Veritas Whistleblower: DHS Officials Given Bonuses for Importing Contract Workers
Government employees are given bonuses for rubber-stamping corporate requests to replace American graduates with imported contract workers, an inside source told the Veritas Project.
“We’re supposed to be there to protect American jobs, and if you are getting a bonus because you are approving someone coming to the country … that to me, is unforgivable,” said the man, who Veritas described as a “Department of Homeland Security [DHS] insider.”
The man said he reviews corporate applications to import contract workers via the L-1A and L-1B visa program, likely at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agency within DHS. The agency is now run by a pro-migrant political activist, Ur Jaddou.
These L-1 contract workers are similar — but cheaper — to the mid-skill H-1B contract workers who have been imported in very large numbers to deliberately displace American graduates.
Many American graduates have been denied careers at Facebook, Microsoft, Intel, and other technology companies because executives prefer to fill starter jobs with many thousands of foreign contract workers. The contract workers are cheap, compliant, and controllable — and they minimize the number of American professionals who can quit to create competing companies.
Under President Joe Biden, the USCIS dropped quality control rules set by President Donald Trump. The agency now directs officials to defer to companies’ claims that they cannot find American workers for the jobs, even if the claims were initially approved several years ago. The whistleblower said:
When they [companies] ask for an [L-1 visa] extension under the deference policy, we’re supposed to accept the fact that the first approval was valid, and therefore, we just approve it … [DHS managers] want us to approve as many [applicants] as possible.
DHS managers reward officials to rubber-stamp corporate claims, even though each stamp denies another job to American graduates, he said:
Officers get a bonus at the end of the year, depending on how many files have been processed. [The] process includes denial[s], but the chances are that the vast majority of them are approvals … It’s a bad thing because it incentivizes [work visa] approvals. If they denied 90 percent [of corporate visa requests], there would be a far less amount of cases processed because it takes so much longer. [But] if you approve a bunch of cases, then you are going to obtain a higher [compensation] bonus because the processing numbers are higher.
If an official investigates or denies too many visa requests, they will get penalized, he said. Once penalized, he said, “you’re not entitled to overtime, not entitled to telework, you’re not entitled to go detail, not entitled to a lateral transfer, not entitled to a promotion.”
Agency officials face intense pressure to approve high-priority requests, dubbed “premium processing” applications. These applications come with a $2,500 check to the agency’s overall budget. “We’re required to complete 15 of those a week,” he said, and added that if an official misses a premium processing deadline, “you get called in and disciplined for that.”
Jaddou is eager to accelerate the award of green cards to foreign migrants, including visa workers and illegal aliens. The corporate funds she gets from approving worker L-1 visas can be used to deliver green cards to migrants, such as the economic migrants who crossed the Mexican border during President Barack Obama’s terms.
The foreign workers are being imported even though Americans can do those jobs, the government whistleblower told Veritas, adding:
A friend of mine that worked with me in immigration … was a computer guru. [He] couldn’t get a job with Microsoft. He went to work for immigration, and he stamped up and approved applications by Microsoft to bring in foreigners to do the job that he could have done.
The whistleblower’s testimony matches the pro-corporate policies adopted by Biden’s deputies, said Kevin Lynn, founder of U.S. Tech Workers:
They’re all ideologically in sync when it comes to open borders and displacing the Americans that they feel aren’t needed. It would make sense they would turn the metrics to volume and more, more, more …
Hoe continued:
Immigration works best for the citizens when it’s well regulated and restrictive, and is used to augment the citizenry but not to displace them. [But officials] are now incentivized to just goose the numbers …
The fix is to have an America First Congress, whether they be Republicans or Democrats. At that point, Congress can get back to work and reclaim its territory over immigration from the agencies … So, you know what we need is a Congress that will reassert control over immigration [agencies] and insist that the letter of the law is obeyed.
Fortune 500 companies favor the use of the mid-skill H-1Bs and L-1s, partly because they force down graduates’ salaries nationwide, but also because they give investors and executives far more workplace control over their college-graduate employees.
