President Donald Trump signed a new executive order Monday that seeks to prioritize federal agencies hiring U.S. citizens and green card holders over foreign workers for high-skilled contract work.
The Hiring American order limits federal agencies’ abilities to hire temporary foreign workers for high-skilled contract work and specifically prevents agencies from firing and replacing citizens and permanent residents with temporary workers in IT contract positions. The order also directs the government to conduct a study to assess how many temporary foreign workers are federally employed contractors, according to Bloomberg
“President Trump will not tolerate lucrative federal contractors firing hardworking Americans in the pursuit of cheap foreign labor, like at the Tennessee Valley Authority,” White House assistant press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Daily Caller of the order. “Today’s Executive Order prevents this tragedy from occurring, encourages federal employers to hire Americans first, and yet again delivers on the President’s promise to secure jobs on the homeland.”

Keep those foreigners in their own countries...once they get here they want to change our society to match what they left....let them straighten out their problems at home!!! Trump / Pence 2020
ReplyDeleteI agree 100%. Let these foreign doctors, scientists and engineers straighten out their problems at home while you concentrate on the problems at your trailer park. Works for me!
DeleteHaving been 'displaced' a couple of times earlier in my career by the abuse of this system, I am very happy to see this change!
ReplyDeleteYes, it will impact the American business' bottom line - but the income will be earned by Americans and the money will stay here instead of being sent to other countries!
Hooray. YAY. So glad he did this. Foreigners, stay home, work there, live there. Straighten your own country out instead of trying to make ours a dump like yours. Vote Trump/Pence 2020!!
ReplyDelete9:14 we're a melting pot you idiot. If you had your job "stolen" by an immigrant guess what, they either outworked you or shame on the company for cutting expenses by paying an immigrant less to improve their bottom line. Why is the blame always on an immigrant trying to make a better life and not the companies that are underpaying them rather than hiring Americans? Oh I know the answer! $$$$$
ReplyDelete1049 what ? Take a class on immigration vs temporary work visa it would make you less angry
DeleteWay overdue. America reset underway!
ReplyDeleteTrades will be our new country strength!
1049 that's a great point. Immigrants have long been the scapegoat for greedy companies not hiring American in the first place. Can't shame a person for wanting a better life.
ReplyDeleteWhat does a immigrate have to do with J1 ?
Delete1140 Can't shame - absolutely. Mindset needs to change with greedy co's. That would help long-term (which none of them think) so ALL of our TRILLIONS debt won't continue to get deeper. Don't know about anyone else, I'm sick thinking about the eventual payment (AMERICANS) we all and our generations for years will be paying. AMERICANS paying - not anyone else. I.e., non US citizens. Talk about slave labor with no benefit to AMERICANS.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until businesses start going under because lazy Americans won't do these jobs. It'll serve them right for supporting Trump.
