It’s Elizabeth Warren’s party now! How to remake it in the liberal heroine’s image

92. Yes, H-1B programs are indentured servant slave labor programs.

Whether we offshore jobs, or we inshore them with these kind of programs that between both of these strategies DEVALUE the labor force everywhere, I'm sorry, but anyone that calls H-1B a "liberal" program is off their rocker!

We also have to realize that we could keep a lot of jobs here in this country if we would bring back the founders' strategies of leveraging tariffs which most other well doing developed countries still do today except us through various means like VAT taxes. Schumer over and over again being the Democrat that makes H-1B expansion of just about every immigration bill is NOT liberal when he does that! I'm sorry, but that in my book, even if everything else he does is liberal (which it is not) would take him out of the #1 spot of any VALID poll.

As I note with the two links I posted, it is pretty bipartisan the reaction of many out there that this poll is not an accurate assessment of how "liberal" or how "conservative" politicians are.

If instead of all of these laws like the free trade laws and throwing away tariffs to help corporations make more profits and shelter them overseas (along with their manufacturing and headquarters locations) we would have them pay a price for these strategies in forms of tariffs, that would be the way to bring back labor here and pay them fair market wages so that it would be measurable to keep the divide from being too wide here which it is when the wealthy reward themselves too much and inflate our markets beyond what most working class people can afford to have the kind of middle class life style they used to have before Reagan's time.

H-1B programs are about *temporary* work arrangements of foreign nationals here, NOT them "immigrating" here. That is one big reason why it doesn't belong in an *Immigration* bill because it really isn't about immigration issues, other than it serves as a means of companies still being able to use union labor, and have LESS people immigrate here than they might otherwise. H-1B IS accommodating corporations in effect training foreign workers here and in effect sending their earnings out of this country, and them being trained here before going back to companies overseas when they are done with their H-1B "tour of duty" here.
