Turns out the H-1B ‘lotto system’ is totally and completely rigged…

December 27, 2024 (an hour ago).1/3.This makes me sick to read this, because I know why Congress never fixed it

The H-1B “war” of 2024 is destined to go down in social media history. It’s equal parts productive and chaotic, with pro-foreign worker advocates like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy squaring off against America First MAGA forces. Ultimately, this debate is a healthy exercise for the America First movement, airing its internal conflicts—especially before Trump’s anticipated return to the White House.

That said, we shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Vivek and Elon don’t need to be thrown to the wolves over this issue. Sure, they could use a crash course in America First principles, but they also deserve the opportunity to get creative and course-correct. A good starting point? Taking a hard look at the system they support and acknowledging just how disastrous it really is.

Honestly, we’re dealing with a system so broken it’s beyond repair—especially the so-called “lotto” system at the heart of the entire H-1B scheme. Calling it “rigged” would actually be a compliment.

Yes, it’s really that bad.

Eric Fan:

Every year, a lottery determines who gets an H-1B visa to work in the US. The game, it turns out, is rigged.

Outsourcing and staffing firms are exploiting loopholes, crowding out US employers and immigrants who play it fair.

We have exclusive data to show it for the 1st time.

Congress created H-1B in 1990 to help American businesses get the world’s top talent. Instead, outsourcing and staffing firms flooded the system.

They bring in lower-level workers and pay lower wages. They game the lottery to gain unfair advantages.

Say you’re a regular American business that wants to hire a foreign graduate from a top US university. You would lose the candidate to lottery most (70%) of the time. That’s what happened to Sandeep Maganti, a talented engineer from India who founded his own startup.

An outsourcing firm, however, can draw from its vast workforce in India and put in 3X number of tickets. It doesn’t care who gets selected as long as somebody gets selected. @USCIS rules require a “legitimate job offer” for each lottery entry, but don’t require any proof.

We then identified 3000+ IT staffing firms, often called Body Shops or Desi Consultancies. Many cheated on a massive scale to submit multiple entries for the same candidates. The government called it fraud. Yet there’s little consequence. Many kept winning new visas this year.

One group of staffing firms entered each candidate as many as 15 times. The government flagged them in a damning report last year but didn’t name the companies. We matched details in their data to reveal the owner behind them. @USCIS says it cannot sanction companies.

This April, @USCIS changed lottery rules to remove the incentives for multi-reg. But that’s only part of the problem. Staffing firms continue to flood the lottery with dubious entries. Even among their single-reg candidates, staffers fail to file a petition half of the time.

Clearly, this entire program is nothing more than a massive scam—a blatant slap in the face to the American people. You can read the full story here.

But the fraud doesn’t stop there, folks. It’s likely far worse than most people realize, with much of it centering around something called “visa bodyshops.”

Ashley St. Clair:

A big shot employment attorney in California called me last night re: H1B visa fraud / trafficking of workers. Here’s what she said:

The market is cornered by visa body shops who apply for ~50% of the visas.

The economics of it: These body shops are headed by former hiring managers from Big Tech companies. They bring people to America, rent apartments for them, and house about 10 together in one apartment.

They put these recipients through a ~4 week bootcamp of basic tech training, fraudulently rewrite their resumes, teach them how to interview.

The body shops land them jobs, primarily at the companies these hiring managers came from, and pay the workers less than half of the money in hand.

Ex. Job is listed as a $200k salary, but the company is contracted with the body shop not the H1B worker, and the worker is actually paid closer to $40 an hour.

The body shops pocket most of the money and are making millions by essentially trafficking people.

The abuse and fraud must end!

We’ve been covering the dangerous DEI agenda, which lies at the heart of the H-1B “war,” for what feels like eons. One article we wrote nearly two years ago remains just as relevant today.

For decades, local planners, technicians, and civil engineers were often unsung heroes of American life. Even as American family life frayed, industry moved abroad, and crime soared, they built and maintained the amenities that are synonymous with the First World.

But the heroic age of Americans who actually built infrastructure is long past. The Silver Age of those who could at least maintain it is disappearing as well, like the Elves departing Middle-Earth. The average American utility worker is nearly fifty years old. In the next ten years, as many as fifty percent of these workers will retire. There are plenty of critiques to be made of elderly workers—we published one just the other day—but if there is any industry where experience is truly invaluable, it is in maintaining and managing the enormously complex systems that America’s cities and states use to generate power, supply water, move people, and generally keep everything functioning. These workers started their careers in a very different America: one with a higher-quality working class, which felt far less shame about hiring based on knowledge and ability, even if it produced a workforce that was “too white” or “too male” or too anything. Now, they are passing the baton to a population with different skills and very different values. Is anybody confident we’ll be able to manage the handoff?

