BIDENOMICS - NO LEGAL NEED APPLY!!! - Boeing Outsourcing Nearly 700 U.S. Jobs to India While Raking in Taxpayer Money via Ukraine War Packages

 

 Analysis conducted last year reveal that 71 percent of tech workers in Silicon Valley are foreign-born, while the tech industry in the San Francisco, Oakland, and Hayward area is made up of 50 percent foreign-born tech workers.

 

Despite his Wall Street, big business, Big Tech, and billionaire donations, Biden has attempted to portray himself as a small-town fighter from Scranton, Pennsylvania

 

By failures of border security, a lack of the enforcement of our immigration laws from within  the interior of the United States and huge numbers of visas for high tech workers, the lives and livelihoods of Americans and their children, are being stolen by America’s corrupt political elite who are doing the bidding of those who provide them with huge “Campaign Contributions” (Orwellian euphemism for bribes) pursue legislation that is diametrically opposed to the best interests of America and Americans.

Millions of American families have lost everything in recent years, and new data shows that middle-class households are going bankrupt at a faster pace than households in other income groups. A scarcity of well-paying jobs, astronomical price increases, and the runaway increase of mortgage rates in an age of stagnant paychecks have all contributed to the financial struggles of middle-class Americans. But at the end of the day, it all boils down to the fact that even with two incomes, becoming and staying in the middle class has never been harder. The current economic downturn is threatening to make things even more complicated for middle-income earners. They are standing on very thin ice, and the cracks are starting to show. Many of them are already on the brink and are likely to the pushed over the edge by an unexpected job loss or emergency expense in the months ahead, experts say. Middle-class Americans accounted for 66% of personal bankruptcies in the country in 2022. Today, many of the staples of middle-class life such as college education and homeownership carry with them more financial risk, requiring more borrowing and new riskier forms of borrowing, especially at a time of rampant interest rates. And now more than ever, consumer debt has become the go-to pressure valve for squeezed middle-class families. However, more consumer debt puts them in a precarious financial situation, economists say. “It is the people in the middle — not the richest or the poorest — who accumulate the most debt on their credit cards. It is these same people who seek relief in the bankruptcy courts,” highlights economist and management consultant, Amelia Tyagi. A generation ago, a typical middle-class family with one income committed about 54% of their pay to the basics — housing, health insurance, transportation, and taxes. That is, the one-income family spent about half its income to cover all the bills — “the essential expenses that must be paid even if someone gets sick or loses a job,” Tyagi says. In 2023, these basic expenses, including child care so that both parents can work, consume 75% of the family’s combined income. With 75% of income allocated for fixed expenses, the finances of today’s middle-income households have no margin for error.  “When we think of bankruptcy, we often think of celebrities who have gone broke, companies that failed, and crooks who are trying to cheat the system. But as it turns out, bankruptcy is most common among middle-class Americans,” says MarketWatch financial analyst Jana Kasperkevic. During an interview, bankruptcy lawyer Craig D. Robins emphasizes that nowadays, those who are most likely to file for bankruptcy are middle-class families of the baby-boomer generation – “the typical Long Island family,” he said. “We previously considered middle-class families as a stereotypical group noted for their financial stability and for the vitality they provide to the American economic system. It is the middle-class family, however, that now has become the stereotypical bankruptcy filer,” Robins outlines. Carrying high levels of debt during such uncertain times may push many of these households over the edge financially in the months ahead. As the recession unfolds, layoffs and the lack of job creation will continue to fuel the personal bankruptcy boom. That’s how you know when a country is broken. The foundation of our economy is desintegrating before our eyes. And many people will be shocked to find out that poverty may be just one headwind away.


Zuckerberg’s FWD.us Claims No Amnesty Ensures Midterm Defeat for Democrats

NEIL MUNRO

The Facebook-funded FWD.us investor advocacy group is touting the claim that Democrat turnout will drop in 2022 if the party cannot pass an amnesty through Congress.

