Obama & McCain on Professional Workers - Bottom Line American Workers, YOU’RE SCREWED!

November 1st, 2008 · 5 Comments

There have been many misinformation posts on Barack Obama and John McCain on H-1B and F-4 Visas.  Bottom line American workers, you are royally screwed by both candidates

John McCain wants to increase H-1B Visas.  So does Barack Obama.  Think either of them are putting U.S. workers first?  Think again!  Neither of them will even co-sponsor S.1035, the reforms for H-1B.  L-1.    Never even crosses their lips!

Both McCain and Obama issue corporate lobbyist talking points that have no basis in economic reality, completely ignoring the brain drain for the United States. When U.S. workers. U.S. professionals become underemployed, labor arbitraged with all of that skill and talent sitting idle, America further inches towards third world status by refusing to invest in it’s people and build up expertise from it’s own citizenry.

Even worse, the F-4 Visa, is a dangerous agenda for it tries to turn our entire educational system into a glorified green card machine. Imagine what will happen if Americans are forced to compete to even gain entry into our education system against the world’s population. That is indeed was is proposed and both candidates endorse it. As usual, both candidates put U.S. citizens last. Both candidates endorse global labor arbitrage, make no mistake.

A USCIS report, H-1B Benefit Fraud & Compliance Assessment,  shows 21%, that is 1 in 5 H-1B Visas are fraudulent, or at minimum broke the rules.  That does not even cover the many legal ways to subvert the program, displace U.S. citizens from their jobs and pay workers much less. 

Computer World:

An internal report by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) examining the H-1B visa program has found evidence of forged documents and fake degrees, and even shell companies giving addresses of fake locations

Business Week interviewed outsourcing expert Dr. Ron Hira:

“We shouldn’t forget that the major problem with the H-1B program are caused by massive loopholes that allow firms to legally pay below-market wages and force US workers to train foreign replacements,” says Hira. “Those wouldn’t show up in this investigation because they are entirely legal.” Hira says that a bill proposed by Grassley and Senator Dick Durbin’s (D-Ill.) bill in 2007, S. 1035, would address both fraud and legal loopholes in the program.

Hira continues:

“I’m stunned by the high incidence, nearly one in five, of obvious fraud and serious violations in H1-B visas. That means that literally tens of thousands…
