Indian mega-firms (based in India, USA, UK...) behind the H-1B visa crisis
"As The Economic Times reported: 'The majority of the work done by H1B employers is really not specialist work.   Most of them have between 3 to 8 years of experience and they go on to do work for large «IT» departments for USA [and, under similar programs, UK and German] banks, insurance companies, telecom operators.'...   they ignored [or tried to hide or deny] the wage stagnation caused by the plane-loads of H-1B workers flying legally into the country from India...   If you take a look at the list of the top companies spending money lobbying [against] immigration reform, you'll see a lot of instantly recognizable household names in the world of high tech and consumer electronics like Intel, MSFT, and FB.   However, one name won't be familiar to most Americans: a company called Cognizant.   Cognizant Technology Solutions is a New Jersey based company that delivers 'IT', consulting, and out-sourcing services [i.e. bodyshopping].   Even though most people have never heard of them, Cognizant is a significant player in the world of H-1B and the politics of immigration reform...and its stock just received a 'buy' rating from 17 of 19 brokerages.   Cognizant isn't the only big player in the outsourcing world: other major companies include Infosys, Wipro and Tata...   Why are companies like Cognizant spending so much on lobbying?   It's simple business: they make a lot more on the H-1B Visa program than they spend on lobbying...   As India's GlobalPost reported: '...For Indian workers, a job in the USA means opportunities and money.   For the [cross-border bodyshops], the Indian «IT» workers are significantly cheaper than their American counterparts -- by about 25%...   Sometimes, it's not just jobs being lost...it's valuable USA trade secrets..."

Mark Zuckerberg's long-standing ties to RINOs Lindsey Olin Grahamnesty & Haley Reeves Barbour
"...Zuckerberg has worked with pro-comprehensive immigration reform [i.e. opponents of visa & immigration reform, and opponents of border security] GOP insiders extensively to boost Silicon Valley's use of controversial H-1B visas.   Zuckerberg's relationship with Haley Barbour, Lindsey Graham, and other pro-amnesty [, anti-immigration-reform RINOs] began back in 2013 when New York senator Chuck Schumer and his bipartisan group of Senators known as the Gang of Eight were trying to wrangle support for their [reprehensible immigration law perversion package (S744)] but couldn't quite figure out where to fit the tech industry into their plans.   The Gang of Eight had been delegating some of the work to high dollar special interest and lobbying groups.   Schumer and his Gang made the strategic decision to use the [Chamber of Crony Socialists] and the AFL-CIO to fight it out and negotiate a deal that they could turn into policy...   While the conservative grass-roots and the GOP-led House of Representatives were largely [for reform and] dead set against the Gang of Eight's immigration push, groups like FreedomWorks and the Club for Growth both decided to sit out the immigration battle, leaving the Heritage Foundation as one of the only organizations to fight.   The [anti-reform side thought] that they had the advantage, as NBC Latino reported in 2013...   On the left, Bloomberg reported on the involvement of the former chief strategist for billionaire and institutional left funder George Soros, Stanely Druckmiller:   'Druckenmiller, 60, who has one of the [worst] hedge-fund track records of the last 3 decades, joins technology titans including MSFT Corp. chairman Bill Gates and LinkedIn Corp. executive-chairman Reid Hoffman, who've donated to Zuckerberg's...'...   Barbour himself has been an active voice [against] immigration reform, forming alliances on the issue with figures that most conservatives would find repugnant...   One of BGR Group's top current clients is the Republic of India.   That's significant to the guest-worker issue because about half of all H-1B visas go to Indian nationals.   Additionally, Indian companies like Infosys [Tata, Cognizant, Convergys, Wipro, HCL, Larsen & Toubro] are major beneficiaries of the guest-worker program.   India has spent more than half a million dollars with the BGR Group this year alone, showing that Barbour and company have worked both sides of the immigration point: [cheap, pliant] low-skill workers from the southern border and [cheap, young, pliant] high-tech workers [of indefinite skill levels and ethics] from India...   Given his work [against] immigration reform, it's not surprising Haley Barbour has been a loud critic of Donald Trump..."

Turkey warns USA not to hire Turkish teachers for USA Guelen schools through H-1B visa program
"Usually when a foreign government intervenes in the USA labor market it is either to protect the interests of individual foreign workers or to see to it that the USA keeps hiring them in general.   But Turkey, through its lawyer, Robert Amsterdam, has just issued a statement saying that a group of Turkish-run charter schools in the United States has been using an American visa scheme:   'that places under-qualified Turkish teachers into key positions in its schools, while simultaneously underpaying its more qualified non-Turkish teachers'.   Turkey is not making these statements out of a concern for American students in those schools, or for the American teachers who are not now working because of the hiring of the H-1B teachers from Turkey, or because the [Obummer regime] sought such a statement.   It is doing so because of a world-wide struggle between the increasingly authoritarian Turkish government of President Recep Erdogan and the followers of a cult led by Fethullah Gulen, a Muslim cleric living in self-imposed exile in the Poconos.   Gulen's followers have used the loosely managed charter school system to create some 150 charter schools of their own in the USA, all of which are 100% funded by local tax dollars, and most of which have unpublicized links to other Gulen entities.   Gulen and Erdogan once were allies in Turkey, both seeking to change the pro-Western society created by Kemal Ataturk after World War 1.   Gulen's followers were said to be strongly entrenched in law enforcement and in the judiciary, as well as running a number of academic institutions.   They fell out a few years ago and Erdogan now regards Gulen's people not just as adversaries, but as terrorists.   Bearing that background in mind, I accepted an invitation to attend a Brookings Institute conference in Washington on charter schools a few weeks ago.   When the time came for questions, I asked about the peculiar hiring policies of the Gulen schools, and got little in the way of response from the panel.   But at a break in the session 3 Turkish participants came to see me, 2 of them from what turned out to be Erdogan-controlled newspapers.   They told me that the FBI is investigating the Gulen schools 'for not handling money properly'.   The third told me that the other 2 were from Erdogan-related entities.   Gulen's tentacles are not confined to Turkey and the USA.   His people run schools and other activities in the parts of the Balkans once under Ottoman rule, and in the 'stans of Central Asia, where Turkic influences are strong..."