But that claim is toothless, in large part because recent polls show that many Americans of Latino ancestry are increasingly voting for the GOP, precisely because GOP leaders oppose the amnesty-amplified wave of cheap labor into their communities.

The claim is being made by pro-migration groups, including the leaders of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) which denounced the Senate’s parliamentarian’s decision to exclude the parole amnesty for 6.5 million illegals from the draft Build Back Better spending plan.

NDLON declared Thursday night:

Democrats’ excuses for their failure, for their incompetence, and for their insincerity will be the ammunition used by xenophobes in the Republican Party to retake control of the federal government in upcoming elections. Inaction on immigration legalization risks further propelling Trumpism in every possible way … No more excuses. Where there is a will, there is a way.

The NDLON group represents illegal migrants, most of whom work for very low wages, and none of whom can vote in U.S. elections.

Rep. Lou Correa (D-Calif.) is making the same claim, according to Bloomberg, which reported that he “warned that Democrats would face wrath from voters in the 2022 elections if they don’t secure a citizenship path”

But the NDLON claim is being echoed by the politically powerful investor class, who use imported workers, consumers, and renters to spike the value of their Wall Street investments.

Todd Schulte is the president of the FWD.us advocacy group for investors, which gets about $30 million a year from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to push for more migration. On Thursday night, he tweeted:

 

Schulte’s deputy also pushed a hard line:

 

Unsurprisingly, FWD.us has a hidden agenda in the amnesty debate.

The establishment media extensively cover the proposed parole amnesty for 6.5 million illegal migrants. But the media largely ignores  two other proposed changes to immigration laws that would deliver huge benefits to West Coast investors who created the FWD.us advocacy group in 2013.

For example, the BBB legislation would allow the White House to provide green cards to millions of favored migrants, including perhaps three million “chain migrants” selected by recent immigrants. This open-doors policy would provide investors with millions of new profit-generating consumers, renters, and workers.

The BBB legislation would also allow President Joe Biden’s pro-migration deputies to sell green cards to at least one million migrants who have taken many of the Fortune 500 jobs sought by skilled U.S. college graduates. This change would allow Fortune 500 companies to hire many more foreign graduates with dangled offers of fast-track green cards. These workers are usually imported via the visa worker programs, such as the H-1B and Optional Practical Training program.

But those two benefits for the Fortune 500 investors may be dropped if the Democrat senators cannot also get their amnesty for illegal migrants.

On Friday, an advocacy group for corporate-funded immigration lawyers urged Congress to keep pushing the green card giveaway, even after the amnesty was nixed:

 

“The corporate guys are riding on perceived sympathy for the illegal alien population in order to get their immigration giveaways,” said Robert Law, the director of regulatory affairs and policy at the Center for Immigration Studies. He continued:

The Hispanic population knows immigration is a pocketbook issue for them as well, and mass illegal immigration — plus legal immigration — hurts the economic opportunities of Hispanic Americans or the black community, or any people who typically are competing at the lower end of the economic spectrum.

The Senate’s debate referee has not issued any judgments on the two green card proposals.

Zuckerberg’s FWD.us network of coastal investors stands to gain from more cheap labor, government-aided consumers, and urban renters. The network has funded many astroturf campaigns, urged Democrats to not talk about the economic impact of migration, and manipulated coverage by the TV networks and the print media.

FWD.us’also spotlights many family dramas amid the inflow of border migrants. This focus helps keep reporters from recognizing the huge pocketbook impact of the establishment’s economic policy of mass migration. The resulting family-drama coverage also keeps many young progressives from noticing that the extraction migration policy drives up their rents and cuts their salaries.

The breadth of investors who founded and funded FWD.us was hidden from casual visitors to the group’s website sometime in the last few months. But copies exist at other sites.

 

 

Bidens Chief of Staff Worked on Behalf of Big Tech for Endless H-1B Visas

JOHN BINDER

Democrat Joe Biden has chosen Ronald Klain to be his chief of staff should he enter the White House in January. Klain worked on behalf of Silicon Valley executives and their interests, which include providing tech corporations with an endless supply of H-1B foreign visa workers and more free trade.

