This. As someone who works professionally in the IT field, 100% of our consultants that my supervisors/managers have hired are *all* Indians/Indian immigrants (H1B, of course) because of cheap labor.

Quite frankly, I feel like I am in India every day I'm at work, for fuck's sake...I'm not in America.

Exactly!

Also, I want to emphasize the dark nature of the H1B visa system - indentured servitude. As an H1B holder you cannot start your own company. So even the small minority of Indians who are on H1B visas and are superstars can't start their own companies and create jobs for native Americans. It's an absolute scam that hurts everyone except the 2nd tier college grads from India who wouldn't have made it otherwise to the US and large corporations like Facebook. Why do Facebook and Google love H1Bs - because these guys can't leave and start their own companies. And that's probably the biggest threat these companies face - their own employees quitting and starting their own tech startups.

I want to go on record that I'll be on an H1B visa soon and I fucking hate it. I will become an indentured servant for 3-6 years, if not more and wait for 20+ years to become an American citizen, because I have to wait in line behind these fucks from shitty Indian colleges. And in all that time I will not be allowed to start my own company and create jobs. So all this nonsense the liberals and the tech elite shout about regarding immigrants being job creators...yeah BULLSHIT.

And while you're waiting for a greencard, illegals will be given free citizenship if Hillary is elected.

That is fucking bull shit. Laws written for the sole benefit of Google, Facebook, Apple, and no one else. I bet their contracts even say if they work on any project outside of work those companies still own their ideas.

If I was in Silicon Valley and had a nice bankroll I would actively seek out those H1B workers and work behind the scenes deals with them to give they shares/ownership in their ideas. Fuck Google, Facebook, Apple, etc. and our fucking politicians for screwing vulnerable people to further enrich themselves.

Obama HATES Americans

Immigration Reform 2016: Obama Administration New H-1B Visa Rule Helps High-Skilled Foreign Workers
BY CRISTINA SILVA @CRISTYMSILVA ON 12/31/15 AT 1:34 PM
http://www.ibtimes.com/immigration-refor...ed-2246044

The Obama administration is helping some high-skilled, foreign workers remain in the country without being tied to their employers. The Department of Homeland Security announced Thursday new rules that would allow certain visa holders to switch jobs more easily while waiting for a green card, The Hill reported.

The White House said the 181-page proposal would help resolve a massive visa backlog. It would also allow workers under the H-1B high-skilled temporary visa program waiting to become permanent residents to stay beyond the six-year limit of the H-1B program. The U.S. has limits on how many work visas can be granted each year.

“Simply put, many workers in the immigrant visa process are not free to consider all available employment and career development opportunities,” DHS said in the proposed rules.

The visa delays can leave foreign workers, mainly those in China and India looking to work in tech jobs, waiting for as many as 10 years to obtain the proper documents. “In many instances, these individuals are in the United States in a nonimmigrant, employer-specific temporary worker category and may be unable to accept promotions or otherwise change jobs or employers without abandoning their existing efforts — including great investments of time and money — to become permanent residents,” the agency said.

But critics called the new rule, on which the public has 60 days to comment formally, a gross expansion of U.S. immigration law. “Obama has gone the 'Full Monty' to bust the immigration system,” immigration lawyer John Miano told conservative site Breitbart. “What is going on is he is effectively giving green cards to people on H-1B visas who are unable to get green cards due to the [annual] quotas. … It could be over 100,000.”

A legal analysis of the rule conducted by Hunton & Williams LLP in New York found H-1B visa holders would benefit from an unlimited number of three-year extensions on permits until a green card application is either approved or denied.

<Phantom> Protections for U.S. workers[edit]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-1B_visa

In 2016, The Washington Post fact checked presidential hopeful, and Gang of Eight immigration panel member, Senator Marco Rubio's statement made concerning the H-1B visa, “It is illegal now under that program [H-1B visa] to use it to replace American workers. Under that program, you have to prove not only that you’re not replacing Americans, but that you’ve tried to hire Americans. And if a company is caught abusing that process, they should never be allowed to use it again.”[38]

Rubio is completely misinformed about the existence of a recruitment requirement and partially misinformed about a "no replacement" stipulation. Noting that the Department of Labor, Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security declined to investigate the direct replacement of workers with H-1B personnel at Southern California Edison and others[39]