The salary impact is sketched by Dice.com, which collects data on technology workers’ salaries. In 2019, the site showed that U.S. tech workers’ wages had dropped in value from 2009 to 2018 because inflation had exceeded the wage gains. The salaries had risen from $78,845 in 2009 to $93,244 in 2018, slightly below the inflation rate.
In 2020, President Donald Trump shut down many of the visa worker programs, citing the coronavirus danger. Dice.com’s 2021 salary report subsequently reported widespread salary grains throughout the United States, and often at companies where managers prefer to import many compliant contract workers via the visa worker programs.
Nationwide, companies keep at least 600,000 — and perhaps 1 million — mid-skill H-1Bs in jobs needed by American graduates. This green-card workforce is augmented by several hundred thousand foreigners with Occupational Practical Training [OPT] work permits, or TN visas or L-1 visas.
That huge green-card workforce also helps to hide a rising population of white-collar illegal immigrants, many of who work as gig-workers for the Fortune 500’s myriad small subcontract firms, usually in the hope of getting green cards.
Overall, U.S. professionals are forced to compete for jobs against at least 1.5 million mid-skill foreign workers eager for green cards — plus the growing population of foreign-born workers who have been rewarded with green cards for displacing American professionals.
Each year, roughly 70,000 foreign graduates finally get green cards after working for U.S. employees, often for a decade or more.
The inflow is part of the federal government’s economic policy of extraction migration, which pulls blue-collar, white-collar, and non-working migrants into the United States to serves as consumers, renters, and workers. In 2021, Biden’s deputies are expected to pull in roughly 1.6 million migrants, or roughly one migrant for every two American births.
For many years, a wide variety of pollsters have shown deep and broad opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates. This public opposition is multiracial, cross-sex, non-racist, class-based, bipartisan, rational, persistent, and recognizes the solidarity Americans owe to each other.
The number of resident L-1s is unclear because the agencies provide little data about how long each L-1 worker is kept in the United States.
Many L-1 workers stay briefly to help implement an international contract, for example, to install a new robot or a production line. But many companies import L-1 workers — typically from India — to replace American graduates via outsourcing contracts.
The law allows U.S. employers to pay L-1 workers very low salaries, often under $30,000 per year — and often much less when federal inspectors are not checking for management abuse and fraud. For example, the GAO reported that “one pattern of abuse is an L-1A manager hiring family members and appearing to manage them in order to corroborate their claim to be an L-1A manager or executive.”
Many of the L-1 workers come from India’s huge population of poorly-trained and badly paid college graduates, partly because many U.S. companies have transferred many U.S. jobs into the semi-hidden U.S.-India Outsourcing Economy. That economy is managed by a U.S.-based diaspora of Indian managers who know how to control the diverse Indian workers — and who have a huge economic incentive to exclude Americans from U.S.-based jobs that can be traded to Indian graduates eager for green cards.
Indian hiring managers will sell jobs to Indians for $5,000 to $10,000, one Indian H-1B worker told Breitbart News. Honest Indian managers cannot stop the kickbacks, he said, because “you can’t survive — you will become a bottleneck in the chain. … [Senior managers] will fire you,” he said.
In contrast, mid-level American managers do not sell jobs, he said, adding, “There are very few honest Indian managers — maybe one in a million.”
The spread of Indian-style office politics into the United States has wrecked professionalism and encouraged a massive level of discrimination against American graduates, many Americans have told Breitbart.
“My experience with the people from [India] is that they have no basic [information technology] knowledge,” said Mary from central New Jersey, an immigrant software expert. “They will say they have all this experience [to get hired] and then try to learn on the job. If you ask them a question, they can’t answer you. So what is happening is that we’re training them … [even though] we have our jobs — and their jobs — to do.”
