I’ve seen Elizabeth in videos a couple of times.

Believe I’ve even exchanged emails with jeremy.

Never heard of Barbara Jordan.

A must see.

I like to see the way Elizabeth gets directly to the point.

Nothing has changed since way back when.

This is why I say enough, and try and educate everyday Americans.

I had never heard of Elizabeth Farah until about a month ago when I saw her and Steve Bannon discussing the H-1B.

That was a good video, and this is a good video.

I especially like the fact that they made the connection that china would be a nobody if our own businesses hadn’t created it by sending our jobs there.

And more importantly that the same thing is now happening with India.

This war on American workers will be won by battles on many fronts.

What they are discussing here is one of those fronts.

The downside I see is that this has been building since the 70’s when our businesses began sending our jobs to China and since 1990 when our businesses doubled down by importing a tidal wave of nonimmigrant guest workers.

Which means it is going to take tons of lawyers and time to fight it out in court.

And it needs to be done.

But I wanted to show you another front in this war, and one that I believe will win much sooner.

Lets discuss what President Trump did wrong and why everybody hates him for being a racist and against immigration.

Immigration or Nonimmigrant?

See the first Total line?

This is the total for Immigrant.

See the second Total line?

This is the total for Nonimmigrant.

By not distinguishing between Immigrant and Nonimmigrant, you suddenly have a lot of American families calling you a racist even though what you might be doing is right.

Simply because you said you were against immigration.

This is important.

We must refer to nonimmigrant totals when making any claims, or we will immediately be on the defensive, no matter how right our cause is.

How many jobs did we create?

Elon Musk has convinced President Trump that it is possible to create an infinite number of new jobs.

And it is possible even in my opinion.

But, as you can see, every President has created about the same number of jobs since 1939, and that even includes President Trump in his first term.

But he believes if he gets all of these businesses to set up shop in America, he can create enough jobs to break this trend.

And he might be able to do that, but we have a substantial amount of data proving that rather than hire Americans in America, companies like Apple and TSMC and Hyundai or the Chip Companies will import nonimmigrant guest workers to work in those jobs here in America.

How does that benefit America, or Americans?

Before looking at the next section, every time in the media, tv, news, radio, political discussion, whatever, when somebody discusses jobs we need to immediately ask them how many jobs we create per year on average.

The answer is about 2 million jobs per year.

We need to force this question because it avoids any racist or xenophobic statements immediately.

How many of these jobs do Americans get?

Every month when the unemployment data comes out on the first friday of the month, there is a Table A-7 that gets updated.

It tracks EMPLOYED by foreign born and native born.

I track this monthly and you can view it at any time by clicking on either of the following two links.

• https://guestworkervisas.com/whogetsjobs.php
• https://guestworkervisas.com/tablea7.php

The main thing you need to understand is that for every point foreign born goes up, native born goes down one point.

Now lets look at the summary page on the second link titled tablea7

See how the Foreign Born Percent is at 0.23% and the Native Born Percent is at -.023%?

This is the point for point I have been discussing.

We have data going all the way back to Jan 2007, but because President Trump was bragging last month about how he broke the 15 month losing trend that Biden had set, I only compare the last two months so we can compare to his numbers when he releases them.

Notice how Foreign Born received 538,000 of the jobs created, and Native Born received 329,000 of the jobs created?

 

This means that Foreign Born received 51.6% of the jobs created and Native Born received 48.4% of the jobs created.

What most don’t notice is Foreign Born Workers are 19.7% of the workforce and Native Born Workers are 80.3% of the workforce as of the latest reading. (last line where the red and green markers are.

Those paying attention will notice that the job gains described here do not match the actual total nonfarm payroll job gains.

This is because they use two different systems for tracking the data.

 THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION -- MARCH 2025


Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 228,000 in March, and the unemployment rate changed
little at 4.2 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Job gains occurred
in health care, in social assistance, and in transportation and warehousing. Employment also
increased in retail trade, partially reflecting the return of workers from a strike. Federal
government employment declined.

Now lets get back to the question of how many jobs have we created.

We know from the previous sections that we create approximately 2 million jobs per year, and that Americans are not getting the lions share of those jobs.

Now lets look at our high school graduates.

The data for this chart can be found by clicking on the following link.

https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d17/tables/dt17_219.10.asp

As you can see, we are close to 4 million high school graduates per year needing jobs, yet we only create about 2 million jobs per year.

So in other words, we are setting our high school kids up for failure before they have even began their game of life.

Why are we allowing one single nonimmigrant visa to be issued to anybody wanting to work in America when this is happening is what you need to be discussing when our politicians or our businesses tell you they need more workers.

