@USTechWorkers @JDVance JD Vance warned: In 20 years, a Dem president will try to undo all our immigration wins on H-1B and asylum fraud. Executive fixes are temporary. To fix it forever: Congress must codify permanent merit-based, fraud-proof reforms that put American workers first. Demand it now. 🇺🇸

A couple of influencers on here are circulating a misread of a new Cato Institute analysis on X, and unfortunately the VP @JDVance appears to have picked it up and shared the same incorrect stat. Cato estimates a ~90% drop in **overseas** H-1B petitions (largely from outsourcing firms sponsoring workers located outside the U.S.). This is being misrepresented as a 90% drop in total NEW H-1B visa issuances by @USCIS, which isn’t correct. The cap is still fully exhausted and has consistently reached the 85,000 statutory limit in recent years, and @USCIS has recently announced that this year’s lottery registrations met the cap. This points to a reshuffling of recipients rather than an actual reduction in total numbers. That distinction matters because treating this as a major cut overstates progress and reduces the urgency for meaningful reform. The changes so far are largely cosmetic and mainly shift visas toward international students already in the U.S. and large firms like Google and Amazon, without meaningfully improving opportunities for recent graduates overall. More substantive reforms, such as ending STEM-OPT (3-yr work authorization for international students) and H-4 EAD (work authorization for spouses of H-1Bs) can be done through rulemaking since they were created administratively. Time is of the essence. These steps should have been underway already, since rulemaking takes a very long time. There is still an opportunity to get them done, but inaccurate claims like this distract from the urgency of acting.

@SanDiegoKnight @MeanHash H-1B fraud — fake resumes, fake degrees, shady outsourcing — is displacing our workers. 30% whistleblower rewards are real. Report fraud legally, make money, and help Make America Stronger Forever. Americans First. Real skills. Fair jobs. Protect our nation. Build it stronger.

Insane numbers from @MeanHash — 75% fraud rate on H-1B + fake degrees in one IT department… and leadership says they can’t fire them all at once? How deep does this go across corporate America?

@NewsHour @ElizLanders @David_J_Bier Cato Institute pushes "studies" claiming illegal immigration cuts deficits and lowers crime. Critics say: flawed data, ignores real costs, hides impacts on US workers & budgets.PBS happily amplifies it — why the fuel for open-border spin? Time for honest numbers. Secure.USA First

President Trump often touts a sharp drop in illegal entries to the U.S., but a study from the Cato Institute shows legal immigration has fallen even more dramatically, with 132,000 fewer people being admitted per month through legal pathways. @ElizLanders speaks to @David_J_Bier for more.

#WATCH | On H1-B visa, US Vice President JD Vance says, "... On one hand, there is a lot of fraud in the H1-B system and on the other hand, there are people who came in and enriched the country, like my in-laws... One of the obligations of such citizens is that they must think about the country and not the country or group they came from... The system works only when everyone thinks of themselves as Americans..." (Source: White House)

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"

What happened with TCS Nashik is a reminder for everyone ‼️ Don’t ignore or normalize abuse, ever. There are people in positions of power who misuse access, influence, and silence to target others, especially women. It doesn’t always look obvious… sometimes it’s subtle, systematic, and hidden behind the work scenes. These things are happening more and more not only with work places, but even in normal lives, in politics, in religion - it’s important to call it out. Because the moment we stay quiet, it stops being an individual problem and becomes a system.

@pareekhjain Tata Legacy Shift: Parsi roots now in South Indian hands under N. Chandrasekaran. Internal Tata Trusts rifts (Parsi vs non-Parsi trustees) highlight old power battles. Air India struggles with losses & ops woes. TCS hit by repeated US discrimination lawsuits.

Is TCS becoming too big to manage? TCS is the largest private sector employer in India with near 5.85 Lac employees. And it is constantly in the news for negative reasons in the last couple of years. Do TCS leaders know what is happening on the ground? Is there a case for breaking up TCS into smaller units, the way IBM was divided earlier, for better management oversight?

THIS GOES BEYOND NASHIK, TCS. IT'S A PATTERN. The very tolerance that defines a democracy can, if unchecked, be used against it. SO WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE DEEPER QUESTIONS, THE MORE UNCOMFORTABLE THE BETTER. What NASHIK case exposes, just like AJMER did is not just crime but a pattern where belief is weaponised through grooming and deception. A secular democracy cannot allow faith to become a tool of coercion. Hindu tradition is a univeral truth. Hindus don't convert. But it is up against aggressive proselytisation that blurs the line between consent and exploitation. India already has anti-conversion laws. They exist. And yet cases like this keep surfacing. Which raises a blunt question. Are these laws failing, or are they inherently incapable of policing intent and coercion? Besides laws don't change mindsets. So the debate must now move beyond law to first principles. Can coercive or induced conversion ever be cleanly regulated? Or does the very act of proselytisation in vulnerable settings create conditions for misuse? Can a society that permits conversion also guarantee that it remains truly voluntary? Liberals may resist the question. They will chaffe and troll. But what is the alternative? And is the current model strengthening social harmony or steadily eroding trust in a plural society?

