I myself was replaced by 4 Pakistanis, because the company thought they could get more work out of 4 people as opposed to one that made 4 times as much. Info from insiders, tells me that that company has still not met their deadlines, and they would have met them long ago with me on board.

I have known people who in a similar situation, sued the company, and got 5 years of salary plus court and lawyer fees. It is still illegal to replace American citizens with foreign H1B or L1 workers. It is supposedly illegal to hire H1B or L1 workers if you can hire an American citizen. However, I believe most corporations are ignoring these rules, just as many ignore the rules against hiring illegal aliens.

Unfortunately, corporations don’t care nor screen these workers very well. And considering what countries and what part of the world they come from, one would think a thorough screening would be wise (ever hear of the “Intel 6″?). In case you hadn’t, Intel in Portland Oregon hired 6 middle-eastern men to work for them. Some months later, authorities raided and found stockpiles of rocket launchers, grenades and anthrax spores in their shared apartment.

Our illustrious leadrship shake their heads in disbelief and exclaim: “Where in the world did all these terrorists come from, and how did they get here?” Must I really connect the dots and lead them from point A to B to C??????

People in this country wonder where all their jobs are going? This is not hard to figure out when armed with the facts.

Regarding H1B employment etc. some INS facts:

Even though they are legally mandated to do so, the INS has publicly and willfully refused to deport H-1Bs with expired visas. Although the law says that H-1B visa holders must leave the country immediately after being laid-off or fired, the INS has said “no one will be forced to leave, keep looking for new jobs”.

What is the INS’s policy toward illegal immigrants in the U.S.? According to INS manager Nina Moniz, “Our job is to explain to people why they are here illegally, help them change that, and help them to get benefits.”
(7/23/2001 Interview on Denver’s KOA radio.)

INS commissioner James Ziglar’s only law enforcement experience is serving as the Sergeant-at-Arms for the Senate.

The H-1B program (for temporary high-tech work) admits about 500 “fashion models” visas for employment in the U.S. every year.

A telephone company that serves a 14 state region in the U.S. makes it a policy to fire American computer consultants, and replace them with cheaper H-1B consultants. To add insult to injury, they first force the American computer consultants to provide on-the-job training for the H-1B that is replacing them, under the guise that they are not being replaced, but are training an assistant. This same company replaced one of their Sr. IT executives with an H-1B. The new executive promptly cancelled numerous software development projects that American citizens were working on, and fired them. Then the executive hired TATA Consultancy (an infamous H-1B sweat shop), to restart the cancelled projects under new names using H-1B workers.

Companies who are laying off H-1B visa holders frequently inform the INS that the person’s status has changed to “unpaid leave” rather than “unemployed.” The H-1B worker is then free to search for another job indefinitely (and compete with American workers in the high-tech job market) without fear of deportation.

Illegal immigrants who enroll in the University of California system are charged in-state tuition.

According to several universities, the INS routinely takes 6 months to respond to notifications from their registrars that foreign students are not attending classes.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg had openly declared that he will not enforce U.S. immigration laws. “…those people who are undocumented do not have to worry about the city government…” Amazing turn of face after 9-11??

Studies estimate there are approximately 350,000 people who have become illegal immigrants by overstaying their visas. Because of its failure to implement an entry-exit system as required by a 1996 law, the INS has no way to identify or locate them. As more H-1Bs lose their jobs in the recession, and remain in the country until they find work, this number will no doubt be significantly higher.

The Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General could not find any evidence that the INS was capable of locating visa violators still in the country. Washington Times 11/07/01

The INS spent $31.2 million on a computer system to track visa holders that overstay their visas. The system still does not work, and the INS says that it needs an additional $57 million for the system. Your tax dollars hard at work??

State Department form DS-156 — the official nonimmigrant visa application — asks the following question: “Do you seek to enter the U.S. to engage in export control violations, subversive or terrorist activities, or any other unlawful purpose? Are you a member of a terrorist organization as currently designated by the U.S. Secretary of State?” The footnote to the question states that “A YES answer does not automatically signify ineligibility for visa.”

Fraud within the H-1B non-immigrant visa system has become so rampant that an entire industry of “body shops” has sprung up in America. The body shops sponsor foreign workers’ visas and then place them in jobs with American companies for significantly lower wages than American high tech workers.

