Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy Face Backlash from MAGA Movement for Not Only Backing But Offering More Visas to Foreign-Born Skilled Workers

Oh contraire!!! He is your boss now.

Nope. I just fired Soros though.

High skilled labor use O-1 visas. H-1b Visas are not the next Einstein's.

You mean like scientists? (O-1)

Loomer is an anti-Christian war monger. Elon and Vivek are of course 100% right. All Trump supporters are for legal immigration.

Talking about bringing on intelligent people to America that’s what’s called a no-brainer.


Elon and Vivek as they are traditional and masculine and anti-woke will prevail over Loomer, who is a disgrace.

If Vivek is saying such things, he is over in politics. He will never be able to dig himself out of that hole.

No the left-wing media is attempting to completely make up what musk and Vivek are doing. We cannot let them succeed. Loomer is a warmonger. She is an anti-Christian. Just look at her background, the last type of person one wants to support.

Make it against the law to replace an American worker with an H1B at lower pay

If they do the fired American can bring charges against the company

I think that it is already a violation of one of the rules to replace an American worker with an H-1B worker at lower pay.
However I'm fairly sure that there is not a cause of action written into the rules regulating this area (in the case of violation) nor do the rules define any statutory damages:

Your observation touches on a significant issue within the H-1B visa program: the displacement of American workers by H-1B employees at lower wages. While current regulations aim to prevent such practices, enforcement challenges and legal limitations persist.​

​

Current Regulations:​

​

Employers hiring H-1B workers must file a Labor Condition Application (LCA) with the Department of Labor (DOL), attesting that:​

​

• Wages: H-1B employees will receive at least the prevailing wage for the position in the geographic area.
• Working Conditions: Employment of H-1B workers will not adversely affect the working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.
• Notice: The employer has notified current employees of the intent to hire an H-1B worker.

These attestations are designed to protect U.S. workers from unfair displacement.​

​

Wikipedia​

​

Enforcement and Legal Recourse:​

​

Despite these regulations, enforcement can be inconsistent. The DOL primarily relies on complaints to initiate investigations, and resources for proactive enforcement are limited.​

​

Regarding private rights of action, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) does not provide a direct cause of action for U.S. workers to sue employers over H-1B violations. Enforcement authority rests with federal agencies like the DOL. This means that while displaced American workers can file complaints with the DOL, they cannot directly sue employers for damages resulting from such displacement.​

​

Proposed Changes:​

​

Introducing legislation that explicitly prohibits replacing American workers with H-1B employees at lower wages, coupled with a private cause of action and defined statutory damages, could enhance enforcement. Such measures would:​

​

• Deterrence: Increase the potential consequences for employers considering circumventing fair labor practices.
• Empowerment: Provide displaced workers with a direct means to seek redress.
• Accountability: Encourage more diligent compliance with H-1B regulations.

Implementing these changes would require legislative action by Congress to amend the INA and related labor laws.​

​

Conclusion:​

​

While current H-1B regulations aim to prevent the displacement of American workers by lower-paid foreign employees, gaps in enforcement and the absence of a private right of action limit their effectiveness. Legislative reforms introducing explicit prohibitions and providing displaced workers with legal recourse could strengthen protections for U.S. workers.​

The H-1B program, like all government programs is a bust, it must be torn down and overhauled.
We shouldn’t be importing 7-Eleven clerks under H-1B.

We have plenty of skilled workers here. It's having to pay a good wage that corporate powers seem to dislike.

 

[Gracie]

Musk and Vivek need to take a huge step back and Trump step forward. He's not even in office yet, but those two are sure taking over what is going to be done, what will be done, etc.

Most were and are relieved Trump won. But after 4 years of the current administration, things are seen with paranoia that may be warranted...or not. But those two need to STFU for awhile.

We have skilled workers right here that were born here. We don't need MORE people coming over.

The H-1B Immigration Debate: A Clash of Worlds and Values


Andrew Torba, December 27, 2024



The debate surrounding H-1B visas and legal immigration has ignited a fiery discourse online this week, exposing a chasm that exists between two fundamentally different worldviews and value systems. The recently-turned-MAGA-five-minutes-ago corner of the Silicon Valley elite, men who champion the post-Enlightenment mindset that views nations as mere “corporations” or “sports teams,” find themselves at odds with a growing movement of American citizens that yearns for a deeper, more meaningful connection to their people, place, and God.

We are told by Elon Musk and his band of Silicon Valley foreigner friends that America must import more foreigners, “legally” of course, in order to win! “Winning” is not defined outside of making shareholder value go up and increasing the GDP or something. If your home is destroyed and turned into a third-world slum in the process of “winning,” well that’s just the cost of doing business. If you can’t afford to buy a home or start a family while foreigners live like kings when they return home and arbitrage our currency for their own, well that’s just a downside of “progress.”

These guys have been getting dragged in the comment sections for days on this topic by the American people who are sick and tired of being cast aside for foreign labor in our own country. In response, Elon and his friends have alluded to Americans being “lazy” “unskilled” and even “retarded.” After substantial pushback in the comment sections all over his own platform, Elon announced that the algorithm on X would be changing to combat this rising tide of dissent. X also started removing verification badges and locking out accounts that have been pushing back on the call for more “legal” replacement of our people. This has caused a flood of X users to join the Gab community in recent days and we welcome them with open arms to experience both freedom of speech and freedom of reach that our platform has to offer.

Oh wow, I forgot we're in the same state. I'll try to locate the card I received from his office and draft something hopefully before the end of the year. I'll send you a copy if you want to use it as a template unless you want to write your own.

Good idea, thanks!