@JobsNowPR Looks like by attorney, creating space for H1B . To prove in future no Americans available.

Labcorp is advertising this senior QA analyst job in North Carolina in the Charlotte Observer Why are the applications only by email? Is this a PERM labor market test they are not really recruiting for?

@CaliburxZero Agreed. But it’s a start

🚨 DOJ just slapped another H-1B body shop with a $313K settlement Compunnel Software Group posted 50+ LinkedIn ads that literally said “H-1B visa only” — openly rejecting U.S. citizens and green card holders. Result: • $58K back pay to an American Python developer they screwed over • $255K civil penalty This is the **9th settlement** under DOJ’s Protecting U.S. Workers Initiative. Body shops flood the H-1B lottery and discriminate against Americans… and the system still lets it happen. When does this end? americanbazaaronline.com/2026/04/09/doj…

@EricLDaugh So it's heavily impact on H1b community. In many Telugu-speaking families from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, cross-cousin marriage is a traditional practice. This means marrying your mother's brother's daughter or father's sister's daughter (called "bava" or "vadina" relations).

🚨 BREAKING: After cracking down on Sharia Law, Gov. Ron DeSantis is moving to BAN the common Islamic practice of marrying a first cousin “Florida needs to get with the program. It's part of cultures that are antithetical to American values!” DO IT!

@gothburz Are you willing to go India with Indian pay? I think you should do that , set example. Generations will proud on you. 🇺🇸

@mkypat 12,000 of the 30,000 were already in India. I mentioned that in the post. India does not require WARN notices. The jurisdictional planning was on slide 6. You are describing slide 6.

