Sold Out: How High-Tech Billionaires & Bipartisan Beltway Crapweasels Are Screwing Am

(I am posting this for content as it relates to recent news about Congressman Kevin Yoder, HR392/S281, H1-b visas, green cards, India, outsourcing, daily lobbying by Immigration Voice to get co-sponsors of HR392. My Congress member signed on to the bill the end of September. It has well over 300 co-signers.)

SOLD OUT: How High-Tech Billionaires & Bipartisan Beltway Crapweasels Are Screwing America’s Best & Brightest Workers

My co-author John Miano, a software engineer-turned American tech workers’ advocate/attorney, and I dive deep into the foreign guest-worker racket fueled by cheap labor-addicted Silicon Valley CEOs and their water-carriers on Capitol Hill.

· We name the names of the corrupt crapweasels in both parties who are selling out American workers.

· We trace the high-tech money trail and expose the shady front groups spreading lies and panic about a mythical “shortage” of American high-skilled workers.

· We explain how special interest lobbyists and bureaucrats eroded American worker protections in federal law.

· And we expose the backroom immigration deals and legislatives payoffs that are sabotaging our best and brightest workers.

You’ve undoubtedly read about — or maybe even experienced yourself — the scandalous layoffs of tens of thousands of U.S. tech workers who’ve been forced to train their lower-wage, less-skilled replacements mostly from India.

As our book excerpt printed in the NYPost this weekend spotlights, it happened at Disney. Southern California Edison. Toys ‘R Us. Intel. Cisco. Harley-Davidson. Bank of America. Best Buy. Siemens. Dun and Bradstreet. Pfizer. And so many more.

Coercing American workers to dig their own graves to make way for cheap foreign workers on the payrolls of the world’s largest offshore outsourcing companies is a primary feature, not just an aberrant bug of the so-called H-1B visa program, which turns 25 years old this month.

Yet, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and even Ted Cruz all support massive expansions of these outsourcing visas demanded by Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Michael Bloomberg, and the open-borders establishment!
John and I bring you inside documents and harrowing stories of the heroes and villains in the battle to put America’s high-skilled workers first.

We show you:

· How Barack Obama’s stealthy executive amnesties are granting hundreds of thousands of work permits not only to illegal aliens, but also to low-wage foreign tech workers and their spouses with little monitoring, no wage protections, no payment of Social Security taxes, and no requirement for employers to demonstrate labor market shortages;

· How Microsoft wined and dined the Bush administration to expand the foreign worker supply through administrative fiat to circumvent public disclosure and congressional debate;

· How Hillary Clinton lured Indian offshore sourcing powerhouse Tata to New York in a phony bid to create American jobs (only 10 were produced), while the company was petitioning to import more than 1,600 Indian workers on H-1B visas;

· How Facebook has spent tens of millions of dollars lobbying for immigration liberalization and worked with GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch to make it even easier to fire American workers and replace them with lower-wage temporary foreign substitutes;

· How American tech worker Jay Palmer blew the whistle on discrimination, fraud, and abuse by Indian offshore outsourcing giant Infosys in the face of death threats against him and his family (“Just leave your not wanted here hope your journey brings you death stupid America,” one message said) and won the largest civil settlement ($34 million) ever in an immigration case;

· How Boeing exploited the B-1 business/tourist visa program as an end-run around H-1B requirements to bring hundreds of cheap Russian engineers to work at its Seattle headquarters;

· How the F-1 foreign student visa program (which has no cap) has morphed into another huge cheap foreign worker pipeline and is plagued by fraudulent visa and diploma mills run by corrupt school officials;

· How Harry Reid, Terry McAuliffe, Haley Barbour, South Dakota economic development con artists, and Hollywood studios have exploited the corrupt EB-5 cash-for-green cards scheme;

· How Big Businesses who support amnesty and H-1B visa expansions push Common Core to perpetuate the myth of an American tech worker crisis—and to cynically manufacture an American talent deficit with the world;

· How my co-author John Miano and other American workers are fighting the corporate and government sellouts in court—and winning; and

· Where the 2016 candidates stand and what pro-American immigration reform really looks like.
If you are a high-skilled worker who wants to be heard…

If you have kids or grandkids who aspire to work in science, technology, engineering, or math…

If you are fed up with both parties and want ammunition on how to fight the donorist class that is destroying the American Dream…

You need to get our book.

John and I will be on TV and radio all this week to talk about our work. I’ll keep you posted here on our appearances. Today, we’ll be on The Blaze radio (11:00am Eastern) and TV with Glenn Beck (sometime in the 5pm Eastern hour). Tonight, I’ll join Megyn Kelly on Fox News (sometime in the 9pm Eastern hour).

