US govt launches at least 175 investigations into potential H-1B abuse 'to protect American jobs'

The United States Department of Labour has said that it has launched 175 investigations into what it terms potential abuses of the US H-1B visa program.

Anyone that works with h1bs knows the rampant fraud and nepotism.

Correct. I’ve also heard of people on the visas not report illegal and bad behavior because they couldn’t risk losing their jobs.

To be a tech worker in the 70s, 80s and early 90s indeed was a gold ticket synonymous with a flexible, comfortable lifestyle. Along with that, vulnerable workers were perceived as the low skilled.

Fast forward to the present. What a different situation presents itself for U.S. tech workers as a result of the combination of unfair labor and trade practices, as well as the impact of the H-1B visa program.

Through H-1Bs, companies imported large numbers of foreign workers. They still do, at the price of transforming the job landscape so drastically that today the impossible becomes a shocking fact. Only 29 percent of tech jobs in California’s Silicon Valley go to Americans. That’s even with the high demand for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) workers.

Wage suppression and anecdotes of tech workers training the less qualified foreign replacements have now become the norm. Now it’s the highly skilled tech worker who has become vulnerable.

This is what inspires our movement to unite tech workers and pressure the federal government for visa reform.

Please join us in the fight to ensure that companies hire U.S. tech workers first.

Limit h1bs to only women 18-30 so we can get more minority women into tech and even out the ratio.

Woah. Trump’s Secretary of Labor just announced that they have over 175 investigations into companies suspected of abusing the H-1B visa program.

She says they’re going to force employers to post job openings to the American public before hiring H-1Bs.

imagine that, requiring US companies to search for US workers before hiring cheap temporary foreign labor, why is this controversial?

H1B fraud needs to be investigated retroactively, and people who committed fraud need to be stripped of their permanent residence or citizenship and deported. I'm pretty sure most of these people were too stupid to hide a paper trail and finding some whistleblowers wont be that hard.

WTH? A support letter for Charlie Kirk? Can't we just have a non-partisan, non-whacko group support US workers first? Why is that so hard. https://instituteforsoundpublicpolicy.org/?na=view&id=356

Is it real now ??

Orin Hatch, a R, wanted to dramatically increase H1s and replace American workers with foreign workers. See how that works?

Not to mention that it was the Bushes, father and son, who established the H1B visa program and the F1 student visa STEM practical training extension.

**H-1B visa**: Established by **George H.W. Bush** (Immigration Act of 1990).
**F-1 STEM OPT**: Created by **George W. Bush** (2008 DHS rule).

Yeah all I think that this proves is that Tata's lobbying money went to both sides to ensure a result.

The H-1B program was designed to allow employers to hire a limited number of high-skilled specialty workers—but it has been abused for decades at the expense of American workers. 

Now, fraud, nepotism, and corruption affect every stage of the H-1B visa process.

There was plenty of domestic demand (ie corporate lobbying as well).

Get money out of politics.

So it's okay to snatch Hispanic illegal aliens working menial jobs off the streets.

But it's okay for South Asians to run an international criminal ring stealing high paying jobs from Americans and pay off (aka bribe) the watchdogs.

I see how it works. Nobody has the integrity to put a stop to this scam.

And yet, Bernie caucuses with Dems.

I guess he feels that Rs have abandoned workers more than Dems have, which is true.

According to the conservative SCOTUS, companies are treated like individuals, and they can lobby and contribute all they want. Dems tried to stop that. You are very confused as to which side really cares about the working class (like raising the minimum wage, ensuring people don't lose their health insurance, support unions), and which side doesn't (fought minimum wage increases at the state level, wants to kill ACA, and despises unions)

https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/citizens-united-explained

The Supreme Court’s 2010 ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission is a controversial decision that reversed century-old campaign finance restrictions and enabled corporations and other outside groups to spend unlimited money on elections.

While wealthy donors, corporations, and special interest groups have long spent money on campaigns, their role has ballooned as a result of Citizens United

Do you know what Citizens United is? That's right.. it's the Tea Party, morphed now into the MAGA party.

White women are the minority women in Tech What ratio are you trying to even out?
IDK if we can DEI our way out of the situation that H1B program abuse has created. It's not the right way to go. If employment practices create vast imbalances in workforce that didn't exist before these practices then they have to change or be discontinued.

This is what creates toxic environment in some industries for the rest of the workers and changes work culture. As a result our own workers are pushed out of workforce not only by layoffs but by terrible working conditions. And it's like cancer spreading into other fields where knowledge and experience is no longer valued over obedience and servitude and willingness to forgo fair compensation.

It's not the type of environment that encourages innovation because it weeds out creative intelligent people.
