There are those that will blindly tell you that foreign born workers are not replacing native born workers on a 1 for 1 basis.

The evidence is overwhelming.

I upload the new data monthly when it is released.

All calculations are shown here:

You can easily produce a chart by clicking on the XLS button and prove that Americans are being displaced on a one for one basis as I show here.

Yet still there are those who believe they know better than everybody else who will say this is not happening.

Folks, I can’t fix stupid.

Do your homework.

Don’t trust anybodys work, even mine.

Inform yourself.

B-1 visa holders are not allowed to work in the United States.

According to court documents, the government alleged instances of Infosys circumventing the requirements, limitations, and governmental oversight of the H-1B visa program by knowingly and unlawfully using B-1 visa holders to perform skilled labor to fill positions in the United States for employment that would otherwise be performed by U.S. citizens or by legitimate H-1B visa holders. The government also alleges that Infosys violated U.S. immigration laws to increase its profits, minimize costs of securing visas, increase flexibility of employee movement, obtain an unfair advantage over competitors, and avoid tax liabilities. Following are the specific allegations:

  • Infosys fraudulently used B-1 visa holders to perform jobs that involved skilled labor that were instead required to be performed by U.S. citizens or legitimate H-1B visa holders.
  • Infosys submitted “invitation letters” to U.S. Consular Officials that contained false statements regarding the true purpose of a B-1 visa holder’s travel to deceive the U.S. Consular Officials and secure entry of the visa holder into the United States. These letters often falsely stated that the purpose of travel was for “meetings” or “discussions,” when the true purpose was to engage in activities not authorized under a B-1 visa.
  • Infosys directed B-1 visa holders to deceive U.S. Consular Officials, including providing specific instructions to avoid certain terminology, to secure entry of the visa holder into the United States. Infosys created a “Do’s and Don’ts” memorandum that it provided to foreign nationals entering the United States on a B-1 visa that included the following directions: “Do not mention activities like implementation, design & testing, consulting, etc., which sound like work”; “Also do not use words like, work, activity, etc., in the invitation letter”; and “Please do not mention anything about contract rates.”
  • Infosys told its foreign nationals to inform U.S. Consular Officials that their destination in the United States was the same as that provided in the Labor Condition Application, notwithstanding the fact that Infosys knew that the destinations had changed.
  • Infosys wrote and revised contracts with clients to conceal the fact that Infosys was providing B-1 visa holders to perform jobs that involved skilled or unskilled labor that were otherwise required to be performed by U.S. citizens or required legitimate H-1B visa holders.
  • Infosys concealed the fact that B-1 visa holders were performing jobs that involved skilled or unskilled labor that were otherwise required to be performed by U.S. citizens or legitimate H-1B visa holders. Infosys billed clients for the use of off-shore resources when, in fact, work was being performed by B-1 visa holders in the United States.
  • Infosys failed to maintain I-9 records for many of its foreign nationals in the United States in 2010 and 2011 as required by law, including a widespread failure to update and re-verify the employment authorization status of a large percentage of its foreign national employees.

The settlement agreement requires Infosys to pay $34 million to the United States. This agreement was largely predicated on Infosys’s cooperation with the United States during the investigation and on compliance measures taken by Infosys in the areas of B-1 and H-1B visas and I-9 documentation, both prior to and during the course of the investigation. The settlement agreement requires additional auditing for I-9 forms, a reporting requirement for B-1 usage, an agreement to continue to use only detailed invitation letters, and the continued use of corporate disciplinary processes for employees that violate the immigration laws of the United States.

So President Trump and Stephen Miller are throwing displaced American Workers a bone to nibble on?

Does eliminating the H-1B visa do anything to help American workers get back to work when there are so many other visas that can and will be used?

A better question to ask President Trump is, are we creating enough jobs for our citizens and the nonimmigrant guest workers you want to import?

The obvious answer is no as the following chart shows.

Why can’t you find a job?

The blue bar is how many new jobs we have created each year.

The orange bar is how many visas were issued to import workers on nonimmigrant guest worker visas.

To find out which type of visas were issued, click on the following link to see the details.

A big staffing agency that places workers in tech jobs has been exposed for discriminating against anyone who isn’t a foreign Indian worker.

This story is troubling because we all know this is happening in so many other places, as Americans are being edged out of careers in their own country thanks to self-serving, anti-American companies like this one, who appear to have been up to no good for quite some time.
