I saw a post months ago about a Raytheon engineer who was complaining that they couldn’t fill hardware jobs. I thought they were lying, so I went to their LinkedIn. I expected to see 100’s of applications for every job, but I saw 3. That's when I realized that we’ve offshored the entire industry to China. Not defense, but all of the tertiary industries that would train people who would eventually work in defense. Training for defense does not happen in the defense industry. It happens in companies all across America. If you offshore those, you will eventually starve the defense industry of the manpower it needs. This isn’t the 50’s where people stayed at companies forever. People move. If they can’t get the same jobs elsewhere, especially smart people, they transition to the civilian roles that are available and we lose the talent we need. Once I noticed it, it was impossible to not see it, and it's happening across many sectors - from embedded systems to mechanical tooling. And now, the IT industry. It's almost identical to what happened to the construction industry in the 80's. My grandfather worked for $25/hr in California in the late 70's and early 80's. By the mid 90's, I was lucky to get $10. Congress isn't smart enough to notice the problem until it's too late. @SenMikeLee is a prime example of this. He pushed H1Bs for decades, and now that the damage is done, he's calling for a "pause." It's a slow unremitting, and inexorable disaster for the US, and I will shout it from the rooftops until somebody listens. Not that I ever expect anybody to listen. I don't think most people can even see it when it's explained to them.

We’re literally getting robbed blind by every third-world shithole nation on Earth and the fraud never stops. Time to END the H-1B visa program once and for all and DEPORT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. No more replacement, no more scams, no more bullshit!! REMIGRATION NOW!

If I stay home and raise my own children I am a loser and not ambitious But if I hire and pay another woman to raise and take care of my children for me than I am an empowered woman If that same woman stayed home with her children she would be a loser But if she takes care of my children she is not If we both switched and raised each others children for a paycheck we would be successful ambitious girl bosses But if we do it for our own children we are losers

Widespread H1B fraud makes you wonder how many of the 730,000 are scams 🤔

Donald Trump didn't stop the invasion of America's borders. He just opened up another gate.

@ky_statesman There are folks in the states that are white effected by H-1B and foreign remote workers. They use to work for companies in those other states as remote workers

The Indian scams in Texas will most likely surpass the Somalis in Minnesota. But let's keep importing them because they have to teach us Americans how to live, right? @realDonaldTrump @JohnCornyn

Most people think leaving is failure. I used to believe that too. Right up until the night a twenty-three-year-old walked into my ER, and I realized I could no longer be a part of what I was watching. The previously healthy young woman came in unable to speak clearly, with sudden weakness on one side of her body. Textbook stroke - but obviously it had to be something else, because she was twenty-three. Advanced imaging showed multiple small strokes. Some fresh. Some hours old, maybe days. Nothing in her history explained it - except one thing. A pharmaceutical product her university had mandated before she could start the semester. One week earlier. I could diagnose her. Stabilize her. Get neurology involved. But none of that would touch why it was allowed to happen in the first place. I couldn't even document it properly. No diagnostic code existed for what I was looking at. She wouldn't become a statistic. There would be no accountability. It was almost as if it never happened at all. That's how it works. We don't just harm people. We make the harm invisible. A few months later, I left. Not because I stopped caring. Because I finally understood that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is loudly refuse to participate in the dysfunction. I'm not the only one who's come to that conclusion. I wrote about what that costs - and what we owe the people willing to pay it. @RWMaloneMD

FU*KS!!!

This was actually a well-done documentary exposing the H-1B visa scam plaguing northern Dallas, Texas. They even found a 7-Eleven worker who said he’s working at the store on an H-1B, something you’re told never happens. But what really stood out in this documentary was the level of immigration fraud exposed on camera—from student visas used for unlawful off-campus work, to body shops filing petitions for nonexistent workers, to a visa holder claiming he paid for a sham marriage to obtain a green card. It seems that @USCIS is less interested in prosecuting this kind of fraud. As Tyler pointed out, there appears to be a lack of interest in worksite visits by federal authorities, even after this H-1B fraud has become a significant issue and has been exposed by other independent reporters (see @SaraGonzalesTX’s investigation). The reason you’re not seeing the feds move quickly to investigate this fraud in Texas, like they did when @nickshirleyy exposed the Somali daycare fraud in Minnesota, is probably because, unlike that case, which involved defrauding the government and taxpayers out of billions of dollars, H-1B fraud is largely limited to gaming the immigration system to obtain a benefit, along with profiting from wage arbitrage and, in some cases, bribes tied to visa sponsorship. Big Tech is one of the most powerful lobbies, and this administration has become quite aligned with it. A tacit deal seems to have emerged: allow Trump to deport illegal aliens and crack down on categories of migrants that don’t affect the tech labor pool, while leaving the pipeline that benefits tech companies largely untouched. The few H-1B rule changes that have been introduced are unlikely to significantly impact Silicon Valley firms. This may also help explain why Obama-era work authorization programs like H-4 EAD and STEM OPT have not been rescinded by this administration, even though these programs contribute to fraud as seen explicitly in the documentary. Another factor is that state-level welfare fraud tends to be concentrated in Democratic states, making it easier to weaponize politically by the current administration since it reflects poorly on Democratic leadership. Texas, by contrast, is a red state, and its governor is a Republican who has also traveled to India to promote the expansion of the IT outsourcing industry in Texas. You’re unlikely to see Republican leadership calling out Governor Abbott anytime soon for allowing this kind of fraud to take root in his state.

Think 🤔…

Applying to jobs is now a full-time job. Hundreds of applications. Hours of forms. Multiple interviews. All for silence. Not rejection. Silence.

Please repost. Nobody knows this, not even RFK Jr. First autistic child diagnosed in 1932. Guess when aluminum was FIRST added to vaccines? Yup, in 1932, *before* the first case. What a coincidence!

The gall of @CBSEveningNews running PR for the H-1B program while tech companies are replacing and laying off American workers en masse.

Maysville, Kentucky residents being kicked out to make room for a Data Center “It's a community made up of mostly elderly people and people with disabilities in a trailer park. Now those families are being told they need to make way for a massive data center. The notice came this weekend for 28 mobile homeowners” “For the past several months about an unnamed AI firm that began offering landowners in Mason County up to 10 times what their land is worth — That purchaser is an unnamed AI company that is attempting to put a 2000 acre hyperscale data center complex near Maysville.”

Amen 🙏

90,000 tech workers laid off in 2026. We're 95 days in. That's 963 people per day. Oracle let go of 30,000 in a single email. Sent at 6 AM. Signed by 'Oracle Leadership'. No name. Amazon cut 16,000. Revenue last year: $717 billion. These aren't struggling companies. They're profitable. This isn't a recession. It's a replacement.

@GigaBasedDad You know they are...

Really makes you think

Nothing to see here @potus @vp, but u were hired on AMERICAFIRST and dont see what is happening? WE DONT OWE INDIA A DAMN THING. They sided w Russia after US handed them thousands of jobs! @senmullin HALT H1b
