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.

GAO Reports H-1B Visa Program Needs Reforms

The General Accountability Office released a new report, H-1B Visa Program: Reforms Are Needed to Minimize the Risks and Costs of Current Program.

Oh Look, Yet Another Corporate Think Tank Trying to Undermine U.S. Immigration Law

What a surprise. The absurdity of India trying to claim a few fees for H-1B guest worker Visas is covered under trade law is finding a new friend to spin their agenda.

Infomation Week names the lobbyist think tank's latest propaganda, parading around as a study, That is the National Foundation for American Policy. Mark it, remember it and realize now their white papers are as yellow as pee in snow.

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.

We Could Use More of This, Company Barred from H-1B Program

Reducing the Potential for H-1B Abuse

In any type of war, it’s very important to identify the enemy and their supporters.
 
In the war against global labor arbitrage, we have multi-fronts, one is comprised of foreign employers who have broken through our borders and are granted temporary work visas to facilitate offshore outsourcing. A second front is a beachhead comprised of semi-domestic labor brokers, concentrated in the skilled labor occupations, who provide the logistical supply-line for the enemy.
