My piece w DC & Hal Salzman for Jacobin

H-1B labor safeguards are deficient

Cheats both H-1B and US workers
Profoundly distorts labor market

U.S. Department of Labor & USCIS should bolster labor safeguards
Have authority & tools
Clear roadmap provided

There is no 'labor shortage.' There is a shortage of good jobs, good pay, good job conditions. When workers refuse bad jobs, bad pay and poor job conditions, employers whine 'labor shortage.' Don't be fooled.

Kellogg's turn toward using scabs to break strike. This will test whether a resurgent labor movement will win or be repressed. Will labor's allies help? Deep stresses are rising to challenge and change US capitalism. bit.ly/3cp8WL6

A qualified doctor is denied the green card, but a lot of the Indian with less qualification are getting it. This is crqzy

How ‘bout we get #AmericanWorkers into good-paying jobs and on their feet!

Why take taxpayer $$ to pay huge jackpots to border crossers?

My latest article: pro-immigration research papers published by the Cato Institute are not independent, but designed to meet the needs of lobbying clients, according to allegations in a Telegram message obtained by Chronicles Magazine. chroniclesmagazine.org/lobbyist-alleg…

Punishments should be sizable enough to deter future bad behavior. Main Justice fine of $14mm is literally a rounding error to FB’s $86bn in revenue (0.016%).

$9.5 million settlement fund for US workers who were discriminated against is a slap-in-the-face to every US worker.

Long thread on DOJ’s slap-on-the-wrist settlement on @Facebook highly discriminatory employment practices.

Important implications for U.S. Department of Labor Main Justice @EEOC DOL OIG. This is not a case of a one-off bad actor or bit player.

It turns out offshoring supply chains and not being able to produce things in America that Americans need was a monumentally stupid idea

Naturally it had the support of both parties and most think tanks

Shame on Joe Biden for following WTO suggestion that US pharmaceutical cos waive intellectual property protections to turn over COVID vaccine IP to foreign nations.

More #AmericanWorkers training foreign replacements.

EU smartly disagrees w/ waiver

American Doctors are passed over while foreign docs on #H1B and #J1 take their jobs.

President Biden please put American Doctors FIRST for federally funded US Residency.

Multinational Corporations Kept Outsourcing US Jobs in Pandemic

US corps that get PPP, tax breaks & favorable treatment by US government continue to displace #AmericanWorkers ... on backs of US taxpayers

The only “multinational” part is foreign workers breitbart.com/politics/2021/…

Here’s hoping third time’s a charm for #AmericanWorkers group to get court declaration that ⁦Homeland Security⁩ unconstitutionally handed out #H4EAD work permits to #H1B spouses. TY John Miano & ⁦Chris Hajec of Immigration Reform Law Institute⁩

The H-1B program has morphed into a corporate scam to offshore U.S. tech jobs and underpay migrant workers, and previous presidential administrations and Congress have failed to fix it, write Ron Hira and DC. Learn more: epi.org/blog/the-h-1b-…

A big loss for #AmericanWorkers

Of course, it’s not as though they ever stopped the flow of cheap foreign labor. #H1B #H4EAD #L1 #OPT #J1 are used to DISPLACE workers of all backgrounds

Congress must learn this isn’t a Ponzi scheme. America suffers when corps screw citizens.

'Pressured by employees & the press, companies began disclosing demographics. One figure stood out: African Americans, ~ 13% of the US population, made up no more than 1% of tech hires at Google, Facebook & other prominent Silicon Valley companies.'

Be VERY concerned about what is happening to #AmericanWorkers at every level

Congress appears to have delegated to businesses the power to write their own employment policies

Corps are #ProxyGovernment

Corps also knee-cap #STEM grads, replacing with foreign labor #OPT #H1B etc
