Our replacement workers are Tata Consulting India employees, holders of congressionally sanctioned H–1b and L–1 work visas.

I am Mike Emmons of Longwood, FL, a computer software engineer.

I am also, one of approximately 20 Americans that were ordered by corporate management to train our foreign replacement workers. Our replacement workers are Tata Consulting India employees, holders of congressionally sanctioned H–1b and L–1 work visas.

Siemens brought the Americans into a room and told them that they would be laid off, but first they said: We want you to train your replacements. They held out a carrot for the Americans, stay on and train your replacements then we’ll give you this severance when you leave.

Once Tata employees were on site, they immediately began interviewing us on how to do our jobs.

President Trump, the 100,000 jobs that SoftBank will create will solve nothing.

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?

 

How many Texans like myself has Governor Abbott destroyed by using workers like these in government agencies with your money?

In 2019, an Indian management consulting firm based in Chicago paid a $2.5 million penalty as part of a global settlement for visa fraud and inducing aliens to enter and remain in the U.S. illegally. That case, which was headed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, included allegations that the company had instructed the workers how to avoid detection and paid them India-based wages, which were substantially lower than what they should have received.

Six years earlier, Infosys Limited, an Indian company involved in consulting, technology and outsourcing, agreed to a record $34 million civil settlement to resolve allegations of systemic visa fraud and abuse of immigration processes in a similar scheme investigated by federal authorities in Texas. The company had been accused of concealing that migrant visitors had obtained work visas under false pretenses and were performing jobs that were required to be performed by U.S. citizens or legitimate H-1B visa holders.

Four months ago, Lakshmikanth Sripuram was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Albany to a year of probation and fined $10,000 for his guilty plea to wire fraud conspiracy in connection with a years-long scheme involving the falsification of work histories of computer programmers who were hired for a special project with the state comptroller’s office. Late last month, the judge amended his sentence to include a requirement that he pay $350,000 in restitution.

Sripuram , a 37-year-old citizen of India, admitted to conspiring with a former employee of the comptroller’s office, Srinivas Kancha, who allegedly received kickbacks when he subsequently interviewed and hired the programmers, and also set their salaries. A federal criminal complaint alleges Kancha, a 56-year-old Selkirk resident, knew the computer programmers had falsified qualifications and that they had been provided the questions they would be asked by him in their job interviews.

Kancha was charged in January 2021 with conspiracy to commit mail fraud. He has not been indicted and his case remains pending in U.S. District Court in Albany nearly four years later.

Sripuram’s foreign passport was subsequently turned over to U.S. immigration authorities. According to court filings, he is fighting to remain in the United States, and his attorney recently pleaded with immigration authorities to revive his green card application.

Sripuram’s company, PIntegra, was one of three firms that were under contract to provide computer programmers to state agencies. The state comptroller’s office hired 17 of the programmers for a massive project involving the state retirement system; they were paid hourly rates ranging from $80 to $120. PIntegra received about $870,000 from the state comptroller’s office under the contract, with Sripuram keeping a percentage of the programmers’ pay.

So New York admits they have been bitten by the proxy worker virus?

In May, a senior official in Gov. Kathy Hochul’s administration warned state agency leaders about suspected fraud involving hourly computer programmers

Lothumalla and another person who owns a New York computer software programming company that has done contract work for state government agencies — and spoke on the condition of not being identified — said that it’s common for the programmers employed by private vendors to not even do the work. Instead, they said, those programmers may have someone who is located elsewhere in the U.S. — or in India — doing their work remotely while the person is sitting in a state government office.

The companies that employ those individuals, they said, often take a larger cut of the hourly workers’ salary than is reported to the government agencies they work for. And the practice dates back years.

My Submission to DOGE

I wasn’t going to make this public, but I’m seeing some things that have me concerned, so I have decided to make it public.

  • – – –

I’m a navy veteran.

Learned I was good with technology back around 1980.

Worked my way up the ladder by learning my trade.

My background is naval communications, specifically RF communications.

After the navy I did about 6 years as an electronics technician.

After that I did around 30 years of software development and I have worn all hats in software.

Around 2003 when I turned 45 it became hard to find work even though my skills were as sharp as ever, if not better.

Around 2016 I decided if I would go to work for the government, I could once again work my way up the ladder.

That never happened, but it put me in a position to explain this situation the government has, which is right up your alley.

As I was working as a janitor, I noticed all the RFID Sensors installed all over the VA hospital at Kerrville Texas.

Thinking this would be my way up the ladder, I found somebody in engineering to discuss it with and said, if you will give me access to about six of those sensors, I can find a way to get it running.

They wouldn’t even discuss it because apparently there was a big lawsuit going on where the contractor, they bid it out to couldn’t deliver.

https://www.rfidjournal.com/news/va-to-reassess-contract-proposals-for-nationwide-rtls-deployments/83825/

That was the last time I heard anything about this system.