Klain, who was made Biden’s incoming chief of staff this week, served on the executive council of TechNet — a firm that promotes the interests of Silicon Valley’s tech corporations in Washington, D.C. Klain served on the council alongside executives from the Oracle Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Google, Visa, Apple, and Microsoft.

TechNet, most recently, joined a lawsuit against President Trump’s reforms to the H-1B visa program that sought to prioritize unemployed Americans for jobs rather than allowing businesses to continue importing foreign workers.

TechNet is one of the groups that has filed an amicus brief to oppose the new regulations on H-1B visas. https://t.co/ofY4GJ2sVR

— U.S. Tech Workers (@USTechWorkers) November 12, 2020

Trump’s seeking to force businesses to hire Americans over importing foreign visa workers is an affront to Silicon Valley’s tech corporations, those represented by TechNet, who advocate for an endless flow of H-1B foreign visa workers.

There are about 650,000 H-1B visa workers in the U.S. at any given moment. Americans are often laid off and forced to train their foreign replacements, as highlighted by Breitbart News. More than 85,000 Americans annually potentially lose their jobs to foreign labor through the H-1B visa program.

Analysis conducted in 2018 discovered that 71 percent of tech workers in Silicon Valley, California, are foreign-born, while the tech industry in the San Francisco, Oakland, and Hayward area is made up of 50 percent foreign-born tech workers. Up to 99 percent of H-1B visa workers imported by the top eight outsourcing firms are from India.

TechNet’s listed immigration goals include allowing corporations to dictate the annual level of legal immigration to the United States and the elimination of per-country caps that would effectively let India and China monopolize the U.S. green card system.

The group’s goals on trade are in direct opposition to President Trump’s economic nationalist agenda that has imposed tariffs on foreign imports from China, Canada, Europe, and other parts of the globe.

TechNet’s trade goals include reducing “tariff and non-tariff barriers to information, communications, and advanced energy technology products, services, and investments” as well as “protections for the free flow of data across borders…”

While Biden has vowed to flood the U.S. labor market with more foreign workers to compete against Americans for jobs, he has shied away from questions on whether he will eliminate tariffs on foreign imports that were imposed by Trump. Such elimination of tariffs would be a boon to multinational corporations that offshore their production and jobs overseas only to import their products back into the U.S. market, often with no penalties for doing so.

Boeing Outsourcing Nearly 700 U.S. Jobs to India While Raking in Taxpayer Money via Ukraine War Packages

The Boeing Company is outsourcing nearly 700 white-collar American finance and human relations jobs to Bengaluru, India while securing millions more in United States tax dollars through congressionally-approved spending packages to support Ukraine in its war with Russia.

Last month, reports confirmed that Boeing is laying off roughly 2,000 American employees doing financial and human resources (HR) work. Almost 700 of their jobs will be outsourced to India through the multinational corporation’s contract with Tata Consulting Services (TCS), an outsourcing firm based in India.

TCS is responsible for an outsourcing-offshoring business model that widens profit margins for corporations like Boeing by sending American jobs to lower-wage countries like India. Typically, the model begins with TCS importing foreign H-1B visa workers to replace American professionals. Eventually, the jobs are wholly offshored to a foreign country, mainly India.

Boeing reportedly had hundreds of its American employees train their foreign replacements employed at TCS before laying them off. Late last year, Boeing laid off about 150 Americans in finance and HR and sent their jobs to India.

The Seattle Times reported:

Boeing employees trained Tata Consulting Services employees on that initial set of outsourced work, which TCS is scheduled to take over in the coming week. [Emphasis added]

Boeing now has about 3,500 direct employees in India and another 7,000 people in India employed at Boeing’s suppliers, including Tata Group. [Emphasis added]

The TCS non-engineering work for Boeing will be done at a new facility in Bengaluru, formerly known as Bangalore. [Emphasis added]

A spokesman for Boeing told Breitbart News that the layoffs are not specific to one particular location and focused on the corporation’s plans to hire 10,000 engineering and manufacturing employees though the locations of those hires are also unclear.

