Silicon Valley is pushing back against President Donald Trump's latest immigration curbs, this time targeting visa programs that tech companies use to bring in thousands of skilled foreign worker.
Trump signed an executive order on Monday expanding restrictions on several work visas until at least the end of this year, including the L-1 visa that allows companies to transfer employees from overseas offices and the H-1B program for workers in specialty occupations. Both visas are popular with the United States' tech giants, and many were quick to condemn the executive order.
This will cause 15,000 federal immigration workers to be furloughed - those are existing American jobs!
The American people come first the way it should be!! The country just came out of lockdown and Americans should get jobs before people from other countries!! Trump2020NowMoreThanEver
'Haven't we heard of a Foreign 'Silicon Valley', overseas? Well, it's not the Soviet's Gulag Work Camps. Isn't California already, historically Asian-Labor orientated? Well, it was, until 3/4 of the Technology Companies in the Valley emerged amid the actual Issue being referred.'
Stephen Miller is triggered. So many discriminatory policies to implement, yet so little time left.
The tech companies should train local youths
We have our own skilled workers here!
Tech companies bring in workers to pay them less than the U.S. market wage rate. Low cost foreign labor is built into their business models. No tech visa worker is doing any job that couldn't be performed by a U.S. citizen. I dare these companies to prove otherwise. FACTS!
Educate and train the people already here
Oh well it’s called America , you help your ppl first. Y’all are so jealous of our president you will stoop to any kind of lie, but we see everything and never gonna happen
“Thousands of skilled foreign workers” aka people who take jobs away from Americans. CNN advocates stealing jobs from Americans. AmericaFirst MadeInTheUSA CNNsucks
No, the tech companies do it to pay lower wages because our engineers will not work for the money they pay these employees. They manipulate the system so they can bring more over! Do your research CNN!
Why is it so hard to hire from our own neighborhoods? Hire American.
Just hire an unemployed American worker. They should be able to do the work, right? Isn't that what Trump believes? If he says it, it's true, right?
RE-TWEET if ya think Agent Orange needs to be thrown right in the fuckin' Prison Tank the SECOND he is out of office.. NO BAIL, let him wait in the cell for the soon to follow criminal trial. Besides, Big Bubba is waiting & he's lonely.
We need more foreign cheap labor. American workers want a living wage.
Trump's last friend was big business. So happy he just pissed all over them too. Sha na na na
Nobody cares.
“Skilled foreign workers” in tech has an English translation to “overseas employees I can pay pennies on the dollar”
Cheap labor. Tough shit. Pay up.
We have plenty of unemployed Americans you can hire
Good use of their monopolised power over information. CNN = lying to the American people for 40 years.
Hire American
Of course they're against it, they are in on the remaking of America. Love of profits comes first for these companies
Too bad AmericaFirst kek
Silicon Valley is the armpit of America.
Now you know why it’s pointless to give Trump and Ivanka free PR
No more low-wage digital slave labor for Silicon Valley. That's why they're so upset.
America runs on those work visas, who's gonna do their work now, the beer belly MAGAts?