The Indians’ professional shortcomings create constant conflict with American professionals in offices, said Armondo from Texas. For example, Indian workers rely on office politics — including charges of racism — to deter U.S. managers from comparing productivity, he said:
That’s the way they operate — they will go over your head and start sabotaging you. They are trying to do everything they can to keep their job. … They are under a lot of pressure and are limited on what jobs they can get because of the visa. … The Indian managers know they have inexperienced people who can’t do crap, but they don’t fire them. That is another thing, they don’t fire them. An Indian manager does not fire them even because he knows this guy has a family and is married and they are not going to throw an Indian on the street.
“They’re very clannish. … They will push Americans out and make a group of their own,” Mary said. “When they’re talking in their Indian language, I have to ask them, ‘Can you speak English?’” she said. “I’m an outsider to them,” she added.
In August 2018, the General Accounting Office (GAO) said 163,424 L-1 worker and L-2 family visas were awarded worldwide in 2017. That 163,424 number includes “all visa adjudications during the specific time period,” a GOA manager told Breitbart News.
The DHS releases some data about the L visas it oversees each year. The DHS data suggests the top 10 Indian-owned staffing firms keep about 8,500 L-1 workers in the United States, not counting the L-1 workers quietly imported via other companies or the State Department’s “blanket petition” process. The top ten U.S. white-collar staffing firms use many Indian visa workers and seem to keep around 6,000 L-1s in the United States.
The State Department says it issued 51,981 L-1 worker and L-2 family visas to Indians in 2016. Other State Department pages show that it gave 18,473 L-1 work visas and 23,230 L-2 family visas in 2018, plus 18,293 L-1 worker visas in fiscal 2019, plus 23,060 L-2 family visas.
A 202o report said the agency provided 157,708 visas in 2019 and just 71,652 in 2020. A 2013 GAO report provided more data.
But the resident population of L-1 outsourcing workers may be very large. For example, if companies use the L-1 program to import 50,000 foreign workers each year, and if each work stays four years, their resident population would be roughly 200,000.
In January, Biden’s immigration reform bill included obscure sections that would supercharge the use of foreign graduates by Fortune 500 companies. The sections create a hidden pathway for companies to import an unlimited number of foreign graduates, at low wages, with guaranteed payments of government-provided citizenship in 10 years.
If enacted, the bill would ensure that the salaries paid to young American graduates — even the wokest graduates — would crash because companies would be able to hire an unlimited supply of foreign programmers, designers, therapists, teachers, engineers, pharmacists, accountants, or managers.

Senate Bill Would Stop US Companies From Using Chinese Slave Labor
Apple spent $90,000 lobbying against past version of the bill
A bipartisan group of senators on Friday introduced a bill that would stop U.S. companies from relying on Chinese slave labor.
Introduced by Sens. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) and Jeff Merkley (D., Ore.), the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act would require companies to ensure forced labor is not used in their supply chains. It would also direct federal departments to produce a strategy for cutting Chinese forced labor out of the U.S. supply chain. Up to one million members of the Uyghur ethnic minority have been placed in "re-education camps" in Western China, and many Uyghurs are trafficked across the country into forced labor programs.
At least one big tech company is likely to oppose the bill. Apple lobbied heavily against a previous iteration of the legislation, spending $90,000 on its lobbying efforts. In 2020, Apple stated that it "supported the goals" of the act but did not address allegations it had attempted to water down sections. Apple, Nike, Coca-Cola, and other U.S. companies argued they already monitored their own supply chains for forced labor violations.
A May 2021 investigation found at least seven Apple suppliers who likely use forced labor. A spokesman for Apple rejected those claims, saying the company "found no evidence of forced labor anywhere we operate." Supporters of the bill say that admission shows U.S. companies are not adequately self-policing their supply chains.
"As the Chinese Communist Party is committing egregious human rights abuses against Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities, including genocide and crimes against humanity, there is no excuse to turn a blind eye," Rubio said in a press release. "We must instead do everything in our power to stop them." At least 27 other senators have signed on to the bill as cosponsors.
