Why The H-1B Visa Racket Should Be Abolished, Not Reformed

Globally, a series of sordid liaisons ensures that American workers are left high and dry. Through the programs of the International Trade Administration, the Export-Import Bank, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the International Monetary Fund, and other oink operations, the tax-paying American worker is forced to subsidize and underwrite the investment risks of the very corporations that have given him the boot.

Domestically, the fascistic partnership with the State amounts to a subsidy to business at the expense of the taxpayer. See, corporations in our democratic welfare state externalize their employment costs onto the taxpayers.


Does this epitomize the classical liberal idea of laissez-faire?

Moreover, chain migration or family unification means that every H-1B visa recruit is a ticket for an entire tribe. The initial entrant – the meal ticket – will pay his way. The honor system not being an especially strong value in the Third World, the rest of the clan will be America's problem. More often than not, chain migration entrants become wards of the American taxpayer.

Spreading like gravy over a tablecloth, this rapid, inorganic population growth is detrimental to all ecosystems: natural, social, and political.

Take Seattle and its surrounding counties. Between April 2015 and 2016, the area was inundated with "86,320 new residents, marking it the region's biggest population gains this century. Fueled in large part by the technology industry, an average of 236 people is moving to the Seattle area each day," reported Geekwire.com. (Reporters for our local fish-wrapper – in my case, parrot cage liner – have discharged their journalistic duties by inviting readers to "share" their traffic jam stories.)

Never as dumb as the local reporters, the likes of Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer, Mark Zuckerberg, and Mark Cuban are certainly as detached.

Barricaded in their obscenely lavish compounds – from the comfort of their monster mansions – these social engineers don't experience the "environmental impacts of rapid urban expansion"; the destruction of lush, verdant open spaces and farmland; the decrease in the quality of the water we drink and air we breathe, the increase in traffic and traffic accidents, air pollution, the cell block-like housing erected to accommodate their imported I.T. workers and extended families, the delicate bouquet of amped up waste management and associated seepages.

Well said! H-1B and H-2B visas must both go! They are very destructive forms of exploitation.
