We've updated our fact sheet on the H-1B and L-1 visa programs. As the fact sheet explains, these programs must be reformed so that they work for U.S. professionals and people working on the visas, not just employers. Check out the fact sheet here: dpeaflcio.org/factsheets/gue…

Devastating investigation of the H1B->green card system, the US uses a totally fake verification system with no effort to prevent foreign workers from taking jobs that could have gone to Americans propublica.org/article/trump-…

Important piece by Alec MacGillis on employers brazenly bypassing US workers to convert H-1B workers to greencards Violating the law in plain sight with U.S. Department of Labor's approval Widespread practice undermines the premise & legitimacy that employer-based immigration fills labor shortages

Every Sunday, newspapers across the U.S. are full of listings for tech jobs, with posted salaries sometimes exceeding $150K. But many of them are being posted only as part of a requirement for getting permanent residency for foreign workers. propublica.org/article/trump-…

Under Part 656 of Title 20 in the Code of Federal Regulations, no Green Cards can be granted if there are available qualified Americans. Employers make a mockery of the law and the U.S. government signs off on it.

The system also doesn’t work for many foreign workers: Even after their permanent-residency applications are approved, they typically must wait more than 10 years for green cards, leaving them at the mercy of their employers. propublica.org/article/trump-…

US Grads are undercut by H-1B & OPT but Trump admin hasn't fixed them No labor shortages It’s a bad time to be a job seeker—especially if you are young wsj.com/economy/jobs/j… via The Wall Street Journal Graduates who flocked to fields such as computer science now have far more competition

Awesome speaking to American Moment fellows Great dialogue about skilled immigration: H-1B visas, OPT, and PERM labor certification And the complete failure of the government to do its job to fix the scandalous programs that undercut American workers and exploit guestworkers.
