The American worker now faces a three-pronged attack. First, DEI policies discriminate against white employees in hiring and promotions. Second, corporations import cheap foreign labour through programs like H-1B visa. Third, when Americans cannot be replaced at home, their jobs are simply shipped abroad to countries like India.
Few companies embody all three trends more clearly than IBM. The tech giant recently agreed to pay $17 million to settle allegations from the U.S. government that it discriminated against employees on the basis of race and sex. Federal authorities alleged the company tied bonuses and hiring decisions to demographic targets and restricted certain opportunities on the basis of identity. At the same time, IBM has relied heavily on imported labour, receiving 32,725 H-1B visa approvals over the past decade according to USCIS data. And increasingly, the company’s future appears rooted outside the United States altogether: under Indian-born CEO Arvind Krishna, IBM now employs roughly a third of its 280,000 workers in India, a figure that may rival, or even surpass, its American headcount.

For folks in America, the paperback version of my book -- on the systemic abuse of the H-1B visa program -- is now available at a much affordable cost of $28. Give it a shot; would love to know what you thought of it: a.co/0aXN8YOz

There should a million white-collar professional workers calling the White House demanding an apology. We are not being “stupid.” We are calling a spade a spade. youtu.be/ePLdWU3nfu4?si…

Watch @SecRubio skirmish with India's gov't over trade. He's far more pro-American than Biden's people, but India demands more migration & #H1B visa jobs in exchange for buying more oil/grain/tech exports from the US. US white-collars need to stand up. bit.ly/42PjDAO

IBM’s CEO created hiring policies to fire white men, and keep them from being promoted.
This disgusting bigot will never been condemned by Tech and VC’s on this site.

"0.4% of the whole workforce". Cute. They don’t scatter, they concentrate. Roughly 1 in 6 software developers is an H-1B.
Mid-layoffs, a worker who’s paid less and legally can’t leave is exactly who survives the cut. Citizens competing for those jobs lose by design.

Yes there is a problem with how H1Bs are abused by some companies. This should be fixed. BUT. The total number of H1Bs is 700K. It’s 0.4% of the US workforce. If you’re saying that 0.4% people took all your jobs you’re wrong. There is 6.87M open unfilled jobs in the US. This is 10x more than there are H1Bs.

"All told, a remarkable two-thirds of the Valley’s nearly 400,000 tech jobs are now held by those born abroad, according to a 2025 report from the think tank Joint Venture Silicon Valley." realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2026/…

“That is a big deal, it’s a positive,” said Kevin Lynn, founder of the U.S. Tech Workers group, which campaigns against the H-1B and other white-collar migration programs.

Trump's deputies are shutting the hidden 'Adjustment of Status' legalization pathway. A big deal b/c it legalizes half of all migrants, incl. many illegals, overstays & cheap visa workers hired into the US. IOW, vr. good news for American families. #H1B bit.ly/4nMKFm7

In a new statement, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesman Zach Kahler suggests that green card applicants in the U.S. who will provide an "economic benefit" or serve the "national interest" will be allowed to complete their processing here, without having to leave.

@USTechWorkers Seems pretty mealy mouthed from an unnamed spox, speaking in generalities and qualified hypotheticals.
English
There are a lot of bad takes circulating about what this USCIS memo actually means. It’s not targeting scientists or doctors pursuing employment-based green cards through the normal legal process.
It’s mostly aimed at aliens who enter on tourist visas, conceal immigration intent, abuse loopholes, or use deceitful tactics to game the system while seeking adjustment of status.
Ted Lieu@tedlieu
Dear @WhiteHouse: Your new stupid Green Card policy will help competitors such as China and Russia. The U.S. will have a significant exodus of top researchers, scientists, and industry leaders in multiple fields, ranging from medicine to technology to advanced manufacturing.

@Arbether The exemptions are coming out as you type this:

@USTechWorkers Still targets the first group, since they don’t exempt dual intent employment visas.

English
@USTechWorkers You obviously did not read it or did not understand it. It does not mention any of the exemptions you claim in your post.
English
@Tomales18 A. F-1 is a non-dual-intent visa, and it’s good that this loophole of self-petitioning for a NIW while on OPT is being closed.
B. Most FMGs arrive on J-1 visas and then transition to an H-1B. It’s a very unusual and uncommon route to use OPT to enter residency.
English
@USTechWorkers It gives a lot discretion to the adjudicator. Common scenario for me is a resident applies for an NIW when they start OPT and have their green card at the end of the residency. That pathway may be gone now. So it does affect doctors and patient care.

@bfin01322150 We sure wish it did.

@USTechWorkers It means the opposite of your original claim that“[it’s] not targeting scientists or doctors pursuing employment-based green cards through the normal legal process.“
English
This is insane levels of cope, holy shit. There’s a memo!
“maintaining lawful status in a dual intent nonimmigrant category is not sufficient, on its own, to warrant
a favorable exercise of discretion”

Major policy change: The Trump administration is making it much harder for immigrants already in the U.S. to get permanent residency, or a green card, without having to leave the country. More on @CBSNews: cbsnews.com/news/trump-gre…

@bfin01322150 What do you think that quoted text implies?
English
@USTechWorkers I quoted the text of the official memo and you’re sending me a post by someone who is saying there “may” be exemptions according to an unnamed spokesperson.

News: USCIS' touted new policy on requiring green card seekers to go overseas to apply may end up with some fairly broad exemptions. Here's what a spox told me when I asked about H1-B holders:
“After years of ignoring the intent of Congress in the adjustment of status application, USCIS is merely restating and reasserting that intent. While we work to operationalize this, people who present applications that provide an economic benefit or otherwise are in the national interest will likely be able to continue on their current path while others may be asked to apply abroad depending on individualized circumstances.”

@USTechWorkers @JoshuaEbner No, that is not what it is simply saying. Look at USCIS and DHS tweets. Read what the memo says about availability of consular processing.