Apple has come under fire for its close ties with China. The company is battling to prevent users from downloading third-party apps on its devices, which experts worry helps China restrict internet access. And privacy researchers have warned that authoritarian governments could use Apple's new child pornography detection tool to hunt down political dissidents.
“Joe Biden’s transition is absolutely staked with tech industry players,” noted Protocol, an online publication that covers technology.
There is nothing unexpected about the emerging right-wing, pro-war, pro-Wall Street composition of the incoming Biden administration. Biden himself spent decades in Washington as a corrupt bag-man for wealthy interests in the state of Delaware, the legal headquarters of hundreds of thousands of corporations that take advantage of its business-friendly laws.
U.S. Companies with ‘Made in China’ Products, ‘Optimistic’ About Joe Biden

American companies that do business and make their products in China are, by a majority, “optimistic” about a Joe Biden presidency, a new survey reveals.
The American Chamber of Commerce in a Shanghai, China, survey asked 124 business executives their opinions on a Biden presidency, to which a majority, nearly 63 percent, said they are “much more optimistic” or “more optimistic” about their doing business in the Communist country with the former vice president in the White House.
Likewise, the survey found that business executives do not expect Biden to impose more tariffs on China-made products — as President Trump did with billions of dollars worth of goods against the wishes of corporate interests.
CNBC reports:
“The majority of our respondents look at it as a positive,” Ker Gibbs, president of AmCham Shanghai, told CNBC in a phone interview. “The Biden administration would be a positive to the stability of the environment, the stability of the relationship.” [Emphasis added]
…
Under a Biden administration, only 5.6% of AmCham Shanghai survey respondents expect more tariffs. Instead, 70.2% anticipate new U.S. leadership will work more with other countries to put pressure on trade relations with China. [Emphasis added]
In August, Biden seemingly claimed he would repeal Trump’s tariffs on Chinese products. Later, his campaign aides walked the statement back, and he has since not been definitive on whether he plans to keep the tariffs or throw them out.
Already, the Business Roundtable, which represents some of the nation’s largest multinational corporations, is pushing Biden to ease the tariffs imposed on Chinese products by Trump, according to the Wall Street Journal:
“Unwinding the tariffs, especially with China, shouldn’t be a unilateral act,” said Josh Bolten, the BRT’s chief executive. “It should be an opening to begin a serious negotiation that the Trump administration attempted but in many respects made difficult through overly aggressive measures.” [Emphasis added]
…
On Monday, former George W. Bush administration Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson made a proposal similar to Mr. Bolten’s. “I would only remove existing tariffs when we have extracted a reciprocal and tangible benefit from China, met by defined benchmarks in a phased bilateral trade agreement,” he said at conference. [Emphasis added]
…
Myron Brilliant, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s executive vice president, added his voice to the rollback call on Tuesday. “We would hope that China would agree to the importance of further efforts on structural reforms unaddressed by the phase-one agreement,” he said in an interview, “and that the U.S. and China can find the political space to pull back tariffs that are currently in place.” [Emphasis added]
Biden has promised the opposite approach to China that Trump has successfully implemented for almost four years. Whereas Trump’s focus was on an “America First” bilateral trade policy with other nation-states, Biden is promising the multilateral approach that has formed the Washington, D.C., free trade consensus for decades.
Many Senate Republicans have suggested that they are behind a return to the multilateral approach with Biden. Republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee issued a report this week wherein they declared their support for Biden’s strategy, the Wall Street Journal reports:
“It is our populations—the U.S. and Europe—that built the world order of today, not China,” said Sen. Jim Risch, the chairman of the Senate committee, in an interview. “The world order that we have, based on democracy and based on the rule of law, is where this planet should go if it’s going to have a future.” [Emphasis added]
…
If Republicans retain control of the Senate, Mr. Risch will continue leading the chamber’s foreign-policy committee, which President-elect Joe Biden also chaired during his Senate career. The Idaho Republican said the report wasn’t timed with the election or presidential transition but that he would be willing to work with a Biden administration on confronting China with more help from Europe. [Emphasis added]
Andrew Bates, a spokesman for the Biden transition team, said: “President-elect Biden agrees that we should stand together with our allies and partners to press China’s government to curtail its economic, human rights, and other abuses. And he looks forward to working with both parties in Congress to realize that approach.” [Emphasis added]
Since 2001, U.S. free trade with China has eliminated at least 3.4 million American jobs. In 1985, before China entered the World Trade Organization (WTO) and before the U.S. normalized trade relations with China, the U.S. trade deficit with China totaled $6 billion. In 2019, the U.S. trade deficit with China totaled more than $345 billion.
