2019: that job cannot be done remote. 2020: that job has to be done remote and it is actually capable of being done remote. 2021 (+): the job can be done remote so we are offshoring it to save on labor costs. We need to prevent this huge problem now.

🚨"There's what I call an H-1B visa industrial complex... worth tens of billions of dollars of easy profits through wage arbitrage." @RonHira joins LEVER TIME to discuss how both foreign and American workers lose out when firms exploit H-1B visas👇

The function of H-1B has not been to employ the "best and the brightest," but to replace American workers with lower-paid workers from abroad who often live as indentured servants. The cheaper it is to hire guest workers, the more money billionaire owners of large corporations.

Court documents show that the congressman himself requested staffers write letters about the woman’s job performance after he fired her.

Here is the language hidden in the Dems' bill that paves the way for unlimited foreign workers for #BigTech. By eliminating green card numerical caps that protect American jobs/wages, Democrats will reduce STEM opportunities for Americans for decades. cc: @SenSanders

Sanders and Democrats favor #BigTech & corporate lobbyists over American workers and their wages. Don't believe me? Look at the radical provisions hidden in their tax-and-spend spree that I’ve written @SenSanders about.

CEO pay 1965: $951,000 Now: $24,194,000 Worker pay 1965: $43,200 Now: $61,200 Half the workers have been convinced that they're poor because of "China." Well, the CEO offshored your job to save money and get a bonus.

Senator @ChuckGrassley and I are calling on DHS to expeditiously implement an agency rule to reform the allocation of new H-1B visas to help protect American workers from displacement and migrant workers from exploitation.

#H1B workers make up 22% of software developers, according to the DOL's new wage rule. Developers are the largest part of the #IT workforce.

This double standard plagues media coverage of many worker issues including H-1B and offshoring. Companies are treated with kid gloves while workers face skepticism by journalists Workers are coerced into signing non-disparagement agreements so face harm if outed

I truly care about immigration issues and the workers affected by the issues. We must continue to speak out and educate America and the government about the real issues of immigration. Who else is willing to press on for change?

My paper w/ @costadaniel on #H1B visas and wage levels ranked number 3 in top most read EPI @EconomicPolicy reports in 2020 A majority of H-1B employers—including major U.S. tech firms—use the program to pay migrant workers well below market wages https://t.co/Rh7llLbi3I
