What's Wrong with This Picture: Three-Quarters of Silicon Valley Workers Are H-1Bs?

Excerpt: It looks more to me like a classic public relations
campaign to put the best face possible on the industry's addiction to cheap,
pliable foreign workers who are less likely to complain over their working
conditions, or about having to live in communities where the cost of living is
so high that they are the equivalent of indentured apprentices surrounded by
incomprehensible, unachievable, wealth.
“Everybody gets in,” said Mark Krikorian, director of the
Center for Immigration Studies. “It will be eight to 10 years before there’s
any reduction in immigration numbers.”
WH Plan: Big Amnesty Now, Nothing for Americans Until 2027

President Donald
Trump’s new “framework” amnesty plan would provide citizenship to at least
1.8 million illegals — but would not allow any beneficial reduction in
cheap-labor immigration until 2027.
The pro-business plan, leaked to Washington insiders this
afternoon, asks progressive Democrats and business-first Republicans to accept
a trade-off: Amnesty for at least 1.8 million illegals in exchange for a border
wall, end chain-migration and ending the visa lottery.
But the loopholes are huge — and those loopholes will flood
the labor market for another decade, so helping Wall Street by cooling the
current worker shortage which is now raising Americans’ wages.
For example, the lottery program would be ended, but the 50,000
lottery visas per year would be given to other migrants, so doing nothing
to reduce the wage-lowering inflow of cheap labor.
More importantly, chain-migration would formally end
immediately, but everyone on the huge waiting list would be allowed into the
United States. That pipeline of pending chain-migration immigrants includes
roughly 4 million people — many of whom will depend on taxpayer funds because
they are either unskilled or too old to work. That population is enough to keep
the chain-migration pipeline open for another ten years, which means the public
only gains a benefit if the alliance of business groups and progressives
somehow fails to expand other areas of the immigration system during the next
ten years.
“Everybody gets in,” said Mark Krikorian,
director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “It will be eight to 10 years
before there’s any reduction in immigration numbers.”
A one-year grace period for chain-migration people is
understandable, he said. “But for everybody on the waiting list
to be able to come? That is absurd.”
The continued inflow means that pro-amnesty forces have a decade
to reverse the workplace benefits and taxpayer benefits that Americans could
gain from ending chain migration, he said. Krikorian added:
There’s no way to know the future but it is certainly
plausible that the promised immigration cuts will never actually
happen … if some Democratic Congress and Democratic President
take over seven, eight years from now, they can easily
change all of that and the result would be
no reduction in immigration … Who
knows what the heck President Kamala Harris will do at
that point?
The plan fails because it front-loads the amnesty, but delays
the gains and safeguards, he said. “That
is exactly the same thing that the Gang of Eight bill did,
and the [2006, 2007] McCain/Kennedy bill did.”
Under the framework plan, the population to be amnestied is set
at 1.8 million by expanding the number of people beyond the 700,000 people now
enrolled in the DACA program.
That expansion also means the federal government would have to
correctly identify each claimant, verify their weak or disputed claims of
eligibility — and also successfully defeat a myriad number of lawsuits suits by
fraudsters trying to win the huge prize of American citizenship. In the 1980s,
a similar plan to provide green cards to an estimated population of 400,000
farmworkers eventually provided green cards to 1 million people who claim to be
farm-workers, including an Egyptian cabby in New York who used his green card
to train overseas for the first bombing attack against the Twin Towers in 1993.
“If they go beyond the population enrolled in
DACA, they’ve got to start from scratch in verifying
those people, so it will be a burden on USCIS, and it is going to
make it easier for people to defraud the system,” said
Krikorian.
If fully completed, the $25 billion border wall might halve legal
immigration, so keeping roughly 150,000 foreign workers from sneaking into the
labor market. But that inflow is far below the continued legal inflow of 1.1
million legal immigrants, not counting the population of roughly 3 million
short-term visa workers.
Four million Americans turn 18 each year and begin looking for
good jobs in the free market.
But the federal government inflates the supply of new labor by
annually accepting roughly 1.1 million new legal immigrants, by providing
work-permits to roughly 3 million resident foreigners, and by doing little to
block the employment of roughly 8 million illegal immigrants.
The Washington-imposed economic policy of economic growth via
mass-immigration floods the
market with foreign labor, spikes profits and Wall Street
values by cutting salaries for
manual and skilled labor offered by blue-collar and white-collar employees. It
also drives up real estate prices, widens wealth-gaps,
reduces high-tech investment,
increases state and local tax burdens,
hurts kids’ schools and college education, pushes
Americans away from high-tech careers, and
sidelines at least 5 million marginalized Americans and
their families, including many who are now struggling with opioid addictions.
The cheap-labor policy has also reduced investment and job
creation in many interior states because the coastal cities have a surplus of
imported labor. For example, almost 27 percent of zip codes in Missouri had
fewer jobs or businesses in 2015 than in 2000, according to a new report by
the Economic Innovation Group. In
Kansas, almost 29 percent of zip codes had fewer jobs and businesses in 2015
compared to 2000, which was a two-decade period of massive cheap-labor
immigration.
Because of the successful cheap-labor strategy, wages for men
have remained flat since 1973, and a
large percentage of the nation’s annual income has shifted to investors and
away from employees.
NumbersUSA’s Rosemary Jenks: E-Verify Ignored in DACA Negotiations Because
‘Members of Congress Know It Will Work’

