The outsourcing of American jobs has once again become big news in 2016. Before Obama took office, Americans were afraid to lose their jobs to workers in China or south Asia. Then, it was Mexico taking our jobs, from Caterpillar to Carrier, and — most recently — Ford.
Now, companies don’t even have to look outside of our country’s borders to find cheap immigrant labor. Thanks to H1-B visas, jobs once held by Americans are increasingly going to “guest workers” in the United States who are willing to work for much less money.
This phenomenon is no stranger to the tech industry in Silicon Valley, which has been doing this for years, but now it’s spreading into multiple lines of business across the nation.
All of this because of government keeps trying to force a “global economy” and trade deals that elevate the third world while crushing the American economy.
See the latest company to fire their American staff in favor of immigrant H1-B recipents on the next page:
Stop supporting them their are plenty of other places to eat besides their food sucks
Because some Americans are really lazy
I question this news on the basis that there is a federal minimum wage.
Even though Mc Donald’s or Walmart or any other corporation might to pay immigrants less they stand a huge court case and fines if they pay less than the federal minimum wage.
The H1-B is for skilled labor (computer programmers, engineers). Not burger flippers.
And while I’m on my soapbox …. fast food and other similar jobs are intended to be entry level jobs for beginning workers to learn how to be workers.
Any political party that dangles a federal minimum wage in front of these workers are only pandering for votes. In some cases these workers will not qualify for assistance because of increased pay, causing them greater hardship because of increased wages. But the wage is being sold for votes and for the benefits of workers.
Yup
Have had my last meal from there
Gary. you hit a few key points. Here is another one.
EVERYBODY Ran around Scared of BHO. the fear was real. To avoid being called, Racist, they (the whole DC politicos) let BO run around doing the things he did w/o opposition.
never should one Administration be allowed to turn America 180 degrees in 8 years.
the left loves trashing Constitution. even calling it a “living” document.
I dont care who works in DC. However Constitution must be upheld. Never before, or modern era, has any Country ran like America
It’s 2017 not 2016. Can we have some NEWS for a change.
It used to be that companies had to justify hiring anyone other than a citizen by showing there were no citizens available for the jobs (at the reasonable rate for the job). Somehow we now have citizens being replaced by cheap non-citizen labor. There is something wrong here, and it has to do with immigration law and policy.
Glad I don’t eat fakedonalds
No more McDonald’s for me!
