Americans for Immigration Control Don’t Fall for the STEM Worker Shortage Propaganda With nearly 13 million Americans officially out of work, and many more who are unemployed by any reasonable definition of the word, the corporate media keep up the constant drumbeat that the United States is facing a serious labor shortage and must keep our doors open to a flood of foreign workers, legal and illegal. The media propagandists and the economic interests they front for maintain that Americans are too lazy to do either unskilled jobs or skilled jobs. With respect to the latter, the media line is that we simply don’t have enough trained Americans in the STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). To meet this alleged shortage, the high-tech firms and their media mouthpieces call for expansion of the H-1B program that grants foreigners temporary visas to take American jobs. Many, however, end up staying permanently. H-1Bs totals are officially capped at 65,000 a year, but through various loopholes many more get in. Companies are supposed to verify that Americans aren’t available for employment before hiring H-1B visa holders, but this rule is easy to circumvent. There really isn’t a shortage of U.S. STEM workers, the firms simply prefer H-1Bs because they can pay them less. Take engineers, for example, a field where President Obama recently claimed we have a shortage. Currently there are 1.8 million U.S.-born people with engineering degrees who are either unemployed or are working in other fields. For more information about the bogus shortage of engineers see the link below. For more information about companies seeking H-1Bs in order to secure a lower-wage workforce, see the three links below. But it gets worse. Four U.S. senators, mouthing the shortage hype, are now proposing yet another program to obtain more foreign STEM workers. For commentary on this outrage go to AIC’s blog at: www.immigrationcontrol.com. And why is exposing the shortage hoax important? When Congress passed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in the nineties, numerous writers and pundits assured us the loss of middle-class jobs from free trade would be made up with new jobs in high-tech STEM fields. Now, however, a great many of those jobs are going to foreigners. Question: With Americans being cut out of middle-class jobs, how can we remain a middle-class society? To safeguard our economic future, we must refute and discredit the shortage myth propagated by most of the corporate media.
