How could the U.S. Government protect American workers from being replaced by the betrayal of corporate executives? There are four (4) answers and each is very simple.
First, Congress can eliminate the “Guest-Worker” visas completely as the U.S. has a sufficient domestic workforce exists to supply business with all the labor needed to meet its needs.
Undisputedly, the U.S. is producing well over 100% of the needs of U.S. business for college graduates at all levels. No one still seriously argues a “shortage” of "skilled" U.S. workers. http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/jolts.pdf; http://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=372; http://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d14/tables/dt14_318.10.asp; http://www.informationweek.com/news/205601556?pgno=3; http://www.urban.org/UploadedPDF/411562_Salzman_Science.pdf
Even the U.S. Congress admits there is no longer a need to import foreign workers or foreign students who are replacing competent American workers. http://dailycaller.com/2015/04/09/senators-ask-feds-to-investigate-guest-worker-visa-abuse/
Second, what do corporations fear about the United Kingdom? The British have a “smashing” idea. British laws provide that if a company out sources all or part of its business to a foreign service provider then the affected British employees are entitled to become employees of the new service provider on the same terms and conditions as their original employment. In England, if the importing corporation does not hire the affected employee then those affected employees “are automatically considered unfair dismissals that entitle such employees to compensation.”
The British government treats its citizens fairly – unlike the U.S. Congress. Congress should adopt the British law creating a presumption of illegal employment practices; and that when the affected U.S. worker is not hired and retained by the importing company then the remedy is all back pay and four (4) years future pay to allow the U.S. victim time to readjust.
In addition, Congress should fund the Department of Justice in order to create a 100 attorney section dedicated to investigating and prosecuting the illegal conduct of corporations that import foreign workers to replace competent U.S. workers. Such conduct should carry criminal penalties, including jail time for the corporate executive in charge of staffing, as well as, a fine for the corporation of no less than $500,000 per incident.
The third remedy adopts the United Kingdom’s requirement of a “resident labor market test” to confirm that no [U.S. worker] is available to take the job. This remedy strikes at the heart of the importing corporations who admit that their success will depend on their ability to attract and retain employees from India. They admit: “The vast majority of our professionals in the United States and in Europe are Indian nationals.” The importing corporations admit in writing that their ability to do business in the U.S. “depends on . . . our ability to obtain the necessary visas and work permits” to import and replace American workers.
In short, the businesses that import intentionally EXCLUDE FROM EMPLOYMENT CONSIDERATION ALL U.S. WORKERS.
Congress could direct the Bureau of Labor Statics to report on the need to import foreign labor into the United States. This will stop the wholesale replacement of competent U.S. workers and give U.S. students a fair chance at employment.
Also, if Congress were to prohibit the replacement of any U.S worker by an imported foreign worker that would stop the free flow of imports to replace American workers – except for the fraudulent imports currently practiced.
Fourth, in the case of fraudulent importation of foreign workers, Congress could direct the Secretary of State to order all U.S. Embassies to investigate and document each and every Guest-Worker visa. Also, Congress could direct the Department of Labor to investigate and document each and every Guest-Worker visas and potential employers in the U.S. for truthfulness.