The Post found that a loophole in the regulations protecting U.S. workers from labor arbitrage exists for firms who are deemed H-1B Dependent (minimum 51 employees with minimum 15 percent being H-1B). For these firms, H-1B personnel who hold graduate degrees, or those earning the equivalent of $60,000 per year, are exempt from displacement provisions.[38]

First off, I am not an immigration lawyer; so this is not immigration advise. If you want to know your exact options you should inform yourself by studying the law (and consulting a lawyer is not a bad idea either.) With that said, you can start your own company; as a foreign national you have two options: C Corp and LLCs; however for immigration purposes a C Corp is the way to go (I believe ... consult a lawyer for the little details.) At least, as of a few years ago, if you hired a minimum of six citizens you can be on the highway to your green card much faster than via the H1B street (or invest 500K.) However, the law might have changed in the past five-six years. The idea is that nothing impedes you from creating your company and start doing your thing on the side. The worst that can happen is that you can fail and still have your visa.

This post is a warning to all, this is happening under our noses and has been for years.

The media in my local town has all but covered this incident up, the one TV station that does report on it refuses to use the "S" word as usual. They do show it on the screen, but can't bring themselves to say it.

Link to article: Link

Quote:

A mob of up to 30 young Somali men paraded through one of Minneapolis’ more upscale neighborhoods last week, yelling disparaging comments and threats against homeowners.

A female resident of the neighborhood, obviously shaken in a TV interview, related how she was screamed at by a Somali man who threatened to kidnap and rape her.

“They were screaming at the house that they were going to kidnap you and they were going to rape you,” one Minneapolis resident told KSTP TV. “It was a very traumatizing experience.”

Somalis living in Minneapolis are almost all Sunni Muslims, and residents of the Lake Calhoun area say this isn’t the first time a group of Somali men has made an intimidating march through their neighborhood, which is filled with million-dollar homes.

No hate-crime charges are apparently being considered by either the Minnesota authorities or the Obama Justice Department headed by Loretta Lynch.

Police were called to the scene on June 28 about 9:30 a.m. and are investigating the incident as a potential case of terroristic threats. No arrests have been made, and the Minneapolis media appear to be largely uninterested in reporting on the mob threats.

According to a Minneapolis police report, between 20 and 30 young Somali men showed up in front of a woman’s house about 9:30 in the morning and started shouting insults. “The comments turned to threats,” the report said.

I've been dealing with this crap ever since I moved to this area of Minneapolis. Multiple times I've had to escort women home as they're being stalked and harassed by these idiots. I've been robbed at gunpoint (CCW holder now) by them. I've had to sit at restaurants as they order tons of food, then claim that they aren't responsible for the bill. The police of course do nothing about any of these issues here. As is the case with this story, no charges will be filed.

The real topper was the last elections. I had the pleasure of having my polling location as "The Horn Towers". It's a set of apartment towers where they shack up all of these people on the tax payers dime. The neighborhood refers to them as "The Somali Towers", sounds like a friendly place you'd wanna execute your American right to vote right? The kicker was, the polling location was in the basement of this place. After following the "Vote here" signs I was directed to a locked door with no indication of how to enter. A couple of other voters and myself had to bang on the door until one of the "residents" in full hi-jab allowed us in.

@Plus Outre, thanks for the advice. I'll definitely look into it once I start the immigration process. There may be some ways I can pull it off. Though the fact I need to go through an immigration lawyer to find any tiny loophole shows how convoluted the system is.

But I think you hit the nail on the head: you need a successful business from the get-go. Either have $500K or employ 6 people, either one requires a serious investment. I've looked into some of the visas available for business owners, most do not ever lead to a green card. So you're in a permanent state of "shit, if I fail I get deported". I have a friend whose parents own their own company. They're still not American citizens yet. That's sad, he was afraid he couldn't get a job in 2009 and would get deported. Only reason he stayed in the country is because he ended up going to grad school to stay on a student visa. Make no mistake. Security in the form of a green card is a real concern. Saying you can start a company in the US but won't lead to a green card is disappointing to say the least.

My general idea regarding a business was the idea of doing something on the side, making money and then in 3-5 years possibly expanding the workforce and getting capital investment. This is not allowed on an H1B visa as far as I know. Heck, I might just want to start my own consulting gig. Am I really going to hire more than 2-3 people in the first years?

To pull this off, you need a large amount of resources to effectively have a successful business from day one. Can you imagine telling Jeff Bezos he needs to be successful from day one? It's a very high bar they've set for immigrant business owners and founders.