Members of
Congress broadly oppose a legislative nationwide E-Verify mandate for employers
because “they know it will work,” said NumbersUSA’s Rosemary Jenks, explaining
why E-Verify is not being pushed in congressional negotiations for an amnesty
deal for recipients of the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals (DACA). Jenks further noted that both parties are beholden to special
interests supportive of “mass migration.”
Jenks offered her analysis during a Monday interview on
SiriusXM’s Breitbart News
Tonight with Breitbart News’s Senior Editors-at-Large Rebecca
Mansour and Joel Pollak.
Mansour asked Jenks why most Republicans were not supporting a
legislative nationwide mandate for E-Verify use by employers. “Why do you think
that this isn’t being pushed, then? It seems like a no-brainer. Why is this not
being included in all the negotiations?” she said.
“I think [E-Verify] is not being pushed precisely because members
of Congress know it will work,” said Jenks. “I think that is exactly the reason
it’s not being pushed. Democrats, for sure, don’t want mandatory E-Verify
because they know it will discourage illegal immigration, which will discourage
the push for the next amnesty. And, let’s face it, the establishment
Republicans don’t want it because they know it will be effective and eliminate
their cheap labor pools.”
Special interests, including “big business,” “organized religion,”
and “ethnic advocacy groups,” subvert popular American will via their funding
and political agitation, said Jenks, adding, “It’s about the donors and
about the Democrat Party wanting mass immigration. Those are the two factors
that rule every immigration debate. It’s always the big business donors,
organized religion, the ethnic advocacy groups. All of the money is behind mass
immigration, and then, there’s the American people on the other side. That’s the
problem we have had. That’s why we haven’t controlled immigration in the last
five decades.”
Legislating a national mandate for E-Verify use by employers is
more important than construction of a southern border wall, argued Jenks. “In
our view, mandatory E-Verify is more important than a wall. So that is the one
place where we’re hoping that we can move the administration to saying E-Verify
is a must-have.”
Approximately half of “the illegal population” is composed of
foreigners who lawfully entered the homeland and overstay their visas, said
Jenks. An E-Verify mandate on employers, she added, would “mostly shut down”
the lure of employment for illegal aliens.
E-Verify usage by employers would facilitate more effective
enforcement of immigration law by allowing federal authorities to target
businesses abstaining for its use, said Jenks. “They have a clearer target for
enforcement measures.”
Jenks listed the following elements as “must-haves” for any
legislative amnesty proposal: 1) limiting the amnesty to the DACA population;
2) ending chain migration; 3) ending the “Diversity Visa Program” lottery;
4) implementation of effective border security and interior enforcement
measures; and 5) implementation of a national mandate for employer use of
E-Verify.

Fully 79 percent foresaw a heightened threat of a major “state-on-state” military conflict."

What’s clear is that the producers are leaving the state and the takers are coming in. Many of the takers are illegal aliens, now estimated to number over 2.6 million. The Federation for American Immigration Reform estimates that California spends $22 billion on government services for illegal aliens, including welfare, education, Medicaid, and criminal justice system costs.

Liberals
claim they more than make that up with taxes paid, but that’s simply not true.
It’s not even close. FAIR estimates illegal aliens in California contribute
only $1.21 billion in tax revenue, which means they cost California $20.6
billion, or at least $1,800 per household.
Nonetheless, open border advocates, such as Facebook Chairman Mark Zuckerberg, claim illegal aliens are a net benefit to California with little evidence to support such an assertion. As the Center for Immigration Studies has documented, the vast majority of illegals are poor, uneducated, and with few skills. How does accepting millions of illegal aliens and then granting them access to dozens of welfare programs benefit California’s economy? If illegal aliens were contributing to the economy in any meaningful way, California, with its 2.6 million illegal aliens, would be booming.
Furthermore, the complexion of illegal aliens has changed with far more on welfare and committing crimes than those who entered the country in the 1980s. Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute has testified before a Congressional committee that in 2004, 95% of all outstanding warrants for murder in Los Angeles were for illegal aliens; in 2000, 23% of all Los Angeles County jail inmates were illegal aliens and that in 1995, 60% of Los Angeles’s largest street gang, the 18th Street gang, were illegal aliens. Granted, those statistics are old, but if you talk to any California law enforcement officer, they will tell you it’s much worse today. The problem is that the Brown administration will not release any statewide data on illegal alien crimes. That would be insensitive. And now that California has declared itself a “sanctuary state,” there is little doubt this sends a message south of the border that will further escalate illegal immigration into the state.

"If the racist "Sensenbrenner
Legislation" passes the US Senate, there is no doubt that a massive civil
disobedience movement will emerge. Eventually labor union power can merge with
the immigrant civil rights and "Immigrant
Sanctuary" movements to enable us to either form a new political
party or to do heavy duty reforming of the existing Democratic Party. The next
and final steps would follow and that is to elect our own governors of all the
states within Aztlan."
Indeed, California goes out of its way to attract illegal aliens. The state has even created government programs that cater exclusively to illegal aliens. For example, the State Department of Motor Vehicles has offices that only process driver licenses for illegal aliens. With over a million illegal aliens now driving in California, the state felt compelled to help them avoid the long lines the rest of us must endure at the DMV. And just recently, the state-funded University of California system announced it will spend $27 million on financial aid for illegal aliens. They’ve even taken out radio spots on stations all along the border, just to make sure other potential illegal border crossers hear about this program. I can’t afford college education for all my four sons, but my taxes will pay for illegals to get a college education.
