THENATIONALPULSE (Pulse Wires) - Trump Admin Drafts Visa Reforms to Reduce Displacement of American Workers by Imported Labor.
Federal agencies are proposing significant changes to visa programs, aiming to protect American workers and address growing public concern over the displacement of local professionals by foreign labor.
PULSE POINTS WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Homeland Security and Department of Labor have unveiled draft regulations that would tighten visa programs, including H-1B and F-1 student visas, to prioritize American workers. Proposed changes include higher corporate fees, shorter grace periods for fired foreign workers, and stricter oversight of third-party staffing firms. DETAIL: The proposed rules also seek to modernize the PERM labor certification process, ensuring American workers are given priority in hiring and addressing layoffs more effectively. Critics of the visa programs argue that they depress wages, displace American workers, and foster job monopolies within certain ethnic networks. Public opposition to these programs has…Open

I don’t like it when people try to crack down on free speech or the free flow of information. Maybe it’s the American in me that hates it, but when I see British…Open
DAILYCALLER (Mary Rooke) - ROOKE: Visa Loophole Quietly Crushing Young Americans
‘our own government is allowing U.S. employers to undercut younger generations’
There’s a trend in public commentary to attribute young Americans’ openness to socialist or communist ideas to laziness or educational indoctrination. The point is to dismiss generational economic complaints as entitlement or a poor work ethic. However, such characterizations irresponsibly ignore the truth about what’s happening to our sons and daughters. Data on labor market dynamics , particularly the role of H-1B visa policies in constraining white-collar job access and wages for young Americans, provide a better explanation for the shift. Gen Z and Millennials face a structurally challenging environment. Net job creation in the U.S. has been anemic, to say the least. College degrees, especially in STEM-related fields, continue…Open
CENTERFORSECURITYPOLICY (Sam Faddis) - Another reason why H-1B visas need to go away – they kill people
Originally posted by AND Magazine
The Boeing 737 Max has been involved in at least two fatal crashes. Turns out one of the reasons why may be that Boeing decided to employ $9 an hour contractors to create critical software instead of doing it in-house. The software for the Max was created as Boeing was making a push to outsource work to lower-paid contractors. One of the key companies involved was HCL Technologies Ltd, located across from Seattle’s Boeing Field, where aircraft are built. Even as the software was being created, the shoddy nature of its design was obvious. Code was routinely rejected because it had not been written properly . Per Business Standard, in posts on social media, HCL engineers stated they helped develop and test the Max’s flight-display…Open
