On Thursday, The Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article about a lawsuit filed by a coalition of Democrat-led states to block President Trump’s $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas. In addition to bringing money into America, the fee will help open up technology jobs for Americans. Many of these jobs are currently being filled by the visa recipients because the recipients demand a far lower salary than American workers. Also, a large number of the recipients send money back to their home countries so that the money they earn never goes back into the American economy.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

A coalition of Democrat-led states announced a\u00a0lawsuit<\/a> earlier in December to block the Trump administration\u2019s $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas, claiming that U.S. employers are in need of the \u201chighly skilled\u201d labor provided by the H-1B visa system. American tech workers \u2014 many of whom are unable to find employment<\/a> or have left the industry entirely out of frustration \u2014 say the lawsuit is the latest sign that the Democrat Party is no longer representative of the everyday working man.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is liberal states itching to \u2018stand up to Trump,\u2019 married by convenience to the Indian lobby and Big Business,\u201d John, a cybersecurity professional in the Seattle area who has struggled to land a job for a year, told the the Daily Caller News Foundation about the lawsuit. John said Democrat claims about labor shortages in higher education are \u201ccrap\u201d and that American citizens could \u201ceasily\u201d be hired for these positions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like all five of the current and former tech workers who spoke to the DCNF, John wished to only go by his first name out of fear of reprisal from potential employers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

\u201cThese corporations buy these politicians to bring in this cheap foreign cheap foreign labor, illegal and legal, to depress American wages,\u201d Joseph continued. \u201cIt\u2019s a worker issue, not a MAGA issue, so that\u2019s the biggest thing.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sean O\u2019Brien\u2019s speech at the 2024 Republican National Convention was a pivotal moment cited by Joseph and the other American workers who spoke to the DCNF about the changing political landscape. As president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the largest labor union on the continent, O\u2019Brien made history as the first<\/a> union leader to address the GOP convention and has since forged closer ties with national Republicans.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many struggling tech workers said they aren\u2019t looking for handouts from either party, but simply want political leaders to give them a chance to earn an honest day\u2019s work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe H-1B program was created in order to cheapen the value of tech labor,\u201d Riley, who left the tech industry entirely due to issues finding work, told the DCNF. \u201cWe\u2019ve never had a shortage of tech labor in the United States, and so I don\u2019t see the program continuing to be a good thing.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The corporations bought the politicians, and the politicians did what was right for the corporations–not what was right for the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
