Good News This Labor Day - There’s a Crowdsourced Insurgency Jamming Corporate America’s H-1B Job Replacement Scheme

On this Labor Day, the old labor battles, especially management vs labor, are fading as a new battle emerges – globalist, America-last corporations versus job-seeking Americans.

“Diversity” has been an excuse to replace Americans with cheap foreign labor who are effectively indentured servants on American soil. US citizens are let go from their jobs, then the corporations who dismissed the American workers sub-contract the work out to labor importers who maintain a plantation-like hold on the foreign workers they control. The H-1B visa program allows up to 85,000 Americans per year to be replaced by foreign labor brought to American shores, and once here, there is another fraud-riddled process to grant these foreign laborers permanent status.

The Economic Policy Institute investigated and learned that the top thirty H-1B employers by themselves hired 34,000 new H-1B workers in 2022 alone, while laying off 85,000 workers.

As awful as this anti-American program is, the primary target has been American tech workers, and they are smart enough to be able to use tech to fight back. An online campaign has gone viral to counter the deceptively dishonest measures being used by those hiring foreign labor. Specifically, employers are required by law to prove that there are no qualified American applicants. Their scheme is now being jammed, and the beneficiaries of the transoceanic labor-trade are starting to protest the unfairness of Americans fighting back.

Candace Hathaway wrote a piece a few days ago titled “America last: Is Big Tech hiding jobs from US citizens to hire cheaper foreign labor from India and China?” The piece is excellent, and I encourage you to read it, but to boil it all down to a few bullet points, here is what is going on:

• Corporations are replacing U.S. citizens as employees with cheaper foreign H-1B labor. 71% of H-1B employees are Indian and 12% are Chinese nationals.

• Employers then seek “PERM” status for these H-1B workers. PERM is a Labor Department status allowed if no U.S. citizen who is “minimally qualified” can be found to fill the position.

• The employer must prove that there are no minimally qualified US citizens, so they place a couple of job postings in obscure newspaper classified ads, or on obscure job boards. These jobs tend to not even be posted on the companies’ own job boards, much less popular job-seeking sites such as Linked-In or Indeed.

• The jobs are often already filled before the job-posting charade is initiated.

• Some tech employees have created an online jobs board called “Jobs.now” to aggregate these virtually hidden job postings.

• A guerilla online movement is accessing these jobs at Jobs.now and flooding employers with job applications. By law, employers cannot ignore these applications if they want to hire foreigners to do jobs Americans are applying for.

The campaign is working.

Immigration attorney Anna K. Gorisch went on Twitter to condemn the flood of job applicants who are jamming up the H-1B scam, lamenting that “Flooding companies with unserious applications just to deny an H-1B worker permanent residence sponsorship is the labor market equivalent of a DDoS attack. Every applicant who appears to meet the minimum requirements must be contacted and all communication documented. Resumes might be fake or there may be a key skill they are missing, but no HR department has the capacity to follow up with hundreds of facially qualified applicants, so they just give up.”

How tragic. The HR departments of companies seeking to evade US labor law must engage with and respond to United States citizens applying for jobs in the United States.

Prominent politicians who understand which way the political winds are blowing are lining up behind American workers and against the brokers of semi-chattel foreign labor. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis rightfully labels the H-1B system a scam, stating that "I think you're right to say the H-1B, it's become a total scam. These companies game the system. Some of these companies are laying off large numbers of Americans while also hiring new H-1B workers and renewing existing H-1B visas."

DeSantis strategist and former spokesman Christina Pushaw has been punching back at those accusing the grass-roots H-1B pushback of engaging in illicit behavior. Ms. Pushaw stated that Jobs.now “always advises Americans to apply ONLY if they meet the qualifications for a listed job. They aren't encouraging ‘unserious’ applications or unqualified candidates to bombard these companies. The fact is, a lot of H1Bs are in tech jobs, and a lot of tech companies have recently laid off American workers. So it follows that there are many Americans in tech currently looking for work and qualified for jobs in their field. This is how the labor market SHOULD work.”

She also addresses the underlying complaint against Jobs.now by stating, “Applying for jobs isn’t a crime.”

A gentleman who uses the name “Chief Engineer” (@ChiefNiftyswell) on Twitter/X has done an excellent job documenting all this, writing in response to Ms. Gorisch:


When Americans flood PERM job postings with real applications, it forces companies to admit the truth:

• They’re not short on talent.
• They’re not desperate for foreign labor.
• They’re overwhelmed with qualified Americans

This tweet is their confession. They call it a “DDoS attack.” We call it accountability. Because when the system has to respond to hundreds of qualified Americans, the fake shortage collapses.”
