[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Employers don't have to pay payroll taxes on OPT employees, making them 15.3% cheaper to hire.  The FICA fund loses out on $2.5 billion each year due to this.

OPT visas are not merit-based and have no restrictions or limitations.

Fewer than 50% of U.S. STEM graduates are finding jobs in STEM fields, which is a direct result of the OPT program.

The OPT program is harming American STEM grads by giving companies a financial incentive to hire temporary foreign workers, even though the government is actively encouraging American students to study for STEM degrees.

To make matters worse, a federal court has decided that the government does have the power to exempt OPT workers from Social Security and Medicare taxes, making it even cheaper for employers to hire them.[/quote]

Yes, if you've ever wondered why all your medical professionals seem to be foreign, this is why. It's not necessarily because they are smarter or well-educated. It's because they are cheap af. And they don't mind being underpaid slightly because the conversion rate to their native currency means they are still making BANK.

You guys want immigration reform...THIS is the kind you need to tackle. Not the illegals with ITINs working for $12/hr cleaning McMansions and paying their taxes. [/quote]
