@ifspp we bring together civic minded people to advocate on behalf of American workers harmed by employment visa programs & demand Congress enact reforms.

A good time to also remember that OPT was implemented by regulation, subverting the will of Congress. There are now more than half a million OPT “students” in the workforce competing with recent graduates. #protectwages #protectjobs
The H-1B program was never wanted or needed. It was created in 1990 based on a faulty NSF study that was never made public and falsely predicted a shortage of engineers. Scientists who testified before Congress tore it apart, and even the NSF admitted it was flawed. Yet heavy

i think this is probably basically correct and we're screwing an entire generation of americans
So what does this have to do with skilled immigration? Training is way cheaper in poorer countries. So firms in India become good at taking grads, quickly upskilling them, and sending them to the West, where they're better than Western grads (though not experienced Westerners).

Rosemary Jenks says a full visa moratorium and major H1B reform are coming any day now. She’s leading the charge to put American workers first and end the cheap labor pipeline that’s gutting opportunity for young Americans. @I_A_Project

There was never a STEM shortage in America. In 1987, Peter House wrote a paper that was never published or peer reviewed that "projected" a shortage of 675k STEM graduated over the next 20 years. His method? "House drew an imaginary line from the record high level of

The Immigration Act of 1990, which greatly increased skilled immigration to the US (in part by creating the H-1B visa), led native-born Americans to shift out of STEM and into marketing and management, thus de-skilling the native-born American workforce.

This thesis has implications. First, mass skilled immigration causes skill shortages because skills are endogenous (if you parachute in skilled outsiders skilled are not developed domestically). Second, higher ed investment should be replaced with subsidizing entry-level jobs.
This creates a feedback loop where Western firms get away with never training anyone, which in turn causes actual skill shortages domestically, which is used to lobby for more immigration and so on. Australia is the extreme example of this.

Good question. Due to the way the H-1B visa was designed, an employer can skip the need to look for an American before creating a petition (labor condition application) for a foreign worker. However, when the employer sponsors that H-1B worker for a Green Card, they must perform

End STEM OPT and go after the companies, especially during the PERM process, that are playing fast and loose with the rules. Truth be told, the H-1B Visa isn't so much being abused as it is working exactly the way it was designed, which is to displace skilled American workers.
Young Americans have had the American Dream stolen from them, as jobs have been replaced by foreign workers due to rampant abuse of the H-1B visa. Under @POTUS and @SecretaryLCD’s leadership, we’re holding companies accountable for their abuse—and recapturing the American Dream

That would be the O visa, not H1B.

Senator, it's not AI. Employment visa programs like H-1B and L-1 Visa along with work authorization programs like STEM OPT have been displacing millions of American workers since 1990, the year before you started in the House of Representatives. But you can still do something
We cannot allow AI and robotics to simply wipe out millions of decent-paying jobs. This new technology must benefit workers — not just Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and the other tech billionaires and CEOs of large corporations.
