California Jobs? - Proof Clinton Supports Outsourcing - Not Jobs for Americans




Food for thought to all you California voters who think American jobs are a priority for this candidate. Think again. Video shows Clinton advocating for even MORE jobs going to foreign nationals, from India and China etc. This was ABOVE the cap already reached. Yes, INCREASING it for MORE jobs to be outsourced.

"I am reaffirming my commitment to the H1B visa and INCREASING the current cap...."

And you wonder why she doesn't want her transcripts of speeches to Goldman Sachs to be released? You can just imagine what she told THEM about where she stood on their behalf.

1. Outsourcer-in-Chief: Disney Loves It -- Cheap Labor from Abroad

California voters should take note. Disney and the rest are taking full advantage when they know they have one of their own corporatists to rely on for MORE H1B visas - cheaper labor and loss of American jobs.

Bernie Sanders: “We are a nation of people where a lot of people are in trouble,” he said, then focused on Disneyland employees. “Many of them are forced to live in hotels because they can’t afford a home,” he said. He contrasted that with CEO Bob Iger’s pay and Disney’s record profits.

The Wall Street Journal estimated Iger’s total compensation at $46.5 million in 2014 and $45 million in 2015. Disney’s latest earnings report said the company's parks and resorts division, which includes Disneyland Resort, set a record with $3.9 billion in revenue in the second quarter of the current fiscal year, a 4-percent increase year-over-year.

Sanders also claimed that Disney used H1B visas to hire cheap foreign labor in Florida. The Disney attacks were embraced by many in the crowd. Lifelong Anaheim resident Jade Gonzalez, 23, said she has friends and family members who work for Disney — and she thought Sanders was spot on.

"We as customers pay all this money, but the workers don't get paid that much," she said, and pointed to the Sanders comments as an example of how he’s willing to take on interests that are others do not.

Whatever you want to call it because of outsourcing and H1b visa people. I have not recovered. I went from planning on retiring about now to being dead broke and depending on my elderly mother to keep myself from being homeless. No new technology jobs, no retraining, no welfare after 3 month. No more unemployment.

So all I can say. Is FUCK HILLARY CLINTON AND HER PANDERING LYING ASS. There are pleanty of US workers who can do the jobs with little to no retraining. I'll even work for the less tan minimum wage that the H1b workers frequently get.

The other day I called Comcast in an effort to help another person and I talked to a call center person in Monterey Mexico. They are even outsourcing the minimum wage jobs.
