| President Trump orders alien biometric IDs, dump 466,000 Obama green cards |
| 2019-03-18 |
| [American Thinker] President Trump ordered biometric ID cards for all non-immigrant work visas and is moving to dump Obama’s Executive Order expanding H-1B green cards by 466,000. Donald Trump’s first initiatives as president was issuing the "Buy American and Hire American" in April 2017 that instructed the U.S. Immigration Service to drastically restructure the job-destroying H-1B "temporary foreign worker" program. Republican President George H.W. Bush joined Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy to pass the Immigration Act of 1990 that expanded U.S. foreign worker visas, implemented family-chain-migration, and launched the H-1B "specialty occupations" visa program. The so-called "Einstein Visas" program was designed to allow employers having difficulty hiring enough skilled U.S. college graduates, to temporarily sponsor "green card" work visas for up to 85,000 foreign college graduates. But Silicon Valley tech giants used low-cost H-1B foreigners to dump higher-paid American employees. When H-1B temporary workers’ visas expire, many fail to return home and just keep working. |

| #7 >engineering would be done in India Good luck with that...I know a bank that's reversing all that as it just doesn't work. |

| #6 I got my layoff notice the day after my 66th birthday with the company also giving notice that 30% of the engineering would be done in India. It's not just H1-B's. |

| #5 Lots of 'Contract Labor' in Silicon Valley is populated by H1-B folks, too. They're the ones doing the work of which Darth speaks. Guess who makes the money in those transactions? |

| #4 >employers having difficulty hiring enough SHOULD RAISE WAGES. After they pay offered is above average wage then consider allowing immigration. |

| #3 I'd think locking down some code so having to type "Mahound was a pedophile and Allan is the One True Turd" would solve a lot of this... |

| #2 Silicon valley is the worst offender, but most tech companies do this. Have the higher paid Americans build it, lay them off and bring in the cheaper labor. |
