Straight From the Horse’s Mouth - It’s about Cheap Labor

Straight From the Horse's Mouth

If you can find high-quality talent at a third of the price, it’s not too hard to see why you’d do this

says EDS chairman Ron Rittenmeyer.

So much for the talk of domestic shortages of engineers. EDS has shifted literally tens of thousands of jobs overseas.

EDS owns the India-based offshore outsourcing firm, MPhasis, which uses the H-1B & L-1 visa programs to facilitate this transfer.

WashTech, a local of the CWA (AFL-CIO) has an action item to demand the extension of student worker Visas be set back to it’s original.

If you are a Professional worker and have your own personal horror story on wage arbitrage, displacement through insourcing and/or offshore outsourcing, may we request you join Hire Americans First and add your story so the facts of how guest worker Visas are used to displace US Professionals cannot be dismissed.

For your viewing pleasure, another group has made a series of you tube videos worth watching:

Finally Ex-startup CEO turned Academic Vivek Wadhwa also agrees we should get rid of the lottery on the H-1B Visa program. But we should not allow any increases in H-1B or the creation of an F-4 Visa and instead pass S.1035.

Per my last blog post, DHS Illegally Changes Rule to Increase Foreign Guest Workers, please leave a comment to tell DHS how illegal, inaccurate and wrong the OPT extension is.
