U.S. Industry Still Wants H1-B Immigrants

All I can think of here is the MILLIONS of AMERICANS who LOST THEIR JOBS.

Are you SERIOUSLY telling me NONE of those BUSINESS MAJORS that took the ax can't be hired for EVERY SINGLE ONE of these jobs?

Or is there SOMETHING ELSE AT WORK here in the AGENDA-PROMOTING, PRO-GLOBALIST PAPER?

Bank Bailout to Pay For Foreign Workers

Hey, I'm no racist (see the intro to the links?), I LOVE PEOPLE; however, I RECOGNIZE a GLOBALIST AGENDA when I see one now!!!

Now watch the agenda-pushing media soft-sell the idea as if, you know, everything is cool.


"Fewer specialty visas sought; Citing economy, firms not hiring as many tech workers" by Hiawatha Bray, Globe Staff | March 31, 2009

Some Boston-area companies that have long used a special federal visa program to import technical talent from abroad now say they're cutting back.

Question number one: I thought those were the GOOD JOBS that were going to be ours? That is how this globalist s*** was sold to us in the first place.

Nevertheless, we get S***-SHOVELING POLITICIANS with their S*** PROMISES and LIES:


"My view is that the legislation will create clean energy jobs that cannot be shipped overseas, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and make America the global leader in energy technology," said Representative Edward Markey of Massachusetts, chairman of the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming and coauthor of the bill."

Yeah, but THAT doesn't STOP them from BRINGING the WORKERS HERE!!!!

You think we are to 'too-pid, huh, Markey? I ain't smelling the fart mist, man!!!!

I'm FREEZING MY ASS OF OUT HERE 'cause it's about 45 degrees here after TWO WEEKS of SPRING.... no fooling!!!

Meanwhile, the MIDWEST is getting SOCKED with a BLIZZARD!!!

But I STRAY from the AGENDA-PUSHING PROMOTION at HAND!!!

On April 1, 2008, when the US government opened the process for granting last year's H-1B visas for skilled foreign workers, the full quota of 65,000 applications was met in a single day. But this year's visa rush, which begins tomorrow, may be a good deal slower, thanks to the severe recession.

And WHAT DO THEY MEAN "MAY BE?"

So MAYBE NOT, right, Globe?

This is why you are LOSING SO MUCH MONEY for your MASTER!!!

Usually, individuals from abroad apply for their own visas to enter the United States. But under the H-1B visa program, US companies, or American subsidiaries of foreign firms, request visas for talented foreign workers they want to bring into the country and employ for three to six years.

And you were working on that college education for what reason, soldier, 'er, student?

I guess U.S. KIDS are only good for CANNON FODDER for ISRAELI WARS!!!

The basic program is limited to a total of 65,000 visas; a supplemental program for foreign workers with advanced degrees has a quota of 20,000.

Again, that ejerkashen for the good job? Meanwhile, the illegals are taking the shit jobs you allegedly don't want (and no, I am not going to work in a slaughterhouse, sorry; I'd rather die myself).

Chip maker Analog Devices Inc. got approval to hire 33 workers under the H-1B program last year, according to statistics from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services. An Analog spokeswoman who asked not to be named said the company would seek 60 percent fewer H-1B hires this year.

FLASHBACK:

"Analog Devices net falls to $24.9m" by Bloomberg News | February 19, 2009

SAN FRANCISCO - Analog Devices Inc., the Norwood, Mass., maker of semiconductors for companies such as Cisco Systems Inc., reported its smallest quarterly profit in more than six years after the recession crimped demand for chips.

Net income fell to $24.9 million.... Shrinking demand for chips used in phone systems and industrial machinery is forcing Analog Devices to shut down production and cut jobs to prevent a buildup of inventory.... --more--"

Notice how they made $25 million but the business page tries to describe it as a loss?

Financial services firm State Street Corp. got approvals for 22 H-1B visas last year. But spokeswoman Arlene Roberts said the number "will be significantly lower" in 2009.

Yup, and State Street also got a
$2 Billion Taxpayer Windfall from the VERY SAME GOVERNMENT!

Of course, YOUR GOVERNMENT is LOOKING OUT FOR YOU, Amurkn citizen!!!

That's what ALL the LIES are FOR!!!!


The government has imposed restrictions on the use of H-1B visas by companies that took federal bailout funding, and State Street received $2 billion in bailout money.

If that WASN'T SUCH an OUTRAGEOUS STATEMENT I would laugh, but....

But Roberts said State Street's retreat from the H-1B visa program is entirely due to the weak economy. "It's just market-driven," she said.

Translation: We'd hire more foreigners if we could.

F*** you, Amurka!!!!

Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates in Gloucester got just one H-1B visa approval last year, and may not be seeking any in 2009. "We're able to find some very qualified people right now without having to get visas," said Bruce Stokes, Varian's vice president of human resources.

The GLOBE makes them sound like a DRUNK DRIVER!!!

But I ONLY HAD ONE, ociffer!!!!

FLASHBACK:

"Another local manufacturer of chip making gear revealed dismal results yesterday. Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates Inc. of Gloucester reported that revenue for its fiscal first quarter ended Jan. 2 was down 58 percent from a year ago. The company went from a $43.7 million first-quarter profit last year to a $13.6 million loss this year."

Back to the present:

"We do have one we're looking at, but we're not sure right now," he said. Varian, which builds equipment used in making microchips, has been hit hard by the dramatic slump in demand for consumer electronics. The company has laid off about 300 employees over the past year.

Then WHY are they looking at EVEN ONE FOREIGNER?

They couldn't have KEPT an AMERICAN?