“We grew Boeing’s workforce by 15,000 last year and plan to hire another 10,000 employees this year with a focus on engineering and manufacturing,” the Boeing spokesman said:

As we have shared, we will also continue to simplify our corporate structure. We have and will continue to communicate transparently with our teams that we expect lower staffing within some corporate support functions so that we can focus our resources in engineering and manufacturing and directly supporting our products, services and technology development efforts. As always, we will support affected teammates and provide assistance and resources to support their transition.

Breitbart News reached out to TCS but did not receive a response.

Boeing’s latest move to outsource American jobs to India comes as the corporation has continued raking in millions from U.S. taxpayers through congressionally-approved spending packages to fund Ukraine in its war with Russia.

Last month, Congress and President Joe Biden’s administration approved $1.75 billion in taxpayer money that will go directly to defense contractors like Boeing, as well as General Dynamics and Raytheon.

Meanwhile, last year, Boeing scored a $5 billion contract with the federal government’s Missile Defense Agency. In 2019, the Defense Department remained Boeing’s largest customer as nearly $30 billion of its profits came from taxpayer-funded federal contracts — representing more than 30 percent of the company’s annual profits.

In addition to billions in Defense Department contracts, Boeing has profited immensely from tax cuts passed by Republicans in Congress in 2018. The GOP tax cuts saved the corporation about $1.1 billion — this after years of already paying relatively low taxes at an average federal tax rate of less than nine percent over ten years.

Boeing is one of Washington, DC’s, most powerful private entities as millions of dollars are spent on lobbying Republicans and Democrats on legislation that would benefit the corporation’s profit margins.

Last year, Boeing’s affiliated political action committee (PAC) gave nearly $1 million to House and Senate Democrats’ campaign committees and House and Senate Republicans’ campaign committees. Hundreds of thousands more in campaign cash was given directly to Republican and Democrat candidates alike.

Democrats Blame CEOs for Abuse of Biden’s Migrant Teenage Workforce

Thirteen Cuban illegal migrants worked as prostitutes to pay the cost of getting through President Joe Biden’s loose border, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told reporters in Florida.

The migrants “told to us that they were paying off their transportation debt, that they were being smuggled into the United States to have sex, that their family at home was being threatened if they didn’t come here and … pay off the debts,” Judd said. The women are “paying a ridiculous, horrible price,” he added.

In Connecticut, federal agents arrested two labor traffickers who smuggled Mexicans into jobs that would otherwise be held by better-paid Americans.

“In most cases, the victims were required to [pay roughly $12,000 and] turn over a property deed as collateral before leaving Mexico,” the Department of Justice said on March 2. Once the victims arrived in Hartford, [the alleged smugglers] informed them that they would have to pay $30,000, with interest, and that they would have to pay her for rent, food, gas and utilities,” the statement said.

But congressional Democrats and national media are not interested in the widespread and normalized labor and sexual abuse.

Instead, they are reacting to the February 25 publication of a New York Times‘ admission that said many companies are hiring migrant teenagers for tough and sometimes “brutal” jobs.


Congressional Democrats are reacting to the embarrassing report by scapegoating the companies which hired the migrant job-seeking teenagers that were delivered to their recruiters by Biden’s loose migration policies.

“We were deeply disturbed by a New York Times report that large numbers of unaccompanied noncitizen children are being placed with exploitative sponsors and working long hours in dangerous conditions,” said a March 3 letter sent by 16 Democratic Senators to President Joe Biden’s deputies.

The small fines imposed on companies for hiring U.S. or migrant children “are so low as to be a joke,” Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) told the New York Times. “This is a growing problem and a perennial problem. We are playing with fire as a nation,” he added.