Special note: On Thursday, we’ll be at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. for a forum graciously hosted by the Center for Immigration Studies and moderated by Mark Krikorian. Joining us will be Leo Perrero, one of the American IT workers fired by Disney and required to train their foreign replacements.

I am thankful for your readership of all my work over the years, but am especially grateful for everything you can do to help support SOLD OUT. We need you to help us spread the word and educate your friends, family, neighbors, and political representatives. Knowledge is power!

Not sure of the date of the article but that explains the huge back-log and their desire to convert from H1B to Green Card status, no, this should not be allowed, that is defying the whole purpose of a short-term 6 year visa and allows them to jump the line against others waiting in their home countries. It's not fair to Americans for this to happen, it's not fair to qualifying Green Card applicants, it's wrong on all levels, the H1B program needs to be terminated and all still here deported, the entire family unit.

Judy, I included the date. Sometimes it takes me a bit to get things together. Or I may overlook something piecing it all together. :)

Oh thank you so much, GeorgiaPeach, I thought it might be before Trump or Malkin would have mentioned what Trump was or is doing, so 2015. So now it's over 28 years old .... oh lord, end it now. I had no idea this crap had been around that long.

END THE H1B NOW. Hire every American who knows anything about what the skill type is, they're here, we have our own who know how to do any and everything any H1B does. Start training more if you think you need more. 2 years of training on top of a college degree is all you need to be able to do anything these H1B's are doing. And an American will do it 10 x better and faster and they'll do it right and they'll do it on time the first time. Ask anyone, they'll tell you, no better worker than an American Worker.

They mentioned that people are not rushing over to India to go to school. We have the people, we have the skills.

Exactly. They have nothing we want or need. Americans built these companies, American made them the fantastic companies they became. Their owners, managers, boards, investors know this, so why risk the future of your company with lower caliber people with lower caliber degrees, experience, attitudes, etc.? It makes no sense unless you are asking these workers you control to do things you know an American would refuse to do like embed or program spy and surveillance features into these systems to steal data and information so you can sell it for money or offer it to the government to spy on Americans?

It's something like that, there's not enough of them to be a cheap labor or monetary issue .... spread across 120 companies, 65,000?? Nope, that's peanuts. It's something illegal or inappropriate they're asking them to do that they know an American would not only refuse to do but would tell on them. Like what Ed Snowden figured out at NSA and risked his life to tell the American people.

There is no telling what they've used these foreign workers to do to US at this point.

This program must end and end now. Immediately. National Security.

The Myth of H-1B Job Creation

by Michelle Malkin

November 13, 2015

Every day brings new headlines, ignored by the Washington press corps, of U.S. workers losing their livelihoods to cheap H1-B visa replacements.

Just this week, Computerworld reported: “Fury and fear in Ohio as IT jobs go to India.”

Yet, it remains an article of faith among Big Business flacks and Beltway hacks that H-1B not only protects American jobs, but also fuels miraculous job growth.

The myths are recycled and regurgitated by the likes of Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who claims that “foreign-born STEM workers complement the American workforce, they don’t take American jobs.”

Bill Gates, citing the National Foundation for American Policy, which is run by one-man Beltway advocacy research shop operative Stuart Anderson, testified before Congress that “a recent study shows for every H-1B holder that technology companies hire, five additional jobs are created around that person.”

Citing another NFAP study by economics professor Madeline Zavodny of Agnes Scott College, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce asserted: “2.62 MORE JOBS are created for U.S.-born workers for each foreign-born worker in the U.S. with a U.S. STEM graduate degree.”

But even the reliably pro-immigration expansionist Wall Street Journal had to call out Bill Gates on his misleading testimony to Congress regarding oft-cited NFAP job-creation figures. First off, the data set was confined to S&P 500 technology companies, which “excludes the leading users” of H-1B visas — offshore outsourcing companies from India such as Infosys, Wipro and Tata.

Moreover, Carl Bialik, the newspaper’s “Numbers Guy,” reported that the study Gates cited to claim amazing H-1B job generation “shows nothing of the kind. Instead, it finds a positive correlation between these visas and job growth. These visas could be an indicator of broader hiring at the company, rather than the cause.”

University of California, Davis professor Norm Matloff explained that Gates’ false conclusion is a common analytical error known as Simpson’s Paradox, “in which the relation between two variables is very misleading, due to their mutual relation to a third variable.”

NFAP’s Zavodny study was published by the American Enterprise Institute, sponsored by open-borders billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s Partnership for a New American Economy and touted by the open-borders U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the pro-H-1B FWD.us.