What I'm proposing is that if you really want the smartest and highest-skilled people to thrive and create jobs in this country, you need to give them more freedom. It doesn't have to be right away, but maybe after 5 years it can be "OK, you've made over half a million dollars in salary, you're well integrated. Here's. Green card, you STEM PhD bastard. Go do what you want."

I have tons of friends who are immigrants (18-35y). I can't think of one who has started a company. On the other hand, some of my American friends have started their own companies (irrespective of how stupid some of their ideas are). None of my immigrant friends ever say: "I have this app idea or this business idea. I'm going to work on it for the next year and see where it goes." Again, because the risk is real. Company fails and you might end up deported. It is absolutely terrifying to consider an option that might force you out of the country I'd things don't work out - deportation is not a risk most people have to concern themselves when starting a company.

They like to tout Elon Musk as an example of a 1st gen immigrant. Yet conveniently forget he was a Canadian citizen and that gave him a whole lot more freedom that if he was a South African citizen. Had he not been a Canadian, I doubt he would've done all the things he did. Probably would've remained in his PhD program at Stanford and wouldve worked a decade before getting his green card.

If Congress/liberals/tech companies really wanted us to start our companies and create American jobs, they wouldn't have the restrictions they have right now.

Thomas Jefferson on Islam in a letter to John Jay in the days before spin:

Quote:

We took the liberty to make some inquiries concerning the Grounds of their pretentions to make war upon Nations who had done them no Injury, and observed that we considered all mankind as our friends who had done us no wrong, nor had given us any provocation.

The Ambassador answered us that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet,1 that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.

That it was a law that the first who boarded an Enemy’s Vessell should have one slave, more than his share with the rest, which operated as an incentive to the most desperate Valour and Enterprise, that it was the Practice of their Corsairs to bear down upon a ship, for each sailor to take a dagger in each hand and another in his mouth, and leap on board, which so terrified their Enemies that very few ever stood against them, that he verily believed the Devil assisted his Countrymen, for they were almost always successful. We took time to consider and promised an answer, but we can give him no other, than that the demands exceed our Expectations, and that of Congress, so much that we can proceed no further without fresh instructions.

Update on the migrant rape case of the little girl in Idaho. Two perpetrators are still free and roaming around. They raped the girl with a knife and there was a video of it.

This caught my eye

Quote:

The court hearing Thursday was a circus. The family of two of the alleged attackers appeared (the seven-year-old and ten-year-old); the alleged rapists’ father came with three Muslim women, one of whom was likely the mother of the seven-year-old attacker. A Muslim interpreter was on hand via telephone and was translating the proceedings for the Muslim parents.

In other legal cases, Muslim interpreters have been accused of exercising undue influence over the proceedings, often at the expense of victims. One Muslim woman who was raped wrote this in a suicide note to her attorney: “Everything I told you then is true… But the interpreter there told me that a faithful woman must not use words like sex and rape. Words like that would dishonor my husband and our family. She also said that I was a blasphemer, because I went to the police. No woman should report her own husband. The husband must be honored.”

Somalis in other states supported her, including Washington state and Ohio.

The major difference to the old-style immigration is that the first allegiance should be to the system of the USA - being proud of being an American now - even if you were from Ireland, Germany or Sweden.

Now the neo-marxist system encourages them to retain their original culture and despise the American one.

Report: Illegal Migrants from Terror-Linked Countries Surging at Southern Border

Quote:

by EDWIN MORA
18 Aug 2016

U.S. officials are trying to establish closer cooperation with various Latin American nations to combat an increase in the number of illegal migrants from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East attempting to sneak into the United States.
Between October 2015 and May 2016, the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency, a component of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), detained 5,350 African and Asian migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border, according to Reuters.

The apprehensions of illegals from Africa and Asia during that period marks an increase from those that took place in all of 2015 (4,261) and 2014 (1,831).

In its report, Reuters highlighted attempted entries into the U.S. by individuals from Pakistan, Syria, and Afghanistan, which the U.S. considers to be terrorism-linked countries.

Most countries considered by the U.S. government to be linked to terrorism are located in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. American border authorities are trying to stop the illegal migrants at the Mexico border with Guatemala, before they reach the United States.