“The US government has authorized the issuance of 295,000 new H-1B visas for 2009.” (Washington Post.) This in the face of this continuing recession.

While this may be somewhat shocking, I haven’t even started on the “Student visa red carpet giveaways” yet.

Anyone feel a cold chill up their spine?

Sleep well America!

Dr. James Bradley

Please do not give up.

I know things are hard out there.

But there is hope.

While things are never going to be easy in this world, the truth is that God loves you and wants you to have the ultimate happy ending.

But you have to be willing to turn to Him.

I encourage you to check out the following article that I wrote on another website….

http://whatdoesthebiblesayabout.com/archives/what-does-the-bible-say-about-salvation

Why your most likely labelling me as you read this if so let me tell something, DONT YOU EVER label me as a lazy ass who is unwilling to work. I would honestly bend over backwards for a minimum wage job right now and not complain, man I applied for 2 jobs as a GRILL COOK and they did an interview and asked me if I’ve had relevant experience! Relevant experience to cook greasy food all day for minimum wage you’re telling me I need EXSPERINCE to do a job that a 9 year old could learn in two days! That is just one example of the ridiculousness of the current system.

Today I went to a fish processing plant for An interview they were willing to train it was all going well until the end she asked for BUSSNESS REFENCES when I had clearly stated I DO NOT HAVE SERIOUS LEGEL WORK EXSPERINCE THAT IS RELEVENT TO THIS JOB, I applied under the assumption that WILL TRAIN meant WILL TRAIN!!!!!!!!!!! But no no of course not they mean we will train you if you already know how to do it!

What is the point of this you ask the point is that you people have to STOP saying that it’s because this whole generation is worthless and lazy.

You have to STOP and think about this I don’t have any experience so I don’t have a job you won’t give me a job because I have no experience, and because of that you label me a lazy worthless spawn of the so called “Nintendo generation” as someone so rudely put it earlier, and thus must be worthless.

There is absolutely no political will to deal with the large Baby Boomer generation that will in a few short years not be able to work anymore. Most of them will not have the option of living with their children (if they have children) because their children will be unemployed or outright impoverished. In most third world countries there is a strong family sense; we don’t have that here, so expect to see granny dumpster-diving (or fighting for a position at the dumpster, if there will be a dumpster to be had).

Sorry to be a downer. We have about five years (or less) to take back the country, get the money system right, and get rid of the bankster criminals (I dream of Nuremberg trials).

Short of that, expect to be worse off than a sharecropper or serf on some duke’s estate (the new royalty consists of transnational corporations and as Mussolini said, corporatism is the essence of fascism).

I am a high school graduate (barely) and am self-taught. I worked in a factory for 20 years before they shipped all the factory jobs to the slave gulags in Asia and Mexico (thanks NAFTA). In the mid-90s I learned HTML and web technology (on my own; they didn’t teach this stuff in college back then; I hit the books) and after a long period of knocking on doors got a job with a web technology company.

I moved to a larger city where there was more opportunity and within two years more than doubled my income.

But then the bankers decided to pull the plug on the wildly exuberant (thanks to the bankers and Wall Street investors) internet boom and by 2001 my income had dropped by a third and I was working for the government (a state university), mostly because I had no choice (all my former coworkers were unemployed, replaced by Indians and Chinese programmers who worked at half or less the salary). Believe me, working for the government is hell, you are considered less than whale dung.

A few years later I transitioned my flagging internet skills and my self-taught writing and editing skills into a decent job with an online news site. I work 70 hours a week (including Saturday and Sunday) and earn what I did in 1998. Needless to say, inflation has taken the shine off it all.

I don’t mind working 70 plus hours a week, although my body is beginning to complain (I have arthritis, tendinitis, and carpal tunnel from all those countless hours before the computer).

I have no illusion of retirement. By the time I am 70 there will be no social security. I will probably work until I drop. That’s the way it is.

Things could be a lot better, but we have no political will and much of the younger generation is politically brain dead. We need to get rid of the Federal Reserve and take control of our money and get back to the Constitution. I think we are going in the opposite direction.

I tell young people to find a niche and fill it and you will be alright, for now. After the bottom falls out, though, I think we will all be screwed.

Unfortunately, it no longer matters how hard you work. We are becoming a third world country like Mexico and that includes the mentality of the populace.

That’s my two cents.

