New Study Confirms H-1B and L-1 just cheap labor,offshore outsourcing conduit, not about immigration
Submitted by mayday on Mon, 02/22/2010 - 12:39A new study has been put out by EPI that proves foreign guest workers are all about cheap labor, technology transfer and not about immigration into the U.S.
In Bridge to Immigration or Temporary Cheap Labor?, we have these reasons corporations are busy using foreign guest workers.
The Joe Stack Suicide Note - What is he talking about?
Submitted by mayday on Thu, 02/18/2010 - 16:33Firstly, this post is not to endorse, condone, encourage or other such stuff as violence, suicide, murder-suicide, homicide, rampages or screwing with the IRS. If you do that you are out of your mind, hurting the cause you wish to bring to light and are just plain an idiot.

Poor Silicon Valley might have to hire Americans, God forbid, people over 35!
Submitted by mayday on Fri, 02/12/2010 - 01:19A new report screams and cries on how foreigners are not flooding the region in 2009.
Silicon Valley is no longer able to attract the foreign talent which has been its "lifeblood" and funding innovation through locally raised venture capital and public offerings "can no longer be taken as a given," the report said.

Silicon Valley 2000-2008 : 20% job loss, 13.5% Depressed Wages
Submitted by mayday on Thu, 02/04/2010 - 19:57The BLS has issued new report on Silicon valley employment. Bear in mind this report is before this recession.
In 2000 silicon valley had 544,387 techie jobs. By 2004, the California region tech hub had an official drop of 26% to 403,994 high technology jobs.
Now check out the pathetic growth after that. By 2008 the California Bay area had 435,958 technology jobs. That is 20% below the 2000 employment levels.
2002, the year of offshore outsourcing, the area lost 60% of the jobs.

India trying to make H-1B workers cheaper by not paying U.S. social security
Submitted by admin on Wed, 01/20/2010 - 10:54This is yet another astounding move by India. They are trying to claim H-1B and L-1 guest workers shouldn't pay social security on some nebulous claims they are not in the U.S. permanently.
The [India] government has been pursuing the social security agreement — that will allow Indians working under short-term contracts in the US to secure exemption from contributing to the American social security system.

While Americans Go Without Jobs, India's Offshore Outsourcing Business is Booming
Submitted by admin on Tue, 01/19/2010 - 17:08While Americans go without jobs, India's offshore outsourcing business is booming. In Technology companies are aggressively hiring as business prospects improve, we can see just how many American companies are creating jobs....in India.
Accenture will add 8,000 in India this year alone. That’s a 20% increase. Honeywell will also add 1,000 jobs....again, not in the United States, but in India.

Did you know it's Slavery Prevention Month?
Submitted by mayday on Fri, 01/15/2010 - 11:08How many even know it was Human Trafficking Prevention Month?
Well, it is and a story on H-1B being used as a human trafficking tool is how I even became aware of it.
A case that brought human trafficking to light in the Bay Area was the case of Lakireddy Bali Reddy, a Berkeley landlord convicted in 2001 for immigration fraud and trafficking minors for illegal sexual activity.
Did you know offshore outsourcing is now called "virtual immigration"?
Submitted by admin on Thu, 12/31/2009 - 03:07If you would like to read a disgusting report, check out the Dallas Fed. Literally they are calling offshore outsourcing virtual immigration.
The report shows that offshore outsourcing of our jobs just continued while there has been some minor relief on guest workers (which the Dallas Fed claims are just foreign born workers) a tad while the unemployment rate is in double digits.
