President Obama demands more global labor arbitrage of Professional Workers

What a surprise. Obama tries to claim that flooding the U.S. labor market with more guest workers and unlimited migration will create the next Intel corporation. That's pure fiction! Firstly, Andy Grove came over as a child and also under much more restrictive immigration laws than today. This means, Andy Grove was a product of America, the United States educational system, the United States venture capital system, the United States opportunities.

It has nothing to do with where Grove was physically born and everything to do with opportunities in the United States, a system to educate, give first level careers to, to give venture capital to....it's citizens.

Microsoft Outsources Tech Jobs to India

You can't make this stuff up folks. Microsoft literally offshore outsourced almost all of their internal I.T. department to Infosys in an estimated $100 million dollar deal. That's right, the people who supposedly make the software of the world offshore outsourced all of their technology infrastructure.

Even this Pro outsourcing site noted the increasing relationship between Microsoft and offshore outsourcing. Next time you see Microsoft proclaim a worker shortage or how the U.S. must import foreign guest workers instead of hiring Americans, this is the reason.

India Body Shop Infosys Guilty of Widespread Visa Fraud

It's no secret to any one working in the technology sector India offshore outsourcer Infosys abuses foreign guest worker visas, and labor arbitrages. After all, it's their business model.

Now, one lone consultant is trying to do something about it. He filed a whistle blower lawsuit due to the retaliation of Infosys after trying to do something about Infosys' brazen U.S. immigration law violations, all to displace U.S. labor through offshore outsourcing contracts. Here's what he was trying to expose:

An American employee of Infosys has filed a case against the Indian company accusing it of systematic visa and tax fraud to increase profits. In his 13-page complaint filed before an Alabama Court early this week, Jack Palmer alleged that Infosys sent lower level and unskilled foreigners to the US to work in full-time positions at its customer sites in direct violation of immigration laws.

Palmer, who says he worked for Infosys as "Principal - Enterprise Solutions" since August 2008, alleged that the company was paying these employees in India for full-time work in the US without withholding federal or state income taxes, and overbilled customers for the labour costs of these employees.

Silicon Valley Discriminatory Hiring Practices

It's about time people protested Silicon valley's discriminatory hiring practices.

Silicon Valley high tech firms are on the hot seat over accusations that they're not hiring enough minorities. Three non-profit groups targeted Google for a protest because it wouldn't provide a breakdown of its workforce by race or ethnicity.

India Thinks People are Something to Trade - Wants to Take U.S. to WTO over Guest Worker Visas

India insists people are something to trade and since India doesn't like U.S. law, they believe they can sue the United States and override our immigration laws via the WTO. Yes, that's right, they want to drag the United States in front of the WTO over the increases in H-1B and L-1 Guest worker Visas fees:

India may drag the United States to the World Trade Organization , or WTO, over its decision to raise professional visa fees for an extended period and impose a 2% import levy on goods and services sold to the US government, a senior official has said.

Offshore Outsourcing Causing Jobless Recovery for Tech Workers Until 2014

Despite the political and media code of silence on outsourcing while the United States American worker slips deeper and deeper into poverty, we have a new study showing 1.1 million I.T. jobs were offshore outsourced in 2008 alone and another 1.3 million will be gone by 2014.

Think Progress has finally exposed the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as being anything but American. In ‘U.S.’ Chamber Of Commerce Funded By Top Offshoring Companies:

The Chamber’s anti-American jobs agenda serves not only the profit-seeking of right-wing corporate executives in the United States, but also works to send jobs overseas to the following outsourcing companies, who are some of the dozens of foreign corporations that pay member dues to the Chamber of Commerce’s 501c(6) account, which is used to fund its political ads:

Andy Grove Gets It - What it Takes to Create U.S. jobs

Former Intel CEO Andy Grove is not someone who comes to mind when calling for action on U.S. jobs. Under his watch, Intel displaced U.S. workers with foreign guest workers, labor arbitraged, underpaid salaries, age discriminated and offshore outsourced manufacturing and jobs in droves. Their corporate culture was so notoriously vile, they even had their own personal protester, warning anyone who would listen to not work at Intel.

What happened I have no idea but Andy Grove just wrote the most specific and dynamite article, How America Can Create Jobs. He actually knows how to create high paying jobs because at one time Intel on it's path to the world's dominant computer processor maker, actually did manufacture in the United States.
