Holy shit lol someone created a website to let Americans apply to the market surveys for unlisted H1B-earmarked job openings that have already been given to a foreign applicant

If any US citizen applies to one of these, they legally can’t issue an H1B for it hahahahahahahahaha

Effectively, merely by being marginally qualified and applying for the job, you can throw a wrench into this whole thing. You don’t have to get the job (you probably won’t, the company and HR exec, and Indian Hiring Manager will be absolutely livid that you applied at all)… but by applying for the job as a US Citizen, you’re effectively auto-denying an H1B residency in the United States. You’re creating a legal clusterfuck for the company.

Of course some one will have to actually start initiating lawsuits, but even in the short term, it’ll have a significant effect if every time Google or Meta or whoever lists a job opportunity for a “software engineer,” they get 5 or 10 U.S. citizens applying for that job. It screws up the entire H1B system because suddenly there’s competition from qualified Americans… meaning that hiring an H1B is for that position is now illegal.

You misunderestimate the deviousness of the fucks: the Indian-infested faceless evil giant IT corporation where I work now posts these jobs on paper in cafeteria where you can't get w/o a badge. So the requirement to post it is fulfilled but the chance of outsiders applying to them is miniscule.

That is illegal. Hardcopy postings must be put up at two conspicuous locations at the place of employment for ten days. A restricted area is not "conspicuous," but I suppose in this case someone must sue or call in a Labor Department inspector.

And how will said inspector get inside without alerting the fuckers and being delayed at the entrance until they remove the postings from the cafeteria?

There's gonna be massive collusion between the parties employing H1B's to arrive at the same gross pay for the Slaves because of the new regulation making H1B availability based on the wages offered and not by random drawing.

Apparently there are certain employers obligated to publish jobs first to Americans and are angry Americans are applying in the hundreds. If they reject them all to get a Work Visa for a Foreigner, they'll get flagged by Trump's Dept of Labor.

The legal test is if Americans apply, whether they get accepted or not doesn't matter.

Interesting! Reddit, but Read:

https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/1mokcs1/apply_for_perm_jobs_if_you_are_still_looking_for/

It's easy to tell who the entitled foreign workers and HR people are.

VERY Upset that companies would rather remove the PERM Job (that cousin Rajesh promised would go to them) than comply.

When I was a wee programmer starting out at Motorola in Chicagoland, I saw a jobs board in the office and asked to apply to one of the jobs. This was about 1994.

I was told the jobs were already assigned to certain people, but for legal reasons they had to post each job as if it were still open. Not sure what the legal reason was back then.

Two concepts are different h1b vs moving factory to another country. Lot so us here are in IT so only care for that, but since 1990 tons of factories moved to China n Mexico under Clinton. That's real wealth n capability. Usa looses wealth.

H1b is where production stays here in usa but people are imported to fill those positions. Biggest benefit most of those h1b work here, buy house ,here pay taxes here so almost all of wealth stays in usa.

During peak IT needs this made sense, but now with AI n not enough jobs do not need to bring more it related people here. Usa needs to improve education so it's cheaper n better. They stop h1b for IT.

True. That will be a tall order bringing back standards in both students and teachers and removing the entrenched "equity" and "woke."

Grok called it “rumors.” Others said “rare.”

But Walmart just fired a VP for kickbacks and terminated 1,200 contractors (CTOL Digital, 2025).

This doesn’t answer some questions about how the system works, it answers many. Shareholders were kept in the dark. Executives were on the take.

And what if this isn’t the exception at all... what if this is the model?

• What if the majority of H-1B contracting runs on kickbacks and insider deals?
• What if every “cost savings” pitch was just money shifted from shareholders to middlemen?
• What if the corruption is the system?

Here’s why this is just the beginning: USCIS has now launched a whistleblower program for H-1B fraud (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, 2024). For the first time, insiders can report the schemes that everyone claimed “don’t exist.” VISA workers stuck in a corrupt system have recourse and this could dismantle the entire system..

If Walmart is the first domino to fall, how many more are lined up behind it?

I like most of Elon's positions, but not his support for H1b to deprive Americans of wages and boost profits for himself.

India just thumbed its nose at Donnie's demand to stop buying Soviet oil. Time to start deporting Indian H1Bs - it'll get that Modi fuck's attention pronto.

For decades, India gets blackmailed to buy oil by hostile governments including previous Indian communist regimes with lots of restrictions and higher prices!
Russia is a proven mutually trusted partner for long time. Trump had dinner with Porkistan military puppet in WH who gave a threat to India right after the dinner!
This can be a sign of a US low to higher level proxy war on India.

Choosing relashionship with loser Soviets over the US is a great way to shoot oneself in the foot. Both feet, probably.

But I can see how it is a more natural fit, taking into account the similarity in the sanitation situation: 1/3 of the Soviet population has no indoor plumbing.

So you still suggest buy oil at US suggested places that would push back to $150. US supply unlimited military supplies to Porkstan as part of the proxy war with India. The puppet literally said will blow up oil refineries in India right after dinner with Trump.
If you’re not aware, all left and jihadi political parties, media, major consumable business owned and run by US.

India is making out like crazy on outsourced IT. We need some reciprocity.

India is NOT entitled to millions of US-based IT jobs without something for the American Citizen (not multinational company) in return.

Also, the "investor visa" has to be restricted to NEW non-service businesses. IE not buying an existing hotel or gas station. Patel has to start a new business entirely, and not hotels, gas, convenience, clothing, restuarant, or other service

Buy F-18s? Buy US Oil? Something.

SUMMARY OF H-1B EXECUTIVE ORDER

- ENTRY BAN: No H-1B visa holder may enter the United States beginning Sunday September 21st, including current visa holders, unles they pay $100K to enter.

- VISA FEE: New H-1B and H-1B extensions must pay 100K to be processed and 100K per year every year thereafter to maintain them.

This will effectively end the H-1B program completely. No one, even the highest paid at 500K will be paying an extra 100K a year to the government.

It will destroy the health care, higher education, and technology sectors as we know them if this isn't struck down in court.


Musk should not have pissed off Trump, then.


Note the $100K fee per year may come with a regulation, not immediately, what is immediate is the travel ban on Sunday for 1 year subject to renewal unless the employer/immigrant pays $100K to enter.

Also the suspension of processing new H-1Bs by DHS.

That $100,000 new executive order by Trump seems like a Save American Citizen Tech Worker Jobs Act.

There is so much he's doing like this, securing the border, more manufacturing/tech investment in USA including the shipbuilding program, etc.

The corporate media refuses to report this or only report it to make it look like its "not what is America is about" as Biden would say.

If Musk had stayed aligned with Trump and Modhi didn't play "fuck around and find out" with his BRICS pals in Beijing & Moscow, this probably would not have happened either.


402   Patrick   2025 Sep 20, 8:24am  

The $100K fee per year for every H1b (and every similar program) should be made into law.