Progress Software Corp. of Bedford, which makes business-management software, got approval for a single H-1B worker last year, and hopes to pick up three or four this time around.

So THEY want MORE FOREIGNERS, huh?

Yeah, this is REALLY STARTING TO STINK!!!!!!

Joseph Andrews, vice president of human resources, said his company needs technically skilled workers who speak Spanish and Portuguese to provide technical support to Progress customers in Latin America.

Translation: No one gives a shit about you, America. Like the AmeriKan call centers being located in India, the Latin American center is here in the U.S. Why don't you go down there and employ some locals. Then maybe you wouldn't nee to import some here. After a while, the agenda-pushing bullshit by the MSM is just hurtful and insulting.

But Andrews also said Progress is still hiring Americans as well, though at a slower pace than in previous years.

As they INCREASE their FOREIGNERS!! Puh-leeze!!!!!

He said the present downturn is a good opportunity to hire highly skilled US citizens who've lost jobs with other firms.

Well, APPARENTLY NOT!!!!

"Given the current economic conditions, there's a lot of great talent based in the States," Andrews said. "We see this as an opportunity to take advantage of that and go after these folks."

Here is another thing (and why economics turns me off): I'M SICK of the GREED LINGO that ACCOMPANIES BUSINESS -- especially when it is referring to OTHER PEOPLE'S MISERY!

Giant data storage company EMC Corp. in Hopkinton is still in the market for H-1B workers, but the company won't say how many, or whether it's seeking fewer visas than last year, when it got approval for 71.

EMC got 71 APPROVALS!!! Holy crap!!!!!

First see: EMC Executive Bites the Bullet

How did THAT "PAY CUT" grab you, huh?

Now consider THIS, TOO!!!

FLASHBACK: "Tucci: EMC positioned for growth" by Hiawatha Bray, Globe Staff | March 11, 2009

Joe Tucci, the chief executive of data storage giant EMC Corp. in Hopkinton, said yesterday the world economy will shrink in 2009 for the first time since World War II - but that EMC will keep right on growing.

Speaking in Boston to a group of institutional investors, Tucci said EMC's broad array of storage, security, and virtualization products should let the company increase its lead over rivals despite a brutal recession. "We do believe we're going into this strong," said Tucci, "and we are going to, across the board, make sure we gain share in this environment."

Even though EMC disclosed plans to lay off about 2,400 workers worldwide, hardly any are coming from sales.... Steve Duplessie, a storage analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group in Milford, said there's a good chance that an aggressive EMC can grow market share even in tough times. "Good economy, bad economy, data growth never stops," said Duplessie. He added that EMC is well positioned to benefit if other storage vendors reduce their sales efforts....

--more--"

EMC Corp?

"Profit declines 45% at EMC

Data storage company EMC Corp. said its fourth-quarter profit fell 45 percent as one-time restructuring expenses weighed on its results. Excluding charges, the Hopkinton company's results beat Wall Street estimates, but EMC said it would not issue any financial guidance due to the uncertain economy. EMC said its earnings for the quarter fell to $288 million.... Revenue rose 5 percent to $4.02 billion... as businesses continued to buy its typically recession-proof data storage products. EMC... is laying off 2,400 people (AP)."

And ON TOP of THAT:

"Justice Dept. is looking into EMC's sales to government" by Globe Staff And Wires | March 3, 2009

SEATTLE - EMC Corp., the world's biggest maker of storage computers, said the Justice Department is investigating allegations about the company's sales to the federal government.

The allegations relate to EMC's fee arrangements with partners and its compliance with the terms of certain contracts.... The company is in talks with the government about resolving the investigation without admitting guilt....

--more--"

But BUSINESS is BOOMING!

Yup, EMC is a CRIMINAL OUTFIT that RIPPED OFF the TAXPAYERS and is LAYING OFF AMERICANS while HIRING FOREIGNERS!!

There can be only ONE REASON, readers: $$$$$$$$$$$

Sorry.


"While we cannot discuss our specific hiring intentions," said EMC spokeswoman Lesley Ogrodnick, "with more H-1B visas available, we'll have the opportunity to hire or retain more of these employees if needed to achieve our short or long-term business needs."

Ron Hira, professor of public policy at Rochester Institute of Technology, said some companies have used H-1B visas as a way to hire cheaper foreign technology workers.

Oh, we FINALLY GET a LITTLE FART POOT of TRUTH from you, Globe, WAY BACK HERE in the DEEP-ASS END of the AGENDA-PUSHING ARTICLE?

NO WONDER YOU GUYS LOST $50 MILLION last year!!!!

Case closed on the Boston Globe, readers.

But Hira said many companies will retreat from H-1Bs, because they don't need new workers at any price right now.

????

So the "EXPERT" the Globe found CONTRADICTS HIMSELF and PROGRESS and EMC in the VERY NEXT SENTENCE?!!!

Globe..... !

"I think you'll see their demand way down, because those firms are not hiring," he said.

Actually, according to this article -- be it ONE or ONE HUNDRED -- they ARE!!!

The LIES NEVER STOP and now you have CONFIRMATION as to WHY the GLOBE IS TANKING!!!!!!

But (will you guys STOP IT with the COULD BE, IF, MAY BE, BUT, STILL) Hira noted the four biggest visa recipients last year were Infosys Technologies Ltd., Wipro Ltd., Satyam Computer Services Ltd., and Tata Consultancy Services Ltd., all giant Indian outsourcing companies. They have US subsidiaries that use the visas to bring foreign-born workers to the United States and hire them out as contract workers to American companies....

Jobs which the politicians and business leaders always SWEAR are YOURS, shit-chewing Americans!!!!