Fast forward to today and I have had young guys quit after a week because they didn’t get a raise or because I yelled at them. Just last month I had two 20 year olds struggling with a job that a 50 year old Honduran guy was doing with no problem and later I had to re-do everything they did.

To dody who is complaining that we raised them..he’s dead right too. I’ve got friends who won’t even make their kids mow the lawn, they pay illegal aliens to do it. Its pitiful. I saw this coming and decided that I needed a wife who could handle the coming hard times so I traveled to the old Soviet Republic and married a girl from Uzbekistan where life is so hard that they made the young girls pick cotton for their college tuition and families live on $200 a month. My children volunteer for chores and respect their parents, they understand how hard life can get. I promise all the young people that are reading this…these times are coming to America and you better be prepared to struggle or you will be used and abused and thrown away like so much trash. Pray that you will be found worthy and be prepared to give 100% or be prepared to go hungry and without shelter.

I really don’t know where I’m going to be going with this post but, hopefully that will be figured by the end.

I dropped out of high-school in the middle of grade 10; though, I was doing grade 11 and 12 courses, because I see no point in learning things that rarely apply to me. Don’t get me wrong, after I dropped out I decided to take my learning into my own hands. So, it’s not like I’m draining my brain of knowledge. (Reading my dads old school texts, going to the library etc.) I feel like I have learned a lot more valuable things than sitting in a desk for six hours, smoking weed at lunch and then taking a test on graphs. Obviously my form of learning isn’t going to get me into a University seeing as I have no piece of paper to back me up. I do see as somewhat unfortunate that I still have the means to finish high-school get a degree and move on but, choose not to. There’s probably quite a number of people that would kill to go to school. Ah well… With that being said, I along with a lot of others (or at least I’d hope), really don’t care about how much money I will have in my pocket. I want to be a tattoo artist for crying out loud. For quite a number of years I will be the ‘bitch’ of the parlour and not see a cent. So, I’ll be having to get part-time jobs to support myself of course but, as long as I can get by and still have a smile on my face. I’m okay with that.

Perhaps, being ‘spoiled’ in a sense is clouding over my judgement with this my decisions but, I managed to save enough money to move to Japan for a year to further things with tattooing and still get by and take care of my Grandma for the winter because the rest of the family is too busy making money. That’s a start; I’d like to think? Yeah, tattooing isn’t a respected job but, it’s something that I have always wanted to do and I have a passion for art. Having a passion for something means more to me than making an extra buck in my pocket. (Hopefully that won’t turn on me.)

(Oh, and being in Japan right now I couldn’t get a job in the retail area, even with the 5 years of experience because I lived in Canada my whole life. ((I am a dual-citizen thank you very much.)) This confuses me but, whatever, can’t play the ‘gaijin’ card everywhere?)

I don’t know where this post went but, it was good to type out.

No, as I clearly stated in my post, the jobs I was referring to are those that “involve selling people worthless crap that they don’t need, or tricking them into thinking they need it, or shuffling papers around. Mostly in order to line the pockets of some rich jackass, who won’t even share a little bit of the profits with his own employees, much less contribute anything lasting to the society which enabled him to succeed.” So, I see that your reading comprehension scores were quite low in grade school, perhaps? You see, I was talking about jobs like investment banker – ones that leech off of the work of others and produce nothing in and of themselves. Or ones like working at Wal-Mart – selling plastic crap that people don’t need that makes life worse.

As long as you are casting broad character aspersions based only on a few lines of text, let me do the same with you. If I’m going to “crack like an egg” because I’m so entitled, YOU are the type who has had everything handed to them their whole lives, or who has had the luck to be in the right place at the right time, and who then believes that this is proof of how much smarter, more motivated, and how much better they are than other people.

When “**** hits the fan” as you so eloquently put it, you will be one of the ones flailing about to find others to blame for your own failures (such as those lazy youth of today, illegal immigrants, the government, etc.) rather than being grateful that you happened to be born and raised in an era of relative prosperity rather than in one of decline. People like you are not the ones who are going to do anything innovative to make the world a better place, but only rail on those who are different from you and blame those worse off for their own situation, even as you fall into one similar yourself.

You are the equivalent of those aging Russians who would cling to their images of Stalin after the fall of the Soviet Union. Except you will probably have a sad little shrine to Reagan in your home instead.
