• MEDIA: U.S. Makes It Easier to Use the H-1B Program and to Displace U.S

    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Fri Sep 3 12:06:33 2021
    Morris Dees and $PLC certified deplorable, David North, on whether
    Donald Trump's Save America PAC will endorse Lee Cissna and Ken
    Cuccinelli: <URL:https://cis.org/North/US-Makes-It-Easier-Use-H1B-Program-and-Displace-US-Workers>
    | A tally of the winners and losers in this situation shows:
    |
    | The only winners:
    |
    | U.S.-worker-avoiding (H-1B) employers, who save $143 million a
    | year.
    |
    | The losers:
    |
    | U.S. workers with H-1B skills, jobs in the hundreds of thousands
    | U. S. white-collar workers, 1,900-person years; who would
    | otherwise fill out applications; and
    | The hard-pressed USCIS, which also loses a part-year, interest-
    | free loan of nearly $300 million.
    |
    | The Estimates Explained. I figure that the 2019-2021 decline in
    | applications filed was about 143,000, and that the preparation cost
    | of a typical application, often completed by lawyers, was about
    | $1,000 each, thus a savings to the employers of $143 million. If
    | people working on the applications were paid $75,000 a year (another
    | guestimate of mine), that would come to about 1,900 full-time jobs.

    How much does it cost to implement Trump extreme vetting of the Cheap
    Labor Lobby's scab workers?

    "That Republicans are taking the opportunity to attack Biden for
    Afghanistan is predictable. But you have to ask, is the post-Trump
    GOP position that we must return to the graveyard of empires?
    Reverting to defending the globalist American empire is a losing