I am the Senior Vice President of Human Resources at Oracle Corporation. Last Tuesday, I sent an email to 30,000 people at 6 AM. Yesterday morning, I onboarded 1 person at $950,000 a year. Both were my responsibility. Both were executed flawlessly. The email said: "After careful consideration of Oracle's current business needs, we have made the decision to eliminate your role as part of a broader organizational change. As a result, today is your last working day." I signed it "Oracle Leadership." Not my name. Not the co-CEOs' names. Not anyone's name. Leadership. Leadership is a signature that cannot be fired. At 6:01 AM, our infrastructure team disabled 30,000 badges. Revoked 30,000 VPN tokens. Locked 30,000 laptops. Wiped 30,000 voicemails. Suspended 30,000 email accounts. By 6:04 AM, 30,000 people were staring at a login screen that would never accept their password again. The email reminded them they were "prohibited from downloading, copying, or retaining any Oracle confidential information." 3 people called the HR hotline before 6:15. 2 asked if the email was real. 1 asked if she could retrieve a photo of her daughter from her desktop. I directed all 3 to the separation portal. That's data security. I've managed 11 separation events. This was the cleanest. 30,000 endpoints terminated in under 4 minutes. I sent the email from a template in PeopleSoft called TERM_MASS_COMM_v4. The v4 is important. Version 1 had a paragraph that said "we value your contributions." Version 2 shortened it to a sentence. Version 3 shortened it to "thank you." Version 4 removed it entirely. Legal flagged it in 2024. You cannot say you valued something you are discarding at 6 AM. Liability exposure. That's risk management. The co-CEOs approved the plan in 11 minutes. I timed it. I always time approvals. Clay Magouyrk and Mike Sicilia. They received $250 million and $100 million in stock option grants when they took the roles in September. They asked about the WARN Act filing timeline. They asked about the restructuring charge projection. They did not ask how the employees would be notified. They did not ask when. That's executive alignment. In January, TD Cowen published an analyst note. It said cutting 20,000 to 30,000 employees would generate $8 to $10 billion in incremental free cash flow. We needed that cash. Our AI data center capital expenditures are projected at $50 billion this fiscal year. We had a $20 billion shortfall. The 30,000 people were the shortfall. I don't call it that in the board deck. Slide 14 has a waterfall chart. The left column is labeled "Current Headcount Cost." The right column is labeled "Redeployable Capital." The 30,000 people are the bridge between the 2 columns. They are a blue arrow. Calibri 11pt. That's strategic planning. 1 day before the email, on Monday, our 5-year credit default swaps hit 198.6 basis points. That is the highest level in Oracle's history. Higher than December 2008. Higher than the financial crisis itself. The market is pricing our debt at levels not seen since Lehman Brothers still had a lobby. We carry $124.7 billion in debt on the books. We added $39 billion in 9 months. Our trailing free cash flow is negative $24.74 billion. I included this in the board deck on slide 3. Nobody discusses slide 3. Slide 3 is where we put the things that are true. That's transparency. By Thursday, the H-1B data reached the press. 3,126 petitions. We filed them while scheduling the separation event. Same department. Same quarter. Same PeopleSoft instance. The termination workflow is TERM_MASS_COMM_v4. The visa sponsorship workflow is ONBOARD_H1B_STD. They share a database. They share a help desk queue. They share a budget line. 1 workflow removes 30,000 people who built the cloud infrastructure. The other sponsors 3,000 replacements to continue building it. I manage both workflows from the same standing desk. That's human resources. An employee posted on Blind that it was "a slap in the face." I know which employee. We have analytics on Blind. Sentiment tracking, attribution modeling, post velocity. His post received 4,200 upvotes in 12 hours. I flagged it for Corporate Communications. Communications sent me a thumbs-up emoji. Nobody drafted a response. That's stakeholder management. Yesterday morning, Hilary Maxson started as our new Chief Financial Officer. Base salary: $950,000. Annual performance bonus target: $2.5 million. Equity package: $26 million — $20.8 million time-based, $5.2 million performance-based, vesting over 4 years. We are also covering up to $250,000 in relocation expenses. Her offer letter is 7 pages. The separation notice I sent 30,000 people is 4 paragraphs. I managed both documents. The compensation committee approved her package on the same call where we reviewed the $2.1 billion restructuring charge. We have recorded $982 million of that charge so far. That is what 30,000 people cost on a balance sheet. The CFO's equity package is 1.2% of the restructuring line. A rounding error. No — less than a rounding error. A rounding error's rounding error. That's market-competitive compensation. Our Slack user count dropped from 165,000 to 155,000 in a single day. If you have access to the admin panel, you can watch the number fall in real time. I have access. It drops fast between 6:04 and 6:11 AM. Then it slows. Stragglers. People who hadn't opened their laptops yet. People in Pacific Time who were still sleeping when their career ended. By 7:00 AM, the line flattens. I watched it from my standing desk with a coffee. The line goes down smoothly. No bumps. No steps. Just a slope. That's attrition analytics. In Kansas City, I filed WARN notices for 539 people. 85 software developers. 43 systems analysts. 39 program managers. In Washington, 491 people. 270 software developers. 46 development managers. These are the people who built Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. We are now spending $50 billion to expand it with different people on ONBOARD_H1B_STD. The WARN filing lists the separation date as June 1. The email said today is their last working day. The badge stopped working at 6:01 AM. 3 different dates for the same event. That's compliance. 12,000 of the 30,000 were in India. Bangalore. Hyderabad. Pune. India does not require WARN notices. This is not why 12,000 of them were in India. But it is why nobody has to file anything. That's jurisdictional planning. The quarterly earnings call was March 10. 21 days before the email. The co-CEOs announced $553 billion in remaining performance obligations. They said demand for AI infrastructure "continues to exceed supply." The analysts upgraded their estimates. The stock is down 57% from its peak. It was $326 in September. It is $146 today. Larry Ellison's net worth is $188.7 billion. He has not made a public statement about the layoffs. He has not been asked to. That's governance. Trust in the Q4 engagement survey dropped 34 points. I reported it under "Culture Health Metrics." My manager said the numbers were "expected for a rebalancing of this scale." She told me to revisit it next quarter. I will revisit it next quarter. By then the Slack count will have stabilized. The Blind posts will have cycled off the front page. The ONBOARD_H1B_STD workflows will have completed. The new CFO will have her equity vesting schedule configured in PeopleSoft. And the 30,000 will be on LinkedIn, adding "open to work" above the Oracle logo they can no longer access. I will be here. At my standing desk. Managing the workflows. 30,000 separation emails sent at 6:00 AM. 3,126 H-1B petitions filed the same quarter. $26 million in equity for the new CFO. $350 million in stock options for the 2 co-CEOs. $188.7 billion in personal wealth for the chairman. $124.7 billion in corporate debt. 198.6 basis points on the credit default swaps — higher than 2008. Negative $24.74 billion in free cash flow. $50 billion in AI capital expenditure. 1 PeopleSoft instance. 2 workflows. Same server. TERM_MASS_COMM_v4 and ONBOARD_H1B_STD share a database. That's human resources.

@TechLayoffLover Cisco CEO: Laying off thousands of Americans in 2026 while filing H-1B visas? Then move the whole company — and slash your pay — to India. Lead by example. This isn't efficiency. It's workforce replacement. American talent built Cisco. Time to protect it. 🇺🇸

But somehow they need to "optimize headcount" while dropping $28 billion on AI startups that do exactly what their fired engineers used to do Chuck Robbins got $31.6 million in total compensation. That's $4,514 per fired worker. I'm hearing the board approved $15 billion in stock buybacks the same week as the massacre Sources saying they're opening three new engineering centers in Bangalore and Mumbai to replace the American workforce they just executed The fucking audacity: Cisco's careers page is STILL posting "We're hiring the best talent" while 7,000 pink slips are in the mail HR called it "strategic workforce rebalancing" in the all-hands Translation: "We found Indians who will code for 70% less and AI that works for free" Your networking equipment was built by people who can't afford groceries anymore while Chuck Robbins flies private jets to Davos If you work at any major tech company, start interviewing tonight. The math has changed and you're just another line item to optimize
