My stepfather was part of the Verizon layoffs several months ago after 10 years. He’s a data scientist. He’s applied everywhere. He can’t find work. He has a Master’s from Fordham University. This is exactly the kind of person we’re told the economy is built for. Educated. Experienced. Proven. And yet, he’s being passed over. While we’re told there’s a “shortage” of qualified workers. There isn’t a shortage. There’s a system that would rather replace Americans than invest in them. And people like him are paying the price.

DHS Secretary Mullin: “We want legal immigration. We’re a nation of immigrants.”

JD Vance: "People don’t have any idea how bad the corruption is in Washington DC"

🚨 JD Vance just highlighted the MASSIVE reduction in H-1B visas and FAKE asylum claims under the Trump admin "The number of new H-1B visas is down about **90%** in the United States of America." "That's something we accomplished PURELY through administrative action." "If you came in on a fraudulent asylum claim, you are an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT!" SEND THEM ALL BACK!

NOW: Six House Republicans joined Democrats to advance Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s bill to give Haitians in the U.S. Temporary Protected Status for three years. The measure passed 219–209 and now moves to a final House vote tomorrow.

Offshoring of white collar jobs is so pervasive that North Americans are now offshoring themselves. It worked for this guy.

Had a fun day today. 2 weeks ago an Indian (US Citizen) IT employee called ICE on his own department because he heard that many of them were here on fake H1-B Visas. 25 employees were arrested out of 100ish. He was correct. After talking to his leadership he also informed them that many here legally,but we're hired under false pretenses, because they had bought diplomas in India and never really got a degree. At this point management was worried they had been defrauded so they called me up to help them figure it out. We ran all of the remaining employees hiring paperwork through some AI analytics today. Massive amounts of documents. This included reading copies of diplomas, and and a ton of other personal documents. Training the AI analytics tool to look for irregularities in past work experience and education history. As an example: 1.) Check to see if the school exists 2.) Check to see if the person who signed the diploma actually worked at the university 3.) check to see if the degree listed is actually taught at that university 4.) ETC ETC ETC. We found that of the remaining 75 H1-b employees 50 of them had provided fake diplomas to either our company directly, or the contracting company they were hired through. So out of this one department of 250 people, 100 ish were from India here on visas, and 75 of them had defrauded the company during the hiring process. Either providing fake visa paperwork or falsification of education. Basically 75% lied. Not sure what they are going to do about it yet, as across the IT organization they have 1500 ish H1-B visa employees and they cannot fire 75% of them right now even if they wanted to, but I do know they are running all current visa employees records through the tool, any new applicants as well, and will be firing anyone who lied as soon as they get replacement in line for them. From the leadership I was working with: "We have to remove them, we cannot keep employees who defraud the company even if they are good and cheap"
