Some of you may be interested in signing an H-1B related petition

[David Hardy]

The malice-aforethought intent, in my opinion, is to actually put American
citizens out of work;  I was laid off over two years ago from IBM and our
jobs were offshored to India and Slovakia.  Unemployed ever since, other
than occasional contract and temp gigs, despite twenty years of solid IT
experience across multiple hw and sw platforms, most recently RHEL and
CentOS.

And the government is evidently in bed with the corporations who engage in
this practice.  Asking them to investigate is like unto asking the police
to investigate one of their seemingly endless brutality and/or civil rights
violations.


"The petition is directed at U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch and asks
her to launch a formal investigation into the H-1B visa program." - See

Somehow I don't feel confident that the AG's office will lift a finger for
us, other than the usual mealy-mouthed PR platitudes and corporate-written
bromides.

Meanwhile they keep telling us how hard it is to find qualified American
workers to do these incredibly complex and intricate jobs.
