immigration laws without even a single vote in the U.S. Senate. As written, it would hurt American workers and FL businesses and threaten the diversity we cherish.

Trump's people get Sen. Rick Scott to surprise block #SenMikeLee's #S386, which lets Wall St. legally replace US graduates w/ endless blocs of cheap foreign grads.
Yet journos in estb. media are silent.
IOW, powerless to protect their kids' futures.

#Intel Corp. is a huge user of #H1B & #OPT visa workers.
It is also stumbling in several technologies & lost 18% of its stock value last week.
Here's initial evidence that corporate reliance on visa workers is a bad strategy for stocks & the USA.

Sen. Dick Durbin is trying to pass his amnesty and visa-worker giveaway bills today via the Unanimous Consent process.
The GOP will likely stop these bills, which would dramatically increase the incentives for foreign grads to take US white-collar jobs.

Analysis of the new state-level employment data shows that, in most of the top immigrant-receiving states, unemployment is higher for the foreign-born than for the native-born.

Biz groups are lobbying Trump against curbs on visa-worker programs, ie the H-1B.
One claim is that H-1B workers do not displace Americans or cut salaries.
IOW, supply & demand does not impact workers & wages.
US workers disagree.

In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!
Tucker Blasting DHS Plan to Bring in Foreign Workers During Coronavirus Crisis
"In a year where tens of millions of Americans could be looking for work our government is importing more than a 150k workers from abroad."
"The President needs to stop this from happening & he can."
This is outrageous! Who is behind this madness? @realDonaldTrump‘s DHS Starts to Import 85,000 H-1B Graduate Gig Workers https://t.co/zxgkh88BxS #MAGA#AmericaFirst
We spoke to former AT&T employees about having to train their foreign replacements. Internal documents show workers were warned not to discuss certain topics with Indian workers. Watch. https://t.co/eunkC1uYDz
