jobs by Fortune 500 companies and their pyramids of Indian subcontractors.

companies to get renewable work permits, regardless of the backlogged line for green cards:.

But the EAGLE Act would likely ensure the Fortune 500’s Indian workforce would dominate the distribution of green cards.

Don Bacon (R-NE), the coleader of the Main Street Caucus, is also a supporter of the giveaway to investors, Fortune 500 companies, and foreign graduates.

The reduction happens because the bill opens up a huge pipeline of cheap labor for Fortune 500 companies based in California, New York, North Carolina, Texas, and Washington.

Section 7 of the bill “is an end-run around the annual green card limit,” Rep.

It allows certain temporary visa holders to file an application for Adjustment for Status, despite the fact that no green card is available to them.

The result is that many temporary visas will essentially become permanent because the alien visa holders will be able to live and work in the U.S.

The bill offers permanent work permits just two years after each foreign worker is approved for a green card.

This would mean that companies can recruit endless foreign workers for U.S.

The dangled “Employment Authorization” permits are extremely valuable because they allow foreign workers to work in many U.S.

jobs until they can receive their promised green cards.

The green cards can then be traded to get the deferred mega-bonus of American citizenship for themselves, their families, grandchildren, and all of their descendants.

There are no limits on the number of foreign workers who can be hired and then paid with the bill’s renewable work permits. These eligible workers could arrive via the uncapped H-2A visa for agricultural workers, the uncapped L-1 visa for corporate transfers, the uncapped H-1B visa for white-collar workers, the uncapped E-2 for franchise operators, or the uncapped F-1/OPT work-permit program for foreign graduates of U.S.

And, in the end, it would do nothing to reduce the line for employment-based green cards but would instead create more competition for American workers while lining the pockets of Big Tech.

The work-for-work-permits corporate giveaway is being hidden deep in the bill, while Democrats, advocates, and reporters tout the beneficial impact for the many Indian contract workers who have created their own huge backlog for green cards.

Congress should pass per-country cap reform, like the bipartisan EAGLE Act, to ensure fairness and begin reducing the green card backlogs.

The bill also includes language to protect families and address challenges brought on by the backlogs, including allowing individuals to file for adjustment of status before a green card is available to them if they have waited two years or more for an available visa.

Democrats and business leaders are pushing the bill amid a wave of layoffs by Fortune 500 companies that ensure rising unemployment and underemployment levels among American graduates.  For example, the bill is being pushed by Rep.

The vast majority (62%) of [American] college-educated workers who majored in a STEM [science, technology, engineering and math] field were employed in non-STEM fields such as non-STEM management, law, education, social work, accounting or counseling.

The visa programs are all about forcing down Americans’ wages, said one American who has been forced out of work by CEOs’ preference for cheaper Indian workers
