Maga Ranks Have Been Rankled by the Work Visa (H-1B) Controversy

Patriots are concerned that the H-1B work visas allow foreigners, pointedly of the Eastern Asian variety, may be brought in to fill what should be American jobs. The Trump working classes are dismayed because they believed making America Great Again meant they were going to get their good-paying jobs back. American corporations, universities and non-profits like H-1B visa workers for several reasons. These visa recipients are treated as sort of indentured servants. They’re paid less than the average rate and are tied to a specific employer, and they can’t file discrimination complaints over it. The case for the visas is fraudulent. The claim is that America’s universities can’t produce enough graduates to meet our needs for highly skilled talent forcing the US to rely on the third world vice our prestigious and prodigious universities to supply our needs. The difference between US wage levels and H-1B wage levels goes into corporate profits and the notoriously highly inflated and ludicrous “performance bonuses.”

Maybe they have the cart before the horse. Americans may not be studying for high-tech careers because they know by now that the jobs will go to foreigners. These visas are also sought by foreign students studying in America because it leads to ways of staying in the country. After the visa expires, the H-1B holders can apply for a green card or permanent residence. After a 10-year period, it has come to 850,000 foreigners brought into the US to take American jobs; thus some American occupations are being de-Americanized. The program is also used to fill DEI quotas for graduate students seeking a Ph.D. degree at universities. Students can have the same professors at Harvard as they would if they would if they went to India. There is another type of visa, the L-1 visa, that allows multinational companies to bring foreign employees into the US for training. That visa is good for 7 years, and there again there are loopholes that allow the employee to stay here. Over a recent 10 year period, 1.5 million of these L-1 visas were issued, while employment of Americans as noted above, stayed steady. The RINOs and democrats slight Americans while their compensation and retirement benefits as politicos are not “slight,” and the money they save employing foreigners is comparatively slight in comparison. Meanwhile, Trump and Musk being big businessmen may think of greatness in terms of profit although that is not always the case. If profits can be increased generally, they could probably deem themselves successes at making America great again at least with regard to domestic production that flags against nations like China. Unless the nature of the economy drastically changes, nearly all that profit would go to the 1%.

On the other hand, how can a country in which the people have no real voice and the most important issues are not discussed be great? The main issue with these visas is their very existence and not the numbers receiving them although their numbers are really adding up over time, and their utilization really does a number on Americans culturally as well as economically. The prospects of especially younger native-born Americans are not great. The MAGAs realize the country’s racial and cultural character are in play and the numbers games the politicos are playing directly affects that character. The US is being transformed into a Tower of Babel instead of a tower of strength with an economy dependent on cheap foreign labor for is existence, let alone profits.

Still, it is also very necessary for Americans to realize that, especially with our younger citizens, productivity and excellence have been abandoned in their ongoing concern for “social justice” and especially “equity,” a concept that means not an equality of opportunity, but of result, something that seriously handicaps the more intelligent and hard working. It is hard to fill lists of necessarily intelligent, productive and hard working “employees” with the present generation whom we now realize can hardly hold an ordinary “job!” Indeed, employers are reporting that they are not hiring Generation Z (1997-2012) employees and are often releasing those that they have hired! They complain that these “workers” are just not able to function in the commercial world being altogether self-involved and woefully ignorant of anything valuable to most employers! This goes a long way in explaining why men like Trump and Musk find it hard to “open the economy” to people who have, in the majority, embraced the very things that gave us Obama-Biden and the whole WOKE culture! We must be careful not to place all the blame in one basket!