Now we discuss nonimmigrant visa totals.

A quick glance at this chart shows us that on average we are issuing about 6 million Nonimmigrant visas per year.

The argument can be made that many of them are for pleasure, and this is true.

But the argument can also be made that many of them want those 2 million jobs per year that we create and they don’t give a damn about our high school graduates getting any of them.

To understand the totals, we need to look at these 4 pages..

There are many questions I have at this point, but the main two are which ones are wanting our jobs, and of those wanting our jobs, are these visas renewed each year (so that the total would be more than it is).

How do we know the exact totals?

But again, our conversation should not have reached this level because it is obvious that we have more high school graduates needing jobs, then we created jobs for.

Time to discuss those STEM jobs.

You do not hear our businesses say we need to import more people for the restaurant industry or the attorney industry.

No, they say we don’t have enough programmers.

Before we even open our mouths to respond, we need to understand this data so that we can say why?

Computer and mathematical jobs comprise the T and M portion of our stem jobs.

In 2024 we created 15,490 computer and math jobs.

In 2024 we had 566,993 H-1B applications for those jobs.

Even the dumbest reporter out there should be able to say Elon, how do you justify wanting 566,993 H-1B workers when we only created 15,490 jobs?

Architecture and Engineering comprise the E portion of our stem jobs.

In 2024 we created 27,550 architecture and engineering jobs.

In 2024 we had 78,759 H-1B applications for those jobs.

By now that dumb reporter should be saying, where is the shortage of workers?

This is the doctors portion of our stem jobs.

It does appear that we create more jobs than we have H-1B applications in this field.

You can pull up any of these charts and more by clicking on the following link and selecting the appropriate category.

https://guestworkervisas.com/oes.php

As you have seen, our businesses and politicans saying that we don’t have enough high skilled workers is nothing but a lie, and we need to call them out on this.

Happy Hunting

By watching the video, you have seen one aspect of how this battle needs to be fought, and a good one too.

Myself, I’m a simple country boy, raised in the oil field and the navy and I prefer a simpler strategy that avoids any cries of racism and xenophobia that will win the war much quicker.

To me this nonimmigrant scam where our businesses and politicians say they can’t find enough skilled people can be thought of as a deer.

I want to hunt it.

I want to kill it.

I want to hang it from a tree and skin it and quarter it.

I want to grind it up into sausage.

I want to distribute it to all of those like myself who have lost everything because our politicians have enabled this scam since the 1970’s and doubled down on it in 1990.

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, I know the data comes from two different systems.

Which is probably why none of the economists have done what I’m going to show you.

If we pull the totals for visas for the F1, H-1B, H-2A, H-2B, L-1, TN and OPT visas between 1997 and 2023, we find that we have issued 21,234,713 of them.

If we pull Jan 1997 and Dec 2023 total nonfarm payroll numbers, we find that we have created 35,573,000 new jobs during that time period.

If we subtract those 21,234,713 foreign visas from the jobs we have created, we are left with 14,338,287 jobs for Americans even though we have many times that needing and wanting jobs.

If we divide those totals by the new jobs created total, we end up with Foreign Born getting 59.7% of those jobs, and Native Born getting 40.3% of those jobs.

Keep in mind we haven’t even looked at the table A-7 data.

If we pull the March 2025 data from table A-7 (the combined employed and unemployed), we end up with Foreign Born getting 54.6% of those jobs, and Native Born getting 45.4% of those jobs.

This is a difference of 5.1% in favor of Foreign Born and a decline of 5.1% for Native Born.

Awful close, isn’t it?

Especially considering how we pulled data from 3 different systems and they show the same picture.

Today, the Bureau of Labor Statistics release an article about the fastest growing industry sector between 2023 and 2033 which is Professional, Scientific and Technical Services.

https://www.bls.gov/careeroutlook/2025/article/fastest-growing-industry-sector.htm

It is projected to increase by 10.5 percent.

So, what were we in 2023?

10,694,200 Times 10.5 percent is 11,817,091

So in 10 years we are going to have created 112,289 jobs per year.

Anybody that follows my work knows that about 70% of all H-1B applications are for these technical jobs.

So how many applications and approvals do we have per year?

In 2023 we had 820,559 H-1B applications and 265,777 initial and continuing approvals.

And we are going to create 112,289 jobs per year?

It doesn’t compute but Elon Musk, DOGE and datarepublican say there are plenty of jobs out there.

Are you going to believe what you see and experience in the job market, or the propaganda that the BLS puts out and Elon will censor you to the death if you try and say otherwise?

