[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Employers don't have to pay social security or medicare for that employee so that means they save 8% for each worker under OPT.  Nearly 540,000 foreign nationals hold jobs in the U.S. without any FICA taxes taken out of their paychecks. This is costing the US billions and causing employers to give preference to foreign nationals over Americans.

At a minimum employers should be made to pay employment taxes.

There is so much that can be done.   I don’t understand why Democrats are not leading the charge to stop the replacement of US citizens with cheap foreign labor .

We all know republicans are evil and will exploit workers, but what happened to Democrats?   Why are they not repealing h1b and repealing OPT or doing something to fix these programs that hurt US citizens?

I constantly contact my reps , was Connolly, and he was the worst.   He advocated FOR h1b and OPT.   The emails I would receive from him talked about how the US needs skilled labor.  He was completely clueless.[/quote]

Now, I hear about recent US STEM college grads not landing jobs and older US workers losing jobs. But has that always been the case? I thought there was a long period of time when US grads were not sufficient to meet tech company needs. Lots of people were trying to encourage more US students to go into those stem majors. Not saying policies should be as they have been - companies are certainly taking advantage of low wages and exploitable foreign workers, at the expense of US workers. But there is some reason we got here in the first place. [/quote]