Reuters reports:

U.S. agents deployed to an immigration facility on Mexico’s southern border have vetted the more than 640 migrants from countries outside the Americas who have been detained at the center since October 2015, according to U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) documents reviewed by Reuters…

The U.S. agents’ findings come as Mexican immigration data show 6,342 Asian, African and Middle Eastern migrants were apprehended trying to enter Mexico in the first six months of this year. That was up from 4,261 in all of 2015, and 1,831 in 2014.

U.S. border apprehensions point to the same trend. Between October 2015 and May 2016, U.S. agents apprehended 5,350 African and Asian migrants at the U.S. Southwest border. That’s up from 6,126 in all of fiscal year 2015 and 4,172 in all of fiscal year 2014.

“The reality is that the vast majority of the people that Mexico encounters that are extra-continental will eventually end up on our border,” an unnamed official from CBP, told Reuters.

The Reuters report came soon after Central American authorities dismantled a human trafficking network dedicated to smuggling illegal migrants into the United States from terror-linked countries in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

Moreover, the top American military official in Latin America and the Caribbean, U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) chief Navy Adm. Kurt W. Tidd, recently warned that there are various networks in his area of responsibility that specialize in trafficking illegals into the United States from countries affiliated with terrorism.

He noted that both the Shiite Lebanese terror group Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy, and the Sunni Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) are known to operate in the region.

Reuters points out:

Washington is seeking closer coordination with several Latin American countries to tackle a jump in migrants from Asia, Africa and the Middle East who it believes are trying to reach the United States from the south on an arduous route by plane, boat and through jungle on foot…

The migrants often fly to Brazil, obtain fake passports there, and are smuggled to Panama before heading through Central America to Mexico’s porous southern border, according to transcripts of 14 interviews conducted at the center and other internal briefing documents seen by Reuters…

U.S. concerns about potential security risks from migrants using the unusual and circuitous southern route have been growing in recent years, following a string of Islamic State-inspired attacks in the West and the surge in Syrian refugees fleeing that country’s civil war.

Breitbart Texas previously released leaked documents from CBP showing that hundreds of individuals from 75 countries outside the Americas, including some compromised by terrorist organizations, were attempting to sneak into the United States through the southern border.

How America's Polygamy Ban Blocked Muslim Immigration



A hundred years ago, Muslims were furious over an immigration bill whose origins lay with advocacy by a headstrong and loudmouthed Republican in the White House.

The anti-immigration bill offended the Ottoman Empire, the rotting Caliphate of Islam soon to be defeated at the hands of America and the West, by banning the entry of “all polygamists, or persons who admit their belief in the practice of polygamy.”

This, as was pointed out at the time, would prohibit the entry of the “entire Mohammedan world” into the United States.

And indeed it would.

The battle had begun earlier when President Theodore Roosevelt had declared in his State of the Union address back in 1906 that Congress needed to have the power to “deal radically and efficiently with polygamy.” The Immigration Act of 1907, signed into law by President Theodore Roosevelt, had banned “polygamists, or persons who admit their belief in the practice of polygamy.”

It was the last part that was most significant because it made clear what had only been implied.

The Immigration Act of 1891 had merely banned polygamists. The newest law banned anyone who believed in the practice of polygamy. That group included every faithful believing Muslim.

The Ottoman Empire’s representatives argued that their immigrants believed in the practice of polygamy, but wouldn’t actually take more than one wife. This argument echoes the current contention that Muslim immigrants may believe in a Jihad against non-Muslims without actually engaging in terrorism. That type of argument proved far less convincing to Americans than it does today.

These amazing facts, uncovered by @rushetteny reveal part of the long controversial history of battles over Islamic migration into America.

Muslim immigration was still slight at the time and bans on polygamy had not been created to deliberately target them, but the Muslim practice of an act repulsive to most Americans even back then pitted their cries of discrimination and victimhood against the values of the nation. The Immigration Act of 1907 had been meant to select only those immigrants who would make good Americans.

And Muslims would not.

In his 1905 State of the Union address, President Theodore Roosevelt had spoken of the need “to keep out all immigrants who will not make good American citizens.”

Unlike modern presidents, Roosevelt did not view Islam as a force for good. Instead he had described Muslims as “enemies of civilization”, writing that, “The civilization of Europe, America and Australia exists today at all only because of the victories of civilized man over the enemies of civilization", praising Charles Martel and John Sobieski for throwing back the "Moslem conquerors" whose depredations had caused Christianity to have "practically vanished from the two continents."