Zavodny’s study initially examined data from the years 2000 to 2010. She hypothesized that states with more foreign-born workers would have higher rates of employment among native-born Americans. Initially, she was unable to find a significant effect of foreign-born workers on U.S. jobs.

So what changed? In correspondence with John Miano, co-author of our new book “Sold Out” on the foreign guest-worker racket, and I, Zavodny revealed that when she showed her initial results to the study sponsor, the backers came up with the idea of discarding the last three years of data — ostensibly to eliminate the effects of the economic recession — and trying again.

Voila! After re-crunching the numbers at the sponsor’s request, Zavodny found the effect the study sponsor was hoping to find.

Standard research practice is to formulate a research hypothesis and specify a study sample before the analysis has been completed. The practice of “data dredging” — that is, tweaking the sample data until one gets rid of “anomalous results” — is frowned upon.

To her credit, Zavodny provided her data to a curious software developer in Silicon Valley who was interested in immigration policy. The blogger, R. Davis, discovered a number of serious methodological deficiencies in Zavodny’s work.
Most importantly, he documented that Zavodny’s results are highly sensitive to the date range selected.

When she studied the years 2000-2007, she found 100 foreign-born workers in STEM fields with advanced degrees from U.S. universities were associated with 262 additional jobs for native-born Americans. But change the date range a little bit to 2002-2008, and the exact same regression model shows the destruction of 110 jobs for natives, according to the independent researcher.

Also, Zavodny’s “262 additional jobs” factoid deals not with H-1B visa holders but with foreign-born workers in so-called STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and math) who have advanced degrees (that is, a master’s or doctorate) from U.S. universities. About 45 percent of H-1B visa holders do not have advanced degrees (as noted above), let alone advanced degrees from U.S. universities.

According to public policy professor Ron Hira of Howard University, only 1 in 206 of H-1B workers at offshore outsourcing giant Infosys holds an advanced degree from a U.S. university. Even fewer of Tata Consultancy Services H-1B workers do — just 1 in 222. So there is almost no overlap between the highly educated workers in Zavodny’s “262 additional jobs” analysis and the mostly entry-level workers who actually come to the U.S. on H-1B visas.

While industry lobbyists have to employ dubious and convoluted means to show H-1B creates jobs, it is brutally simple to show that H-1B workers take American jobs. Just ask the folks who trained their H-1B replacements at Disney, Southern California Edison, Toys R Us, Fossil and countless other companies across the nation.

Hey GeorgiaPeach, I think the year of your article date should be 2015, right?

I thought Melania's interview with ABC was very well done. She really is a wonderful person, very smart, very smooth, very confidant, and so pretty. I didn't like the interviewer, I thought he wasted an hour on mostly silly questions, but she handled them very well.

:)

Judy, let me check the date I put. It is 2015. Thank you again.

Judy, I did not like the interview. I thought they placed every bad thing they could in the package about the president and then used the First Lady a few times to contradict comments and policies of President Trump. Immigration matters were highlighted in a negative way and they used her parents to question limiting chain migration.

Melania is lovely and poised. A wonderful First Lady.

Whoever let let her do this was as ignorant as those who gave White House access to Michael Wolfe and others. They may have thought she would gain support from those watching mainstream media.

I thought she handled the questions beautifully, but yes, they were all gotcha questions, still I went away with the feeling that she shined and the interviewer sucked. The trick question on her parents was handled well, there's nothing in Trump's plan to end chain migration that would prevent parents from coming at some point in time on their own, through their own application, separate from the children who may already be here, they would be vetted and approved on their own application and merit for green card. That's what she was trying to convey to the idiot interviewer.

We do not know when they came to the United States or how or under what circumstances. None of that has been revealed, they came here long before Trump was President and received no special treatment.

Yeah, on Cruz, I knew that back in 2015. The right man won the primary and the right man won the general election in 2016. We should all be thankful and grateful. I think Cruz has learned from Trump as have many others. Trump is the one leading on our issue and he'll win, just watch what happens. As I say, "stay tuned"!!

They spend MILLIONS of dollars lobbying...why do they not just spend those millions on American workers and stop destroying this country bringing their overbreeding cheap labor here? It is counterproductive!

TERMINATE THESE VISA PROGRAMS!

WE DO NOT NEED OR WANT THESE PEOPLE HERE!

WE HAVE THOUSANDS DISPLACED AND OUT OF WORK FROM HURRICANES, FIRES, TORNADOS, MUD SLIDES AND FLOODS!
