[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]both parties are broken Republican candidate Nick Plumb highlighted Texas Health and Human Services Commission contracts awarding millions to IT staffing firms reliant on H-1B visa workers, including one company that received over $10 million since Governor Greg Abbott took office in 2015. He pointed to public data showing hourly rates of $90 to $150 for roles like systems analysts, with suspicions of visa rule violations like benching based on LinkedIn profiles. The post drew calls to halt state funds to such firms and investigate, even as Abbott's recent directive freezes new H-1B petitions by agencies but leaves contractors untouched amid over $6 billion in active deals. H1B is fraud. No one believes it is for skilled labor. [twitter]https://x.com/PlumbNick/status/2043449074897002809?s=20[/twitter][/quote] How does the statement "both parties are broken" jibe with the follow on post that some GOP businessman and crony of republican governnor Abbot has abused the immigration system? That isn't a "both sides" thing.[/quote] Because Democrats, the party of labor, are suing the federal government to KEEP H1Bs!!!!! why would Democrats do this? [i]A coalition of blue states is suing the Trump administration over its fee of $100,000 for H-1B Visas, several Democratic attorneys general announced on Friday. The Trump administration announced in September that it would be implementing the fee for H-1B visas, citing that the program for the visas is overused. California Attorney General Rob Bonta, joined by Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell and New York Attorney General Letitia James and others, is leading the suit. https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/12/politics/h-1b-visa-fee-lawsuit[/i] "It will never be known what acts of cowardice have been committed for fear of not looking sufficiently progressive."
