...A plan known as the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act introduced in the Senate by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Sen. Kamala Harris (R-CA), as well as Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), would eliminate the U.S. country caps in the legal immigration system that would fast track outsourcing of white-collar American jobs to mostly Indian and Chinese nationals imported to the country by businesses, outsourcing firms, and multinational corporations....
This would likely result in about 300,000 additional IT imports within 12 months or so.
It's a very large extension of the current situation, wherein Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Intel (and lots of others, such as Fiserv, GE Medical, and Deluxe Data) hire imported labor. Usually, these people are indentured servants because their green-card is tied to their employer: if they quit or are fired, they are tossed out of the USA.
The scheme is very simple: the US company will invent a "job description" which can ONLY be filled by foreign nationals by (for example) specifying software only used at the hiring firm and only "taught" offshore. Convenient, eh? The second way? Offer a pay package which is horrible to a US native with college debt, but which is just fine for an immigrant sharing a 2-bedroom apartment with 4 other indentured servants.
As Tucker Carlson said: if the US economy does not support US families, change it.
The Koch Brothers and their allies in Government have it slightly different: if US workers impair our profits, change THEM.
I'm sure Charlie Sykes will be along to tell us we're wrong.

I saw this at GE while a contractor.