Biden supported China’s entering the WTO and normalizing U.S. trade relations with China.

Report: Apple Is Lobbying Congress to Weaken Bill Against Chinese Slavery

Lobbyists for Silicon Valley tech giant Apple are reportedly attempting to weaken a new law aimed at preventing slave labor in China, the Washington Post revealed on Friday.
The Washington Post reported, citing two anonymous congressional staffers, that Apple lobbyists are working to dilute the effects of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, which would require U.S. companies to guarantee that they do no use slavery or forced labor from the mainly Muslim region of Xinjiang, where it is estimated that the Chinese government has placed as many as 3 million people into concentration camps.
Apple relies heavily on manufacturing in China and human rights reports have reportedly identified instances where Apple’s supply chain has been fed by Uyghur forced labor that evidence suggests is tantamount to slavery. The difference between forced labor and slavery in international law is that, in the former, the individuals being forced to work are treated as persons, rather than property, by the state.
China insists that its concentration camps are “vocational training centers” for underprivileged minorities.
A study published by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) in March also identified Apple as one of 83 companies around the world whose products are being manufactured in factories using Uyghur slaves, not necessarily in Xinjiang. While China initially built the camps in Xinjiang – where survivors say they endured communist indoctrination, torture, rape, slavery, and medical studies indicating trials for live organ harvesting – after intense human rights condemnations, the Communist Party began shipping Uyghur workers to factories nationwide. The ASPI study revealed government incentives to companies to hire Uyghur slaves.
The congressional staffers who spoke on the condition of anonymity said that Apple was one of many U.S. companies opposing the bill as it is written.
The staffers declined to detail the specific provisions that Apple was trying to have changed or removed as they feared providing that information would identify them to Apple. But both stated that they believed Apple was attempting to water down the bill.
Cathy Feingold, director of the international department for the AFL-CIO which supports the bill, stated: “What Apple would like is we all just sit and talk and not have any real consequences. They’re shocked because it’s the first time where there could be some actual effective enforceability.”
Apple spokesperson Josh Rosenstock said that the company “is dedicated to ensuring that everyone in our supply chain is treated with dignity and respect. We abhor forced labor and support the goals of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. We share the committee’s goal of eradicating forced labor and strengthening U.S. law, and we will continue working with them to achieve that.”
Rosenstock added that Apple this year “conducted a detailed investigation with our suppliers in China and found no evidence of forced labor on Apple production lines, and we are continuing to monitor this closely.”

Michelle Malkin: There Is NO American Worker Shortage
Earlier, by Michelle Malkin: A Day Without American Tech Workers
"We're full, our system's full, our country's full!" That was President Donald Trump last year at our southern border.
"Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families." That was Trump in January 2017 at his inaugural address.
"The influx of foreign workers holds down salaries, keeps unemployment high, and makes it difficult... to earn a middle class wage." That was presidential candidate Trump in 2016.
Contrast those clarion "America First" statements with the apparent hysteria of Trump's current acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, who was caught on tape telling a private audience of elites in England last week: "We are desperate—desperate—for more people. We are running out of people to fuel the economic growth that we've had in our nation over the last four years. We need more immigrants."