 

OK, here goes my mega-thread on H1B. This is my experience not only as a tech worker, but as a leader of large engineering teams. I work in at a large and well-known Silicon Valley tech company, and have been here for over 10 years. I’m tagging a bunch of people in hopes that people read and understand the magnitude and cause of the problem.

First of all, the scale of this problem. When I go to work, in Silicon Valley, it’s rare I see any Americans at all. Everyone, literally, is Indian, with a smattering of Chinese. Just recently I was at a meeting of all director and above leaders for my product, and I was the only one (of about 25) who was not Indian male. Picking a random senior director of engineering at random from our corporate directory, who is Indian, he has 36 US-based employees. Of them 2 are American, 2 are Chinese, the rest Indian. All of his bosses up to the CEO are Indian. This is not an outlier. This is a typical director and I could pick virtually any in our engineering org and see the same thing. If you walk into our San Jose cafeteria at lunch time, you’d think you’d been magically transported to Bangalore. You would see almost nobody but Indians. This stands in stark opposition to Elon’s absurd claim that it is “insanely hard” to migrate here. 1/9

We do have a large number of contractors from the body shops. However, my own team and the teams I work with are all full-time employees (FTEs.) These FTEs are not paid less than Americans. Their pay is based on title, grade, and location. A grade 5 H1B software engineer in San Jose is on a pay scale which is identical to a grade 5 American software engineer in San Jose. In fact, these H1Bs are paid more. They received relocation costs of around $25k to come to the US. They get thousands of dollars a year in visa expedite feeds, and legal fees paid by our company to Fragomen, the evil immigration law firm. They get a minimum one month of undocumented PTO to “work from India” each year. While they are “working from India” they are off-line and not working, thus it is PTO. I don’t get that month. They are also given huge bonuses compared to Americans. When we assign bonuses each year, we assign a percentage of their target bonus to give. A high performer can get more than his contracted bonus if I assign, say, 120%. (This is common, and we usually get extra budget.) I have assigned mediocre employees low bonuses only to see my Indian bosses override and assign much higher bonuses. One of my mediocre employees got 200% from the Indian execs, double his contracted bonus. I’ve never, ever (ever!) in 10 years seen an American assigned 200%. And yet it’s happened with multiple Indian employees, and it’s generally dictated by execs for their favorites. 2/9

Why are these people employed by the company when they are more expensive? There are a couple reasons. First, whenever we lose an employee in America we are told to backfill in India, because it is a fraction of the cost. Then, when the Indian employee is trained up on our products and processes, he asks to be moved to the US. I have never approved a relocation, but my Indian bosses insist on it. These relos happen on either L1 or just an H1B. Because we refuse to backfill Americans with Americans, we have created a pipeline of Indians into America. This also means there is a large cadre of foreign workers in the US trained on our products, and it is becoming hard to find non-foreign workers who are. The other reason is that the Indian mafia that runs our company practices invidious discrimination against Americans. The Indians favor their own. As a hiring manager, I’ve been sent resumes many times by Indian colleagues of friends, always, in 10 years, ALWAYS for other Indians. When I tried to source a diverse candidate pool for a recent requisition, and was about to hire a diverse (i.e., non-Indian) candidate, my Indian exec pulled the budget from me. Meanwhile, another Indian leader in my organization had a req at the same grade level and closed it immediately by hiring an Indian buddy. As is always the case, the buddy had no expertise in the product or technology domain. They will hire Indians with no expertise and train them up, but never Americans. 3/9

Hallway conversations are always in Hindi. I have raised this to the executive level twice in director-and-above meetings. In both cases the execs (Indian) asked the team to speak in English. Literally the next day, my colleagues were speaking Hindi in front of me. Indians tend to only invite other Indians to meetings. They exclude those of us who are not Indian. (This is not just my personal experience, I’ve confirmed it with many other Americans). Then, when it comes time for performance reviews, your Indian boss will tell you that you are not “participating”. Indians are hyper-aggressive and rude, and if you come from a culture that values politeness, they will run all over you and then tell your boss you are not aggressive enough. Meanwhile, meetings run by Indians are catastrophic shouting matches which demonstrate the worst decision-making I’ve ever seen. I had stellar performance reviews working under the handful of American bosses we have. I had a variety of company awards and recognitions. When I was finally transferred to an Indian boss, everything was taken away. My team was divided up and re-assigned to Indian managers, and I was given negative reviews for the first time in my life. 4/9

There are also a number of US universities that are participating in the scam. Our own company established a program to train people up in our technologies at a state university in the middle of nowhere in the midwest. Hey, we’re training Americans, that’s a good thing, right? In actuality, the professor running the program was Indian and used the program as a vehicle to bring in Indians on F1 visas. I’ve met dozens of graduates of his program, and every single one, without exception, was from India. 5/9

