Welcome! 
Illegal immigration is bad but is not the real threat to America and the economy. If the number 1 & 2 current issues on the minds of the vast majority of Americans is truly jobs and immigration then the focus needs to shift to “legal” immigration in stead of the illegal type. The real questions to the public should be “Whether the U.S. should allow the replacement of U.S. workers with foreigners imported under the several visa programs and should Government hire foreigners in stead of U.S workers?”
Based on Government figures, every year over 200,000 U.S. workers are fired and replaced by foreigners imported for the specific purpose of replacing the competent U.S. worker. In summary, Visas (H-1b, L-1, O-1 and TN) are used to replace competent U.S. workers thus harming both the American and the economy. Currently, there are 850,000 U.S. jobs being occupied by foreigners imported under the visa programs. There is no shortage of Americans to fill those jobs. The majority of imported foreigners were brought to the U.S to replace competent U.S. workers. Thus, there are at least 850,000 competnert, formerly employed, U.S. workers on welfare straining the U.S. budget and not inputting into the U.S. economy.
The true scale of the harm is visible by understanding that in the past 20 years approximately 6,000,000 U.S. workers have been forced out of their careers and put on public welfare so that employers could replace them with foreigners. The U.S. taxpayer has and continues to picked up the tab to support the unemployed masses. The U.S. Dept. of Labor statistics and studies from several Universities, establish that there has never been a year with a “shortage” of U.S. workers to fill all the jobs, especially in the computer field. Yet, Congress takes money every year from employers to allow the replacement of qualified U.S. workers with low pay foreign workers. Wall Street claims that there is a shortage of worker to fill their needs. Yet, with ever growing frequency, U.S. workers are forced to train their foreign replacements, who are unqualified to do the job. Thus far, big business has yet to explain how there could be a “shortage” when business must fire competent U.S. workers to make room for foreigners.
There is no harm to the U.S. economy to send the foreigners home especially since most do not pay taxes. Because the foreign worker is considered a “guest-worker” the employer does not take out any employment taxes. The foreigners do not pay Social Security Taxes but do use the government health net, schools, roads, and other infrastructure. Further, the foreigners do not pay for the social cost of supporting the out of work American and their families. Also, the foreigners send their savings home to their foreign country thus depriving the U.S. economy of any extra earnings from the savings.
For the past 15 years, it is undisputed that the H-1B program has been used by most, if not all, companies to replace U.S. workers with foreign workers. Because of Congress, a company uses their competent American worker to train H-1B foreigners, then fires the American worker and reduces the pay to the H-1B foreigner. Congress has always known of this practice to replace U.S. workers and in response passed laws to make it easier to do so.
