AMERICA'S ROAD TO REVOLUTION
“Our entire crony capitalist
system, Democrat and Republican alike, has become a kleptocracy approaching par
with third-world hell-holes. This is the way a great country is raided by
its elite.” ---- Karen McQuillan THE

Pew Research Shows How OPT Undercuts American Workers

Excerpt: The Pew Research Center has issued a report called, aptly, "More foreign grads of U.S. colleges are staying in the country to work", and thanks to its author, Neil Ruiz, we find a host of factoids about how the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program for foreign students ballooned under the Obama administration, as the result of rules apparently put in place at the end of the Bush administration.
The facts assembled in this report tell us, among other things, that "The annual number of OPT approvals rose from 28,497 in fiscal 2008 to 136,617 in fiscal 2014, a nearly fivefold increase." (Emphasis added.)
What's more, "Nearly as many people are approved for the OPT program as receive H-1B visas. ... From fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2014, 768,214 H-1B visas were awarded, compared with 696,914 OPT approvals." (Emphasis added.) Think of it this way: Between the two programs, that represents nearly 1.5 million jobs farmed out to nonimmigrant aliens in a four-year span.
Although nominally OPT jobs are temporary, as the report notes, they can last up to 29 months — more than two years. Many Americans work on yearly contracts; many have no contracts at all. What un- or under-employed American who recently graduated from college wouldn't want a shot at these jobs, many of which are in well-paid technical fields?
OBAMA-CLINTONOMICS

The new reports show that in addition to
“traditional” coping strategies of skipping meals and eating cheap food, these
teens and pre-teens are increasingly forced into shoplifting, stealing, selling
drugs, joining a gang, or selling their bodies for money in a struggle to eat
properly.

AMERICA THE HOME OF THE HOMELESS:
OBAMA-CLINTONOMICS AT WORK!
"The decline in homeownership is one sign of the deep
social crisis in the United States. As rents and housing costs have
soared, spurred on by financial speculation that has enriched the
ruling elites, incomes and jobs for most Americans have shriveled."

THE CLINTON “JOBS” PLAN ENDORSED BY NARCOMEX – IT’S CALLED
AMNESTY!
Clinton, in the guise of a “jobs” and “infrastructure” program,
promoted yet another scheme to hand out tax cuts and other incentives for
companies to hire workers at poverty-level wages, with the trade unions brought
in to keep the workers in line in return for a cut in the spoils.

“This study follows
reports released over the past several months

leveling off of life expectancy, and a growing gap between the life

those at the top.”

While the declining job market in the United States may be
discouraging some would-be border crossers, a flow of illegal

unabated, with many entering the United

Immigration Hawks to DHS: H-2B Expansion ‘Shows Contempt for Forgotten Americans’
A pro-American employee organization is asking Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary John Kelly to not expand a visa program that outsources blue-collar jobs.
Last week, Kelly appeared to cave on the issue of H-2B visas, telling senators that he would “likely” supply the big business lobby with more low-skilled foreign guest workers, as they continue making unfounded claims about a “worker shortage,” Breitbart Texas reported.
The H-2B visa is for non-agricultural, low-skilled seasonal work, supplying resorts, hotels and the seafood and landscaping industry with thousands of cheap, foreign employees. Every year, 66,000 H-2B jobs are given and this year, House Speaker Paul Ryan’s 2017 budget gave Kelly the power to expand the number by up to 70,000 more.
NumbersUSA, which advocates for less immigration to increase wages and job opportunities for Americans, is requesting Kelly to stick to President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda.
NumbersUSA’s Vice President Anne Manetas wrote to Kelly:
On behalf of our 8 million activists across the nation, I am writing to express our concerns with the increase in H-2B visas for FY2017 authorized by Congress through the Omnibus appropriations bill last month. There is simply no evidence of a labor shortage, especially among the most vulnerable American workers, to necessitate this increase.This action by Congress shows contempt for the forgotten Americans who suffered most during the recent recession — the very Americans President Trump pledged to protect on the campaign trail. Data from the American Community Survey for the first quarter of 2017 show that more than 50% of Americans of working age (18-65) without a high school degree are not in the labor force. The situation is only slightly better for those with no more than a high school degree. Further, the Economic Policy Institute reported that from 2004-2014, wages were stagnant or declining in all of the top 15 H-2B employment occupations. For example, in FY2014, landscaping companies were approved for more than 30,000 H-2 visas despite unemployment in landscaping being more than twice the national average. If there were truly a worker shortage, wages would have increased and more low-skilled Americans would be in the labor force.Reports have also shown a history of abuse within the H-2B visa program. In FY2014, the Labor Department identified violations in 82% of the cases it investigated. And a recent study by the Government Accountability Office found a high frequency of complaints involving H-2B workers, including low pay, long hours, wrongful termination, hazardous working conditions, and verbal and physical abuse, among other things. H-2B employers take advantage of the weak oversight to keep labor costs down and profits high.
For the last few weeks, the big business lobby, along with pro-immigration groups, have been lobbying Kelly to expand the H-2B visa, as well as members of Congress.
As Breitbart Texas previously reported, stagnant wages coupled with an unemployment rate of more than 5 percent, counting unemployed Americans and those no longer looking for work, indicates the harm done by foreign guest worker programs like the H-2B visa.
Wages in the top 15 H-2B jobs in the U.S. have been stagnant or slightly decreased over the last decade, according to analysis by Economic Policy Institute (EPI).