Thinking about your government efficiency program, I have a challenge, and I’ll be the first to tell you that I don’t know what the latest status is since I haven’t worked there in years.

A google search for the following terms makes it look like nothing has been accomplished.

veterans affairs rfid patient tracking

And some of the bids I’ve seen have been close to a billion dollars.

Hire me as a government employee (I need 3 more years to buy my military time back and get a small pension) at the GS-13 level (so that no bureaucrat at the local hospital in Kerrville can try and shut me down) for the 2.6 years you have given yourselves.

Somewhere between 6 months and 2 years, I’ll figure out how to get it working for whatever dollar amount my salary works out too, AND I’ll document all the steps necessary to make it work so that you can roll this out nationwide and save the government a bunch of money.

Why that timeframe?

I have no idea what is out there and what has been done.

I doubt very seriously the existing staff does either because they have a low-level systems technician come in from the San Antonio office and the guy that was there when it was installed has retired.

How will I make it work if you decide to approve this?

One doorway, one piece of equipment at a time.

Once you have that working, then you can move onto the hallway and the next doorway.

By that time, it is a simple exercise to replicate the process for all systems.

I did a lot of mapping showing the location of H-1B workers nationwide and the companies sending jobs offshore, so I don’t think it will be much of a problem as in its simplest form, that is all it is.

If I’m successful and you want me to stay around to train the staff at each hospital, I have no problem with that.

If I fail, which I doubt, you have spent hardly any money and you now have insight into one of the largest government agencies and how inefficient it is.

Respectfully,

Is Fox News, President Trump and President Biden to blame for the recent CEO shooting?

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.

Do we create enough jobs for our High School Graduates President Trump?

I ask this question because Elon Musk wants to import even more workers at the expense of Americans in America.

I feel that this is wrong.

Lets discuss the numbers.

Jobs created data comes from the following link.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PAYEMS

Visa data comes from the following two links.

https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Statistics/AnnualReports/FY2023AnnualReport/FY2023_AR_TableXVA.pdf

High School data comes from the following link.

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

This data gives me the ability to put together this chart so that I can ask the right questions of President Trump, Vice President Vance, and the billionaires of the DOGE gang that I’m beginning to believe do not represent every day Americans in America.

Hopefully they will prove me wrong.

Aman Singh, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of GradRight, said that the demand is up again and Donald Trump was always in favour of tech talent.

However, students and parents are worried over the reports of the slump in the US job market.

As the article shows, students and parents and even unemployed Americans with technology skills are worried over the slump in the US job market.

And the evidence shows that we are importing more guest workers from other countries than we are creating jobs for.

Folks, we do not create enough jobs for unemployed Americans, let alone the rest of the world.

Over the past four years, Salesforce has aggressively offshored jobs, exploited immigration loopholes, and redirected profits to build a foreign workforce—all while shedding thousands of U.S. employees.

The Cost Calculation

The financial motivation behind offshoring jobs is pretty simple; the annual salary of a U.S. STEM worker averages $115,000 versus $25,000 to $30,000 for an India-based one.  That’s a staggering 75% cost reduction and further supports our speculation that Salesforce is purely interested in maximizing their profits at the expense of U.S. workers.

Funding Foreign Economies with American Dollars

Currently 93% of Salesforce’s revenue comes from U.S. customers, so it’s a bitter irony to learn they’re rapidly dismantling their American workforce. In short, Salesforce is reaping the profits it earns stateside and investing them in India’s future.  And that commitment to India is becoming increasingly more profound.

In the last few years, Salesforce has partnered with over 2,500 Indian colleges and through its online training platform Trailhead, has granted 65,000 internships and plans to expand that number to 200,000.  They’ve also executed memorandums of understanding (MOUs) that make Salesforce courses required in dozens of educational institutions.

Visa Program Manipulation

Salesforce has also been asking for more H-1B workers and is suspected of gaming the PERM process, the system through which H-1B visa holders are sponsored for Green Cards – at the same time they continue to lay off Americans. Between August 2023 and July 2024, Salesforce filed 824 PERM applications and over 4,300 H-1B petitions.

These immigration programs, which are ostensibly designed to address a shortage of skilled workers, are being used to displace qualified Americans.  And adding insult to injury, companies like Salesforce further entrench an exploitative model by bringing in foreign managers to oversee the offshore teams they’ve established.

Are illegal immigrants showing up in the job data yet?

We hear President Trumps team saying that illegals are taking our jobs.

Yet when we look at the job data that tracks foreign born workers, we see this.

Granted there has been an upturn during the last 4 years, but if we look at visas issued, there has been an upturn there as well.

So no, I do not believe illegal immigrants are showing up in the jobs data yet because if they were, we would see a large upturn, and it simply is not there.
