Big Tech Corporations Continue Hiring Foreign H-1B Visa Workers After Mass Layoffs of Americans

[Breitbart] The nation’s biggest tech conglomerates continued hiring foreign workers through the H-1B visa program, even as they carried out mass layoffs of American employees, investigative reporter Lee Fang details.

Since the start of the year, hundreds of thousands of Americans in tech jobs have been laid off, with about 12,000 cut at Google, 10,000 out at Microsoft, close to 20,000 laid off at Amazon, and 10,000 cut from Meta Platforms which owns Facebook and Instagram.

Just weeks after announcing such layoffs, though, the same tech corporations continued hiring foreign workers on the H-1B visa program — known as the "outsourcing visa" to many Americans.

#3 The original excuse was that industry couldn't get all the techies it needed way back in the 80s. Those businesses have had five decades to 'grow their own' but instead found it cheaper to buy your Congresscritters to betray your own.

#4 If Musk's recent experience at Twitter is any guide, most of the tech companies are overstaffed as it is.

#8 I wonder if some of the foreigners are so appalled at the condition of the Bar Area streets that they decide to return to Mumbai.

#10 America is not for Americans.

P2K - and it was the Y2K scam that allowed them to fast track the H1B1s and waive all the safe guards we had in place.

#12 ^ But, rather than mercury or sodium, shouldn't that be one of those trans-uranic elements?