While today even mentioning “Radical Islam” occasions hysterical protests from the media, Theodore Roosevelt spoke and wrote casually of “the murderous outbreak of Moslem brutality” and, with a great deal of foresight offered a description of reform movements in Egypt that could have been just as well applied to the Arab Spring, describing the "mass of practically unchained bigoted Moslems to whom the movement meant driving out the foreigner, plundering and slaying the local Christian."

In sharp contrast to Obama’s infamous Cairo speech, Roosevelt’s own speech in Cairo had denounced the murder of a Coptic Christian political leader by a Muslim and warned against such violent bigotry.

Muslims had protested outside his hotel, but Teddy hadn’t cared.

The effective implementation of the latest incarnation of the ban however had to wait a year for Roosevelt’s successor, President Taft. Early in his first term, the Ottoman Empire was already protesting because its Muslims had been banned from the country. One account claimed that 200 Muslims had been denied entry into the United States.

Despite these protests, Muslims continued to face deportations over polygamy charges even under President Woodrow Wilson. And polygamy, though not belief in it, remains a basis for deportation.

Though the law today is seldom enforced.

American concerns about the intersection of Muslim immigration and polygamy had predated Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson. The issue dated back even to the previous century. An 1897 edition of the Los Angeles Herald had wondered if Muslim polygamy existed in Los Angeles. “Certainly There is No Lack of Mohammedans Whose Religion Gives the Institution Its Full Sanction,” the paper had observed.

It noted that, “immigration officials are seriously considering whether believers in polygamy are legally admissible” and cited the cases of a number of Muslims where this very same issue had come up.

A New York Times story from 1897 records that, “the first-polygamists excluded under the existing immigration laws were six Mohammedans arrived on the steamship California.”

To their misfortune, the Mohammedans encountered not President Obama, but President Herman Stump of the immigration board of inquiry. Stump, an eccentric irascible figure, had known Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth and had been a wanted Confederate sympathizer during the Civil War.

In the twilight of his term, Stump had little patience and tolerance for either Islam or polygamy.

The Times story relates the laconic exchange between Stump and the Muslim migrants.

“You believe in the Koran?" asked President Stump.

"Thank Allah, yes," responded the men in chorus.

“The Koran teaches polygamy?" continued the Inspector through an interpreter.

"Blessed be Allah, it does!"

"Then you believe in polygamy?" asked Captain George Ellis.

"We do. We do! Blessed be Allah, we do," chorused the Arabs, salaaming toward the setting sun.

"That settles it," said President Stump. "You won't do."

President Stump’s brand of common sense has become keenly lacking in America today.

None of the laws in question permanently settled the issue. The rise of Islamist infiltration brought with it a cleverer Taquiya. The charade that Muslims could believe one thing and do another was dishonest on the one hand and condescending on the other. It was a willful deception in which Muslims pretended that they were not serious about their religion and Americans believed them because the beliefs at stake appeared so absurd and uncivilized that they thought that no one could truly believe them.

Theodore Roosevelt knew better. But by then he was no longer in office.

Unlike today’s talk of a ban on Muslim migration from terror states, laws were not being made to target Muslims. Yet Muslims were the likeliest group of foreigners to be affected by them. Even a hundred years ago, Islam was proving to be fundamentally in conflict with American values. Then, as now, there were two options. The first was to pretend that there was no conflict. The second was to avert it with a ban.

A century ago and more, the nation had leaders who were not willing to dwell in the twilight of illusions, but who grappled with problems when they saw them. They saw civilization as fragile and vulnerable. They understood that the failure to address a conflict would mean a loss to the “enemies of civilization”.

Debates over polygamy may seem quaint today, but yet the subject was a revealing one. Islamic polygamy was one example of the slavery so ubiquitous in Islam. The enslavement of people is at the heart of Islam. As we have seen with ISIS, Islamic violence is driven by the base need to enslave and oppress. Polygamy, like honor killings and FGM, is an expression of that fundamental impulse within the private social context of the home, but as Theodore Roosevelt and others understood, it would not stay there. If we understand that, then we can understand why these debates were not quaint at all.

American leaders of a century past could not reconcile themselves to Islamic polygamy. Yet our modern leaders have reconciled themselves to the Islamic mass murder of Americans.

Thus it always is. When you close your eyes to one evil, you come to accept them all.

I just want to point out that one bolded part: President Herman Stump of the Immigration Board of Inquiry. I can just imagine Muslim immigrants coming to the shores of America and getting absolutely STUMPED upon entry!
