Disney IT Worker Thrown Out of Job, Replaced by Immigrant
The following testimony is only one of thousands of examples of employers using the H1B immigration law illegally to bring in cheap replacements for American workers. The law says that this is only permissible if there is no qualified American worker available, which is clearly not the case. Disney should be fined and and severely sanctioned in some way to make sure this does not happen again, and all businesses should be put on notice that this type of behavior will be punished and stopped. It is tragic and damaging to the fabric of society that this type of behavior would even be considered. No wonder big business is fighting against the candidates who promise to enforce immigration laws.
During the holiday season of 2014, I was sent a meeting invitation by a prominent Disney executive. With an excellent review in hand along with company announcements of record profits my mind buzzed with thoughts of a promotion or a bonus,” Leo Perrero, the former Disney worker testified before the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest. “I walked into a small conference room with about two dozen highly respected fellow IT workers. The Disney executive made a harsh announcement to us all.”
“Your jobs have been given over to a foreign workforce,” Perrero recalled the executive saying. “In the meantime you will be training your replacements until your jobs are 100 percent transferred over to them and if you don’t cooperate you will not receive any severance pay.”
“I started to think what kind of American was I becoming? Was I going to become part of ruining our country by taking severance pay in exchange for training my foreign replacement? How many other American families would be affected by the same foreign worker that I trained?” he said through tears.
Perrero recalled having to train his foreign replacement and the humiliation he felt at the task.
“The final period of the 90 days was the most disgraceful and demoralizing, as we had to watch the foreign workers completely take over our jobs. And we came to grips that the upcoming Disney jobs promise didn’t exist. Then finally on January 31st of 2015 we were forced to turn in our company badges, laptops and then ushered out the door,” he said.
Perrero is one of thousands who have lost their jobs to immigrants illegally being hired to take over the jobs of American workers. But because the government refuses to enforce laws preventing this type of transfer of employment to H1B visa holders, there is no recourse, and the law is null and void. There is a reason that Americans are angry this election season, and it is in part due to the unfairness and the lack of concern government leaders have shown towards American citizens.
Hopefully, businesses like Disney will find themselves shunned for their unpatriotic and unfair actions, and politicians running for office will get a clue and understand that they actually do need to recognize the needs of their constituents instead of focusing only on their big money donors. And if that does not happen, let us hope that the American electorate will throw the bums out of office and let them try unemployment for awhile.
