Focus on our own first. Get Americans back to work and THEN let’s worry about immigrants.

Hint: Ask a few immigration lawyers what has been done in the last 4 years.

Everybody knows that the high tech giants and Barack Obama have a “quid pro quo” agreement in which the high tech giants provide heavy campaign contributions in exchange for President Obama’s support for work visas that displace US STEM workers.

These work visas have never been about “highly skilled” workers. These visas are being used for REPLACEMENT workers, visas that helps high tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Apple reduce labor costs by replacing highly skilled, well educated US STEM workers with cheap, entry level, third world workers, primarily from India and Communist China.

President Obama should be well aware of a 2011 GAO study that found that not only are these workers not highly skilled, 94% are not even “Fully Competent.” The 2011 GAO study found that a mere 6% of the recipients of H-1B visas are “Fully Competent” with 54% of the recipients of H-1B visas being “Entry Level” workers. In fact, many disenfranchised US STEM workers are required to train their replacement in order to receive a severance package.

US STEM workers are the greatest scientists, engineers, and mathematicians that the world has ever seen. We created this technology! No one will ever know what innovation never occurred because hundreds of thousands of US STEM workers have had to abandon their careers because of this onslaught of entry level, third world workers who have displaced US STEM workers so that the likes of Microsoft, Google and Apple can reduce labor costs.

About a dozen years ago, before Bill Gates chose the “philanthropy” approach of supporting the H-1B visa, Bill Gates hired two of his father’s shady political operatives to do his bidding on Capitol Hill. Gates’ father’s shady political operatives were Jack Abramoff and Grover Norquist, and continued until Abramoff was sent to prison for bribing Congressmen.

Today, Bill Gates pushes his agenda with his faux philanthropy approach, by giving gifts to “think tanks” like the Brookings Institute, who return publish studies with predetermined conclusions that supports Bill Gates financial interests at Microsoft, where Bill Gates aggressively lays off US STEM workers and backfills those positions with cheap, entry level, third world workers primarily from India and Communist China.

How we deal with those who came here illegally is a different matter that is complex. The so called DREAM act would have passed already if it were just about granting citizenship to kids who came here when they were young. The hold up is whether to legalize their parents. Reform is in the eye of the behold. To some this is amnesty and is discriminatory against those who come from Asia, Africa, and other places not located next or close to the US.

We need an immigration reform? No kidding. What is he going to DO about it? He doesn’t answer – fine, he’s a politician. But this is a news site. Check into it maybe?

Gigaom much too often is just a reprint of PR statements. How about you do some research; what has been done? What will be done? We already know what “has” to be done.
