A war on local workers
Jan 10, 2025
The function of H-1B has not been to employ the "best and the brightest," but to replace American workers with lower-paid workers from abroad who often live as indentured servants.

The cheaper it is to hire guest workers, the more money billionaire owners of large corporations. https://t.co/nJ6kciQMAb
Yup. It's happening all over the West. In Canada, it's student visas (allowed to work 20 hours a week; used to be 40 hours!) or LMIAs (Labor Market Impact Assessment; employers pinky promise that they can't find any employee in the country. So, they get a foreign slave worker).
75% of the grocery and pharmacy workers in my area are Indians. I can often hear them, or worse smell them, before I see them. If an alien visited, he would think that Hindi and Punjabi are the two main languages of Canada. Local teenagers are not hired and, increasingly, older White workers are fired to make way for these Indians.
Just a few days ago, I went to an organic food grocery store. Three Indians behind the counter were chatting. A customer was ahead of me. One of them helped her at the register. Instead of providing service on the second counter, the other two Indians continued their inane conversation. Clowns!
