A TPM Reader told me to look at the Department of Labor page on Facebook for something called Project Firewall. It's basically their name for cracking down on highly skilled foreigners on H-1B visas. Here's the Dept's description here. www.dol.gov/newsroom/rel...

There are a lot more where this came from.

1. Yikes, those images are disturbing.

I'm not sure what makes me want to puke more, all the Biff-like males, or the 50's (or earlier) rendition of where women supposedly fit into this picture. Freaking yikes!

That said, Dems gave away the initiative on H-1B, which DESPERATELY needed repairs ... but I got news for the Reich wing DOL and Trumpists - we American citizen IT workers don't look anything like their apparent ideal. And most of us are smart enough that we didn't vote for those shitheads anyway. (I can't speak for other professions, but I haven't recently seen any doctors looking like Biff either).

3. Regarding "Project Firewall" - fake ass mirage, if you ask me

Nothing wrong with what they say they are going to do - if they do it in accordance with law - well, there you go I guess, none of their "enforcement" of anything actually complies with law or protects the innocent, so why should this be different?

It will be a tool to go after companies that have pissed off Trump and his minions. THAT IS ALL.

I'll let you know if anything substantive changes in my world. Not holding my breath.

From the DOL page:

As authorized by federal law, the department will conduct investigations of employers through Project Firewall to maximize H-1B program compliance. To achieve this goal, the Secretary of Labor will personally certify the initiation of investigations for the first time in the department’s history. This historic action leverages existing authority granted to the Secretary if reasonable cause exists that an H-1B employer not in compliance.

Secretary-certified investigations, as well as other H-1B-related investigations, are important tools the department will use in Project Firewall to hold employers accountable and protect the rights of American workers. Violations may result in the collection of back wages owed to affected workers, the assessment of civil money penalties, and/or debarment from future use of the H-1B program for a prescribed period of time.

Additionally, the department will share information and coordinate with relevant government agencies, as permitted by law, to combat discrimination against American workers and ensure the law is properly enforced by leveraging the full force of the federal government.

2. It begs the question

How do they phrase the prompt to generate such images.

6. Probably something like...

"Show me jim crow era public service announcements"

4. Ironically, it looks like "Socialist Realism" art. nt