the fall of the USA republic?
"...'I do not think that it was by arms that our ancestors made the republic great from being small.   Had that been the case, the republic of our day would have been by far more flourishing than that of their times, for a number of our allies and citizens is far greater; and, besides, we possess a far greater abundance of armour and horses than they did.   But it was other things than these that made them great, and we have none of them: industry at home, just government without, a mind free in deliberation, addicted neither to crime nor to lust.   Instead of these, we have luxury and avarice, poverty in the state, opulence among citizens; we laud riches, we follow laziness; there is no difference made between good and bad; all the rewards of virtue are got possession of by intrigue.   And no wonder, when every individual consults only for his own good, when ye are slaves of pleasure at home, and, in public affairs, of money and favour, no wonder than an onslaught is made upon the unprotected people.'   Does that sound familiar?   It is attributed to Cato the Younger, circa 63BCE, a statesman in the latter part of the Roman Empire..."

  "In the central Mediterranean, the existence of 3 rival high cultures, the Greek, the Carthaginian, and the Etruscan, complicated but in no wise hindered the diffusion of civilization.   Conflict centered mainly in Sicily, where Greek cities struggled indecisively with imperial Carthage for more than 2 centuries, until the Romans intervened with crushing superiority in the First Punic War (264-241BCE) and made Sicily into the first Roman province.   A subsidiary theater of conflict existed briefly along the western face of Italy, where Etruscans and Greeks confronted one another.   But a Greek naval victory at Cumae (c. 473BCE) compelled the Etruscans to withdraw from Campania and probably made the liberation of Rome from Etruscan control finally secuire.   Thereafter, the Latin League under Roman leadership interposed an effective native buffer between the Greeks and their Etruscan rivals.   Etruria, Carthage, and the Greek cities of southern Italy and Sicility maintained a lively trade, both among themselves and with the various more backward communities of the western Mediterranean coast." --- William Hardy McNeill 1963, 1964 _The Rise of the West_ pg275

  "In 1789 congress banned slavery from the NorthWest Territory; in 1794 it banned the exportation of slaves from America; in 1808 it banned the importation of slaves into America.   But in 1820 Democrats gained control of congress for the first time.   They enacted the Missouri Compromise, thus reversing the 1789 policy and allowing slavery into some federal territories where it had been previously prohibited.   For the first time slavery was being not just tolerated but officially expanded by the federal government.   The Missouri Compromise was strenuously opposed by the few Fouding Fathers still alive at the time.   Elias Boudinot, a president of congress during the Revolution and a framer of the Bill of Rights, warned that this new pro-slavery direction by congress would bring 'and end to the happiness of the United States'; a frail John Adams feared that lifting the slavery prohibition would destroy America; James Madison confessed that the new policy 'fills me with no slight anxiety', and foreseeing what would become the Civil War, he worried that pitting slave states against free states woudl result in 'awful shocks against each other'.   But perhaps no one from that generation was as greatly distressed as the elderly 77-year-old Jefferson, who was dismayed, frustrated, and even depressed by the passage of that law and the retreat from emancipation that it represented.   He lamented, 'In the gloomiest moment of the Revolutionary War, I never had any apprehensions equal to what I feel from this source.'   Jefferson confided to a fellow political leader: '...But this momentous question like a fire bell in the night, awakened and filled me with terror.   I considered it at once as the knell of the Union...   I regret that I am now to die in the belief that the useless sacrifice of themselves by the generation of 1776 to acquire self-government and happiness to their country is to be thrown away by the unwise and unworthy passions of their sons...   [This is an] act of suicide on themselves, and of treason against the hopes of the world...   The cession of that kind of «property», for so it is misnamed, is a bagatelle which would not cost me a second thought if in that way a general emancipation and expatriation could be effected...   But as it is, we have the wolf by the ears and we can neither hold him off nor safely let him go.'" --- David Barton 2012 _The Jefferson Lies: Exposing the Myths You've Always Believed About Thomas Jefferson_ pp107-108 (citing 1820-03-06 "Missouri Comprise" at _Teaching American History_; George Adams Boyd 1952 _Elias Boudinot_ pg290; John Adams & Charles Francis Adams 1856 _The Works of John Adams_ vol10 pg386; James Madison & Gaillard Hunt 1910 _The Writings of James Madison_ vol9 pg12; Thomas Jefferson & Paul Leicester Ford 1901 _The Works of Thomas Jefferson_ vol12 pg157; Thomas Jefferson & Thomas Jefferson Randolph 1830 _Memoir, Correspondence, and Miscellanies_ vol4 pp323-324)
