In practice, Lee’s bill would give Silicon Valley investors the power to grow their low-wage workforce of Indian graduates.
The bill gives CEOs the ability to recruit more workers with the promise of roughly 100,000 green cards a year. This huge subsidy is five times larger than the current allocation of approximately 20,000 green cards for Indians, which has helped the companies recruit a volunteer workforce of roughly 800,000 Indian graduates in the United States.
The current Indian workforce of roughly 800,000 visa workers has sidelined at least one million American graduates — including at least 20,000 voters in Durbin’s Illinois.
The sidelined Americans lost salaries and jobs in a wide variety of careers — in software, math, accounting, engineering, design, healthcare, fashion or business. In time, Indians have expanded their role as managers and recruiters in major cities, so prompting widespread complaints and lawsuits about cheating, favoritism, and discrimination. Americans who leave these careers usually find jobs in other sectors, including journalism. Some excluded professionals have killed themselves, but many more have been forced into lonely retirement.
I called my Republican Jr. Senator who is up for his 2nd round in the Senate and left a message that I would work my butt off to make sure he isn't elected. The dumbshit voted for it when the Bill was introduced the first time. Chaps my ass!
