@ifspp we bring together civic minded people to advocate on behalf of American workers harmed by employment visa programs & demand Congress enact reforms.

2016 Trump: “I will end forever the use of the H-1B as a cheap labor program, and institute an absolute requirement to hire American workers first.” 2024 Trump: “I promise to staple a Green Card to anyone who graduates from ANY college, even 2-yr community colleges.” This isn’t America First.

H-1B and L-1 visas have hollowed out opportunities for 🇺🇸 workers, leaving generations of families sidelined and dreams deferred. Here’s what Michael Emmons🇺🇸 and his family endured after he was asked to train his foreign replacements on these visas before being let go from Siemens:

After George H.W. Bush signed the 1990 immigration bill creating H-1B, it wasn’t long before stories emerged of Americans training their H-1B replacements. This is a segment from Dan Rather’s show in 1995 documenting AIG replacing U.S. IT workers with cheaper H-1Bs. Nearly four decades later, Congress has done absolutely nothing to stop this.

Alarming to see Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer get basic H-1B facts wrong. She claims employers must first advertise jobs to Americans first—which is FALSE. There’s no labor market test required, just self-attestation. How can you reform a program to protect Americans if you don’t understand it?

🧵 We warned of a massive surge in “Einstein” green card petitions driven by a cottage industry selling fake scientific credentials. Now a CBS investigation confirms it—exposing ghostwritten papers, paid awards, and credential inflation used to game the system. USCIS Director Joseph B. Edlow

🧵You thought the H-1B visa was bad? Wait until you hear about the largest guest worker program killing jobs for new American college grads—the Optional Practical Training (OPT): • No caps • Employers get payroll tax exemptions • No wage requirements NumbersUSA explains:

Countless Americans have been forced to train their own H-1B replacements, a practice so widespread that even 60 Minutes documented it. This has been going on since the program was created in 1990. Invoking Einstein and von Neumann is absurd. Neither came on an H-1B visa. They were extraordinary intellectual talents, not interchangeable workers filling ordinary corporate jobs. The modern H-1B system largely serves employers seeking cheaper labor by exploiting the immigration dependence of workers willing to accept lower pay for a chance to stay in America.

“Using H-1B workers to replace capable and willing American citizens is turning entire communities upside down. Left unchecked it’ll turn our nation upside down” -Stacy Whetzell (TVA Engineer) It isn’t just illegal immigration hurting America Elon Musk!

Suppose you're an employer looking to bypass the H-1B quota and want to bring in a foreign worker from your satellite office in India at their local salary, there's a visa for that—the L-1 visa! This is the visa that was used to replace Michael Emmons🇺🇸 and his colleagues at Siemens:
