This is the biggest reason I like Trump, and with Sanders classless reaction to Trumps offer to debate, I think Trump is head and shoulders above Sanders as the best man for the Presidency.

The H1-B visa program is being abused to steal jobs from Americans and give them to imported Thrid World serfs. This must end now.

To keep the H-1B program under wraps, the political class have quietly used policy to make the data about the program even more difficult to assess. Take the bizarre 2014 edict by the Department of Labor about H-1B data as reported by ComputerWorld:

In a notice posted last week, the U.S. Department of Labor said that records used for labor certification, whether in paper or electronic, “are temporary records and subject to destruction” after five years, under a new policy.

There was no explanation for the change, and it is perplexing to researchers. The records under threat are called Labor Condition Applications (LCA), which identify the H-1B employer, worksite, the prevailing wage, and the wage paid to the worker.

Yes: the policy actually destroys the electronic records that would be used for research into the H-1B program.

Of course, the policy barely made a blip in the political media but the article in ComputerWorld exposes the problem, including the fact that the data in question takes up very little space.

The cost of storage can’t be an issue for the government’s $80 billion IT budget: A full year’s worth of LCA data is less than 1GB.

The change in retention policy was approved last year by the National Archives and Records Administration, but this action appears to have escaped notice until the Labor Department posted a note (See Oct. 17 note titled “H-1B legacy records no long available.”)

LCA records are used by people on all sides of the H-1B issue, and their research usually goes beyond five years. The H-1B visa itself is for six years, with one renewal after three years.

Norm Matloff, a computer science professor at the University of California at Davis and an H-1B visa researcher and critic, said he doesn’t understand the government’s action.

“Paper records, sure, but electronic?” Matloff said.

When ComputerWorld asked the Department of Labor to explain, they got no response.

So not only is the Political Class stealing our jobs but they are trying to destroy the evidence of its effects, conditions and methods. These thieves have no doubts that what they are doing is immoral and would outrage the public so they are destroying the evidence.
 
So now we have the GOP which approves of the govt. telling business how it can conduct business...yet they bitch about regulations....
 
The crony capitalist/big government boys want the establishment, either party would do.

The Crony Capitalist Network controls DC and its political establishment.

We need term limits and a fast judiciary process to put politicians on trial for corruption and bring expedited sentences of them.

They will bitch about regulations no matter what. It is a tactic increasingly devoid of substance, though in many particular instances it is a genuine problem, but the problems are designed to be difficult for small business and a mere speed bump for multinational corporations.

It's all about how you word it...
