Where is Trump when Working Americans Need Him?

Paul Craig Roberts

Divisions are already appearing in MAGA ranks. President-elect Trump and Elon Musk have aligned with the H-1B work visas  that allow foreigners to be brought in to fill American jobs.  This disappoints the Trump working class that believed making America great again meant they were going to get their jobs back.  

American corporations, universities, and non-profit organizations like H-1B work visas for a variety of reasons.  A H-1B visa recipient is an indentured  servant. He or she is paid substantially less but cannot leave the employer for higher pay as the visa is tied to the specific employer. This also has the result of denying the indentured servant employment or protest rights as the indentured servant’s presence in the US is tied to the visa that is tied to the employer. For example, a H-1B visa holder cannot file a discrimination complaint. 

As Senator Bernie Sanders puts it:

“The main function of the H-1B visa program is not to hire ‘the best and the brightest,’ but rather to replace good-paying American jobs with low-wage indentured servants from abroad. The cheaper the labor they hire, the more money the billionaires make.” https://www.rt.com/news/610400-bernie-sanders-elon-musk-visas/   ...........more.........