Early signs aren’t promising. When Colonial Pipeline suffered a major outage due to a cyberattack, the company’s CEO had to admit that the company was essentially incapable of operating its pipelines manually, not because it was impossible but because everyone with the knowledge to do so was retired or dead.

Right before our eyes, America is losing that ability to sustain the complex systems that are the markers of modern civilization. Even more appalling, this transformation is a choice.

Remember that trillion-dollar infrastructure bill Biden passed? Did you know that construction companies that want access to any of that gigantic pile of federal dollars need to implement major affirmative action policies to favor people based on race and sex? And did you know that if a company is getting a government contract on even one project, they need to practice affirmative action on everything? Law firm Jackson Lewis explains:

For women, the participation goal is 6.9%, meaning we are going to strive to make 6.9% of the total hours worked on each and every project, be performed by women. For minorities, we have a different goal, percentage goal, it may be 7%, even up to 23% or more, and that’s based on each individual geographic region in which you’re performing the project.

For our individuals with disabilities, it is a utilization goal under that Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, we’re trying to hit 7% of our workforce in each trade, identify as having a disability. And that number isn’t pulled out of thin air. It really is an estimate of the population of the United States that identifies as having a disability.

Is it any surprise that while the East Palestine train derailment mess was unfolding, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was off giving a speech about the need to make construction work less white?

This is a must-read piece that dives deep, peeling back the layers to reveal how the DEI agenda and the H-1B “war” are deeply intertwined. Check out the full article below:

As we mentioned earlier, one silver lining of the H-1B “war” is that it’s forcing a long-overdue conversation about an issue that has been swept under the rug and misrepresented for far too long. The fraud and scandal surrounding this system are staggering, exposing just how deep and twisted the problem truly is—complete with hidden “bodies” that need to be unearthed and brought into the light.

The abuse and corruption within this system are staggering, and it’s clear that Trump’s next administration will face an uphill battle to clean it up.If Elon and Vivek truly want to be allies in this fight, they’ll need to fully commit to every aspect of America First—not just the parts that are convenient or popular.

Of course our Congress did this to America

>>22237088 The Great Christmas H1B War of 2024 - the perfect clusterfuckek.PN

Perfect synopsis!

There's one thing I don't understand (maybe a lot more):Trump has for 10 years from day one, has not only spoken and demanded the stop of illegal and flooding the country with legal immigration. He enumerated continuously the harm it does to America, Americans and every town, state and city. All MAGA Americans agreed and joined the caused, along with millions more in the 2024 election.

It was item #1 on his list, (actually going back to the early 90's along with imbalanced foreign trade), in 2016 he said that the H1B visa was a scam that reduced the wages of Americans. (So much more can be said)

But based just on that #1 policy how did these big tech gurus or retards miss his point?

And not only miss his point, but argue with Americans that disagreed with their obvious NWO assumptions and statements. But they went on to insult (in Vivek's case, that believes he will be PDJT's admin) all of the American people, saying we are to retarded, not educated, not motivated to put in the effort to be in tech.

And then Elon goes on to ban Loomer, probably because she was getting too much support,Which revealed Elon really doesn't believe in free speech, just the free speech that shows in a benevolent light.

Personally I suspect that Trump is have a very loud day on yelling at Elon, Vivek and David Sacks. And I think it was a surprise to him how harsh, insensitive, elite and downright stupid to try to invalidate his policy from the beginning, which is the #1 reason we followed him.

Although Trump seemingly made a mistake on the Sacks All in podcast that he would like to give a green card to every foreign American educated graduate. Which was not definitively said.But there was no way he wanted to replace Americans. How did these brainiac tech people miss it, or not understand his "weave"?His weave is very careful, and must be decoded a couple of times to get the point. Did he trick them, I doubt it, they are good allies, while in their right minds.

The Big Tech Oligarchs should study the Q drops and listen and re-listen to Trump's rallies. It takes the whole board of anons to find the jewels in his rallies. I doubt AI is as educated as we are on PDJT's speaking and meaning.

>>22238175

He only hires cheap labor, and/or he has sex with all of his employees (i doubt that though)

No thanks, but that makes sense
