A 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.

Firstly, 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. You're also taking out external problems on yourself and others causing great suffering of innocent people. Do not go there, ever, ok?

If you're a techie and you got wiped out financially:

A new report screams and cries on how foreigners are not flooding the region in 2009.

Associated Press:

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.

The 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.

How 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.