The idea that we are recruiting the top talent from other countries is absurd. We’ve seen product quality deteriorate rapidly. The foreign-born workers are incapable of writing clear or consistent documentation. Our release product contains spelling and grammatical errors in the user interface consistent with those Indians make. Our American customers are constantly complaining, our market share is plummeting, and yet we continue to hire more of this “top .1%”. The Indians certainly have enough education to code and do other technical tasks, but do so in a slipshod manner. They do only their own job, and don’t coordinate well with other teams. When we point out problems, they revert to the default mode of those reared in India—defensiveness. They refuse to admit there is any problem, and the more they are challenged and their shoddy work pointed out, the more they yell and scream. There is no introspection, no ability to learn from one’s faults. 6/9

In the time I have worked here I have met with the FBI, the CIA (although they use another name), the Army, the Navy, and many other major US government agencies. They all use our products in their critical infrastructure, and they select our company because we are “American”. We may be headquartered here, but virtually nobody building these products is actually American. I would point out that while Indians are by far the largest group of foreigners—and I would rank India as an economic enemy—China is the runner up. Chinese nationals are a significant portion of the H1B workforce. I also happen to notice that the Chinese I work with spend a lot of time “searching” internal web sites and are very useful for having documentation on all sorts of projects within the company. If I need confidential documentation on a product I’m not working on, I always ask a Chinese co-worker and they will have it. My previous company found an advanced persistent threat in its code. That is, the Chinese who were building our infrastructure product had infected it with hidden code that could be triggered by China. If we were to go to war with China, they would pull the plug on our computer systems and networks immediately, since they built much of them. Recent attacks like Salt Typhoon show this weakness, yet nobody every talks about the issue of H1Bs and foreigners building the products of companies that were explicitly called out as compromised. 7/9

Meanwhile, my white working class suburb is rapidly being taken over by foreigners, primarily Indians. In a just a few years, we went from 80% white to 40%, the difference being made up of Indians. Every house sells to Indians now. They have banned beef at neighborhood parties, and cricket is now taught at neighborhood schools. When I moved here, 10 years ago, I was surrounded by American neighbors. Now, when I walk outside, all I see is women in saris and men with third-eyes. They are not friendly at all, despite what Scott Adams says. They have moved in and rapidly displaced customs and culture that has been built here for decades, with their own. The whole neighborhood now reeks of curry. Other towns face similar fates. Growing up in the Bay Area, I knew many people from Fremont. They had names like Doug and Dave and Mike. Now, you’d be out of place in Fremont without a name like Ashish or Kumar. The city is entirely Indian. The new film “Didi” showcases the fact that Fremont has been taken over—the cast is non-American. The people who built these places have been displaced from their own homes, and are no longer treated as welcome here. 8/9

The Wall Street Journal editors probably don’t know any of this, as they sit in their nice homes in rich parts of Virginia or the Hamptons or wherever they live writing editorials in support of H1B. Elon Musk certainly knows better. Elon’s HQ was until recently in Fremont. Driving around he would have seen this. He knows the tech industry and what these companies look like. That makes Elon a bald-faced liar when he says it is “insanely hard” to migrate here. He knows that’s patently false. The complete displacement of one people by another has many names. Colonization is a good one. Invasion is another. The H1B program is turning large swaths of America into suburbs of Uttar Pradesh. These people who are coming over do not care about you, about America, or about our history or customs. They just want to take over. They want your kids replaced by their kids. They want your culture replaced by their eight-armed gods. If we don’t do something drastic now, it will be too late. This means: ending birthright citizenship, cancelling H1B, rolling back green cards for Indian citizens, and sending people back to their home country. Go make India great again. That’s your home. This is mine. 9/9

https://x.com/fluminabbylonis/status/1875288289433055317

The November 2024 total nonfarm payroll number is 159,288,000

The latest U-6 unemployment percentage is 7.4%

This means we have 11,787,312 people that are unemployed.

We also had 3,705,540 high school graduates needing jobs.

And we had 10,438,327 guest worker visas issued.

This means we need to create 25,931,179 jobs to keep up with the demand.

We created 3,013,000 jobs.

This means we are short 22,918,179 jobs.

Adding in the SoftBank job numbers of 100,000 means we are short 22,818,179 jobs.

And something along these lines happens every year.

Is it any wonder that our Congress, our Senate, and all of our Governmental organizations cannot balance a budget when they can’t even discuss these numbers openly with us?