Other pro-migration groups are using the teenage-worker scandal to claim that young migrants deserve aid, novel work permits, more social services, an amnesty, and to have their parents move to the United States. “Give People Legal Status!” said a tweet by the head of FWD.us, a pro-migration group founded by West Coast billionaire investors who gain from the inflow of foreign consumers, renters, and workers.

But those reactions are intended to shift blame from Biden who imported the much-abused workforce of young migrants.

“There’s this idea that these teenagers just walk through Mexico and show up at the Rio Grande [because] they’re fleeing persecution,” said Mark Krikorian, the director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “In fact, they’re smuggled into the United States” by cartel-affiliated coyotes, he said.

The smuggling route was created by a 2008 law. The law’s goal was to aid a small number of “Unaccompanied Alien Children” who were trafficked and abandoned migrants after working as prostitutes and abused labor. Congress did not offer work permits to the young migrants because they were expected to be few.

But that process is now used to smuggle hundreds of thousands of foreign teenagers to U.S. jobs. The workforce is delivered by a conveyor belt of migrants, coyotes, labor traffickers, border agencies, federal social workers, staffing companies, and international cash-transfer companies.

This smuggled teenage workforce is an open secret in Washington D.C. “Honestly, I think almost everyone in the system knows that most of the [migrant] teens are coming to work and send money back home,” Maria Woltjen, executive director and founder of the Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights, told a ProPublica reporter in 2020.

“The well-meaning policies …. have created an incentive for mass migration of teenagers,” said Krikorian, adding:

By increasing the chances that they will be let go into the United States and be able to work, they’ve created an incentive for more to come to work. In fact, all of them are smuggled, and that smuggling fee has to be paid off.

So the government is enticing [migrant] people to go into debt to pay smugglers. And so, of course, they’re going to be working at cleaning companies or packing Cheerios … What did [politicians] think was going happen?

More than 320,000 young migrants have arrived since Biden’s officials ended checks set by President Donald Trump. Roughly 75 percent of the UAC arrivals are male teenagers searching for jobs.

The establishment legislators and media outlets recognize — but downplay — the reality that the migrants need to work to repay the debts accepted to exploit federal 2008 law.

The March 3 letter by the 16 Democratic Senators admitted that some migrants “need” to work:

Unaccompanied noncitizen children who are old enough to work—like many U.S. citizen children—may want or need to work part-time in safe and appropriate workplaces, but they are particularly vulnerable [to exploitation] because they do not have work authorization.

The New York Times reporter, 

I checked in this week with one teenager who had been working in Grand Rapids making auto parts used by Ford and General Motors …  I caught him while he was driving. His company had fired all of the minors [after the New York Times article was posted], he said. But there was still work at another plant nearby. Then he told me he had to go — he had just arrived and his shift would be starting soon.

A March 3 follow-up story by the Washington Post focused on one 13-year-old migrant worker in Green Island, Nebraska:

Local prosecutor Sarah Hinrichs said she reviewed a March 2022 report about another 14-year-old girl who fell asleep in class after working the night shift cleaning the JBS [meatpacking] facility. In the 2022 case, the girl told authorities she was abused and forced to work for Packers to repay an $8,000 bill for smuggling her north from Guatemala.

Besides, migrants want to earn money for themselves. In a case described by the Post, a 14-year-old child said she applied for the job by herself:

The illegal migrant] mother, who has seven children, said she wanted the girl to focus on school. But the girl said she grew bored in Grand Island and last summer applied online for the job at Packers [sanitation company] so she could buy nice clothes and an iPhone 13.

“I like money,” the girl said with a shy smile during a recent interview in the family’s sparsely furnished living room, which is dominated by a large shrine to Jesus and the Virgin of Guadalupe. “I like to buy things.”

The establishment’s feigned protest about the teenagers serves as a smoke screen for the establishment’s reluctance to recognize its own creation of the problem.

Migration “is being allowed [and] encouraged” by the federal government, said Judd.

A lot of the [migrants] are just trying to get to the land of milk and honey. And as a result, they’ll be trafficked and then they get here and find out that it’s not just that you pay and go [to the city of your choice]. Now you’ve got to work it off. And when is it worked off? When you pay. When is enough [payment] enough? … You’re going to prostitute here.

