1 Harmeet Dhillon: ‘Main Focus’ Is Corporate Discrimination Against Americans

“We have absolutely ramped this up big time, and it’s our main focus,” Dhillon told streamer Sara Gonzales on September 2. “Almost all of our new cases involving labor discrimination actually involve discrimination against Americans,” she said.

“We’re working together with EEOC and the Department of Labor to put a stop to this discrimination and make sure there’s a level playing field for the American worker,” she said.

Dhillon’s statements were applauded by activists for American professionals. “To the fullest extent of the law, she’s doing a great deal,” said Kevin Lynn, founder of U.S. Tech Workers, which campaigns for American professionals. He added:

Progress is being made, and it’s being made on two fronts. The electorate is becoming energized on this [visa worker] issue … [so] it’s a losing electoral issue for any candidate in this one, especially Republicans … [and] it is pressuring the administration to make it a priority.

Breitbart News has diligently covered the growing evidence that the federal government’s many visa-worker programs — including the uncapped H-1B program — are being arbitraged by U.S. companies for maximum corporate profits.

The programs are also used by executives for personal gain via featherbedding and kickbacks. For example, the federal government recently convicted an Indian migrant for selling a well-paid job to another Indian migrant. The job was at a UnitedHealth Group subsidiary, Optum, that helps to manage health care for U.S. veterans.

More than 1.5 million visa workers hold jobs in place of Americans.