Or are they deliberately not willing to discuss these numbers because it proves they are not doing their job to protect the American Citizen?

 

Do people buy insurance to help them in their time of need?

Why do our students go to school?

Why do 22 veterans a day commit suicide?

Three totally separate questions, but all three are deeply related.

Recently Brian Thompson was murdered.

He was the CEO of United Healthcare.

This was terrible no matter how you look at it, and the murderer should be tried and prosecuted according to our laws.

But how and why did it happen?

The details are still being sorted out but the theory seems to be that he had his healthcare claim denied.

If people pay healthcare to protect them in their time of need, who do they turn to when a corporation denies them in their time of need?

This is a volcano that has been simmering for sometime, and my thought is if you leave people with no options and back them into a corner, what will they do?

I ask this question because there is a bigger volcano that is ready to explode on a much larger scale.

Our corporate executives have been sending our best paying jobs offshore.

It started with the lie that they would find similar or better paying jobs.

This has been happening since at least the mid 70’s and it has destroyed once bright futures, and many communities.

Starting earnestly in 1990 these same corporate excecutives have been importing nonimmigrant guest workers to take our remaining best paying jobs.

Once again this is destroying once bright futures and leaving our citizens nowhere to turn, and many of our once thriving communities in ruin.

Many of us who have endured this have gave up ever working for corporate america again, and have sought safe harbor in government jobs.

Problem is, these government jobs, whether they be state or federal are now hiring the same imported guest workers.

And after decades of attempting to let every contact I could find at the Department of Labor and Department of Veterans Affairs know, I can assure you that nobody is home.

They are clueless, but when the average person working at unemployment offices across the country make around $30,000 per year, do we really think they can understand what skills are necessary to make six figures per year in the technology industry?

Like most I used to think this was only happening in the technology industry, but after 20 years of studying this, I realize it is all jobs in America and it can best be shown via this chart.

If you look at the number of jobs we created over the previous year, and then compare it to the number of visas issued, you realize that we have many more workers than we do jobs.

If you break down the visa totals into actual visa types, we see that the B-1 visas have the largest numbers.

I have had people say you can’t use those B-1 visa totals because they are not allowed to be used for work.

When I inform them that Infosys has been fined for using the B-1 visas for work, they then say well that is only a small percentage, which could very well be true.

Or it could be totally false if enough whistleblowers come forward.

We may never know the answer to that.

To move past that question, I decided to add our high school graduates as they will need work once they graduate from high school.

As you can see by the chart, in most years, we had more high school graduates than we created jobs for.

At this point a large quantity of people will say that is because they don’t want to work.

But if their experience is anything like mine, they are not finding jobs, and once again, this is because we import many times the number of guest workers compared to the number of jobs we create.

Somebody is getting forced out of the work force and since it isn’t the imported guest workers, it is the american citizen.

And trust me, nobody in the media or government is listening.

The picture above is a summary of a monthly total for foreign born employed and native born employed that shows who is getting the most jobs created since Jan 2007 when these totals first started.

If you look at the green row, you see that Foreign Born Employed has gone up by .037 and that Native Born Employed has gone down by .037.

This is an exact one for one match, and it repeats every month.

What is not so obvious is that Foreign Born Workers are only 19.2% of the workforce whereas Native Born Workers are 80.8% of the workforce.

Yet Foreign Born Workers have received 52.2% of all new jobs created since Jan 2007 with Native Born Workers receiving 44.4% of these new jobs.

Is it any wonder we are not finding jobs?

Hell, President Trump is preparing to staple green cards to their diplomas if they graduate college.

And Stephen Miller has gone silent.

And Elon Musk is telling the guest workers that he will move heaven and earth to get them here.

And he doesn’t seem to care if Americans get forced out or not.

And still the media plays the hypocrite about the shooter.

And our politicians like elizabeth warren and AOC play the other side and hint that the people have nowhere to turn.

And we watch as that smaller volcano erupts.

While we sit on top of a much bigger volcano that is heating up.

22 veterans a day is something that should not be happening.

But it is.

During President Trump’s first time in office, I wrote him a letter stating that I believe many of these suicides may be because of the economic problems I’m describing here.

He must have read it because about six months later I get pulled into the office at the local VA hospital and asked if I am suicidal.

That is how tone death management is all the way up and all the way back down the line.

Here I am trying to describe what is happening.

And there response is, there must be something wrong with you.

This is why the problem will continue to grow until somebody else gives up and targets another corporate executive, which I hope will never happen.

While some politician shifts the blame to the same corporate executive rather than admitting that they might be the problem.

And that their actions are enabling all of this nightmare.