Mulvaney reportedly went on to push for "expanding" merit- and employment-based immigration to fill all the high-skilled jobs that Americans purportedly aren't capable of filling. By how much, for how long, in which visa categories and under what conditions this "expansion" should happen, Mulvaney is not reported to have detailed. (He will be featured at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday morning. It would be nice if someone asked him to elaborate, wouldn't it?)
"Running out of people" is typical Beltway swamp talk from a big business lobbyist trafficking in open borders "Chicken Little" alarmism. Has Mulvaney opened a newspaper or browsed the internet in the last 10 years? How about the last week? Over a 48-hour period, I compiled a Twitter thread of more than 50 stories of tens of thousands of recent U.S. worker layoffs in tech and other high-skilled industries. Among the U.S. corporations and institutions responsible for laying off, replacing, offshoring, and outsourcing tens of thousands of American jobs:
Wayfair, TripAdvisor, LogMeIn, Inc., Zume Pizza, VMWare, Shutterfly, Intel, Comcast, Xilinx, 23andMe, NortonLifeLock, AT&T, Macy's, Walgreens, Uber, Lyft, UCSF Medical Center, Baptist Health, Sysco, WeWork, American Family Insurance, Tennessee Valley Authority, Amway, UPS subsidiary Coyote Logistics, Comcast, Lime, Bird, Unicorn, Getaround, Cerner, Oracle, Samsung US, Edmunds.com, Textron Aviation, Morgan Stanley, Spirit AeroSystems, Mozilla, UiPath, Plexus, Cisco, Ancestry.com, Clover Health, State Street Corporation, Anthem, Transamerica, Verizon, MassMutual, Disney, Carnival, Abbott Labs, EmblemHealth, Harley Davidson, Cargill, Eversource Energy, Best Buy, Southern California Edison and Qualcomm.
The most recent entry in my U.S. worker layoffs thread came in Monday from Expedia, which announced it is laying off 12% of its information technology workforce (roughly 3,000), including 500 employees at its Seattle headquarters. Tip of the iceberg. As leading American workers' employment attorney and Protect US Workers advocate Sara Blackwell (right) points out, "so many companies are able to conduct this awful business model under the radar." And they get away with it because it's legal, workers are silenced, and most Americans "just do not care because it does not yet touch them personally."
Do we "need more immigrants," as Mulvaney claims? Marie Larson, an American mom who founded the American Workers Coalition with Barbara Birch and Hilarie Gamm, told me: "I talk to Americans almost daily who are being discriminated against, who keep getting laid off by Indian managers, who have to train their foreign replacements to get the much-needed severance packages, who have to pull kids out of college because they can't afford it, even having to sell their houses. These are STEM workers, who got the 'right' degrees and did everything they were supposed to do, only to have our government turn their back and sell out to big businesses push for even more H-1Bs." Tech firms cut 64,166 American jobs in 2019, up 351% from 14,230 in 2018.
Are we so "desperate" for more bodies to "fuel economic growth?" Let's recap the demographic math: We live in a nation of 330 million, 44 million of whom are foreign-born. Upward of 30 million immigrants are currently living, working and going to school here illegally. One million new legal immigrants are granted green cards every year. An estimated 600,000 temporary worker visas are issued annually, including the H-1B, H-2A, H-2B and H-4 programs. That doesn't include spousal visas or the more than half a million foreign "students" now working through the stealth guest worker plan known as the Optional Practical Training program, which allows foreign students to work with little monitoring, no wage protections, no payment of Social Security payroll taxes and no requirement for employers to demonstrate labor market shortages.
"We" ordinary Americans don't need more immigrants. Corporations (and their trusty house organ, the Wall Street Journal) want higher profits, lower wages, and endless pipelines of cheap foreign labor. They've been cooking up manufactured worker shortage crises since World War II and crying apocalypse since the 1980s, when the National Science Foundation's Erich Bloch hyped a STEM shortage based on groundless projections to crusade for agency budget increases.
Remember: The only persistent tech worker shortage in America is a shortage of workers at the wage employers want to pay. Beltway swampers gnashing their teeth over barren American worker recruitment pools are full of it.
