Michigan has 250,000 unemployed Americans and 400,000+ foreign workers. Annually, 12,000 STEM college graduates in Michigan cannot find STEM jobs. 75,000 foreigners (H-1B visa holders) have those STEM jobs in Michigan. Michigan jobs must go to Michigan workers FIRST.

@JoshuaSchriver Great questions Josh.....all representatives from all states should be asking these questioins

@JoshuaSchriver @grok describe this hearing, date, location, meeting minutes overview, people in attendance

@JoshuaSchriver Dann right. Thank you for saying it out loud!

@JoshuaSchriver Ok. What are YOU gonna do about it?!

@JoshuaSchriver @DebiDuLongBaker Wouldn’t the inclusionist zealots say that racist?

@JoshuaSchriver Pay attention here, Josh!! Why do our 12,000 STEM graduates NOT have the skills that India H1-B visa holders do? Read that sentence again.

@JoshuaSchriver It’s a nationwide problem!

@JoshuaSchriver Somehow, I was able to get a job as a Developer but I struggled for 3 long years after graduating to find such a job. The glut of foreign work visas is friggen ridiculous! There was even a time when THEY would complain about how flooded the labor market was.

@JoshuaSchriver Just keep avoiding the question that's the only thing she understands your wondering why you can't find a job it's people like this who don't want to admit the problem to begin with.

@JoshuaSchriver Can't answer a simple question. So the employer gets to go through a process to hire H1 visas, and likely pays them less....and we have all these universities. So heads full of mush get jobs, and STEM degrees leave, a glimpse as to why this state is a MESS.

@JoshuaSchriver What a disgrace and betrayal of US workers !

@JoshuaSchriver U go2 Walmart, N notice d bananas kept on d racks ARE THE ONLY AVAILABLE Bananas in whole of Michigan. NO MORE! Josh thinks walmart should restrict them as there wont be enough. Do you see fallacy in statement? All #'s are in annual except 75k h1! Hire h1 for better reasoning!

@glennbeck I know someone that works at Michigan DHS and they tell me all about illegal aliens and how they are given preferential treatment over WE Americans! Illegals receive hundreds more than those under the same living standards (and the same amount of children). Not only that, but our state application for SNAP benefits asks if they would like to apply to vote, without asking for any definitive proof of identification! @GovWhitmer @JocelynBenson and @dananessel are all complicit in this fraud, and should have been arrested by the feds, long ago! Now it's up to the American people to correct the imbalance of a compromised and corrupted government!

@JoshuaSchriver As an employer that sounds good, but where can we find employees to fill the open slots? WE are seeing the affects of free money from the Fed and State thus allowing one not to work.

@JoshuaSchriver @TexasBelle There is probably a lot of visa fraud and discrimination against Americans as well like in Texas

@JoshuaSchriver Hey please look at the L1 loop hole and L2. It’s like Hb1 but you need less money

@JoshuaSchriver Why are people claiming that the jobs belong to XYZ group? If I am running a business I make the hiring decisions. I don't care what you think about who should be hired for the position. That's like capitalism 101

@JoshuaSchriver Reading the responses to this post must make you very proud Rep. Schriver.

@JoshuaSchriver H1b is just Indians. Please do not assume the issue for other foreign workers

@JoshuaSchriver Yes! This must be corrected immediately! I’m training foreigners to take our engineering jobs instead of training American citizens. Corporate greed is destroying America!

@JoshuaSchriver Michigan is wild! So many people on government assistance just because they are to lazy to work! I knew someone who got everything paid for by the taxpayers because they said they had social anxiety 😒 unreal!!!! They hand out benefits like crazy 🤪

@JoshuaSchriver This information should be posted on billboards in every college town in Michigan. @libsoftiktok

@JoshuaSchriver Employers offer low starting wages then claim they can't get American workers. They increase the wage and hire foreign workers claiming they had to do both to get employees. It's all a scam.

@JoshuaSchriver Who is this lady? She needs to lose her job!

@JoshuaSchriver Seems like the employer hired the most qualified people and you are butt hurt

@JoshuaSchriver Where are you getting the 75k number? New H1Bs are capped at 85k/yr They are for 3 years and can be extended once, with a cap of 6 years total The exception is to apply for a green card which allows for 1 year renewals while they await their GC review

@JoshuaSchriver This pisses me off to no end. Our government State and Federal, are absolutely worthless

@JoshuaSchriver Seems just a little racist to me - I thought we wanted the best and the brightest? YOU JUST WANT WHITE PEOPLE!

@JoshuaSchriver Michigan needs to have competitive pay for education and experience. This state pays very poorly and that is part of this issue.

@JoshuaSchriver Does she understand there is no requirement to try to fill the role with an American before going to a foreign hire?

@JoshuaSchriver So tell us, what are you gonna do about it?

@JoshuaSchriver Who is the woman being questioned?

@JoshuaSchriver Thank you, Josh. You are one of the few good ones in this wretched state.

@JoshuaSchriver @David_J_Bier and the rest of the lobbyists who would sell their mothers to the highest bidder, disagree with you

@JoshuaSchriver International > OOS > in state tuition If those international students don’t get those jobs the revenue stream to @UMich and other Mi universities dries up. Do something about the root cause . . . legalized price discrimination by universities.

@JoshuaSchriver @KristinaKaramo Democrats will never allow that. Since it would be putting Americans first.