If the federal government wanted to solve the problem it would stop the supply of migrants instead of trying to minimize the damage after their arrival, said Judd:

We don’t do what we need to do … I suggest to you that what we are doing with the immigration issue today is simply this: It’s like you go home this evening, and [discover] ‘Oh my gosh, a pipe is broken and I’ve got water all over the floor.’

The federal government has got water all over the floor and they’re in there trying to mop it up. At least they say they are.

But at the same time, the pipe is still pumping more water onto the floor. The first thing you do if you go home this evening and find a pipe is broken and you’ve got water on the floor is — you go find the source and turn the valve off. Then you mop up and you fix the problem.

In Washington, politicians and journalists are “saying the government has to clean up the floor, but they’re not paying any attention to the faucet,” said Krikorian:

They need to deal with that [faucet] because the root cause is the bad policy that is incentivizing illegal [teenage] immigration. If they deal with that, then the child-labor problem would be much smaller and way easier for government to deal with.

Bidne’s deputies, business groups, and progressives have little incentive to turn off the faucet, he said.

They’re saying that we have to let all these teenagers in, and if they end up being released by [a federal; agency] to bad circumstances, well, that means we need additional child-welfare bureaucrats. And if they end up working, then we need a bigger labor department bureaucracy — on top of what we already have to regulate child labor. All of this would be much more simply and effectively dealt with by reducing the incentives to sneak across the border in the first place.

Business groups gain because the UAC pipeline helps the illegal chain migration of families into the U.S. labor force.

Since January 2021, Biden’s deputies have allowed roughly 320,000 UACs into the United States, along with 1.2 million “gotaways who were allowed to sneak across the border, plus 800,000 people traveling in family groups, plus 1.2 million single adults.  That adds up to 3.5 million welcomed migrants since January 2001 — not counting the February 2023 arrivals. The huge inflow has delivered roughly 1 southern for every American birth in 2022.

GOP leaders have said little about the workplace and sexual abuse, and little about the thousands of deaths caused by Biden’s migration.

The journalists who cover the migrant misery dare not follow the problem back to the political faucet, he said:

To question the narrative that [the teenage migrants] are “fleeing persecution” would be to indict the whole Biden approach to immigration, and they just can’t do that. Whether it’s their editors saying “You’re not allowed to do that,” or — what I think is more likely — they’re just psychologically unable because that would mean they’d be helping Trump and they must not do that. They have to hide things, avoid addressing issues, and avoid asking questions — no matter what it takes — because they have to avoid being seen as helping Trump.

Instead, they are focusing on personal tragedies, not national policies. The Washington Post‘s March 3 article, for example, carried the headline “A cleaning company illegally employed a 13-year-old. Her family is paying the price.”

In contrast, Krikorian said, “the migrants are acting rationally …. they have to pay the bills each month, pay off their smugglers, feed their kids, and all the rest of it.”

“They are operating in the real world in a way that over-educated journalists are not,” he added.

Extraction Migration

The federal government has long operated an unpopular economic policy of Extraction Migration. This colonialism-like policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries, reduces beneficial trade, and uses the imported workers, renters, and consumers to grow Wall Street and the economy.

The migrant inflow has successfully forced down Americans’ wages and also boosted rents and  housing prices. The inflow has also pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors and contributed to the rising death rate of poor Americans.

The lethal policy also sucks jobs and wealth from heartland states by subsidizing coastal investors with a flood of low-wage workers, high-occupancy renters, and government-aided consumers.

The population inflow also reduces the political clout of native-born Americans, because it allows elites to divorce themselves from the needs and interests of ordinary Americans.

A 54 percent majority of Americans say Biden is allowing a southern border invasion, according to an August 2022 poll commissioned by the left-of-center National Public Radio (NPR). The 54 percent “Invasion” majority included 76 percent of Republicans, 46 percent of independents, and even 40 percent of Democrats.
