Agency [DHS] Imports 85,000 White Collar Foreign Workers for U.S. Jobs
[Breitbart] Executives are using a 1990 law to import another 85,000 mixed skill, lottery picked, contract worker, foreign graduates for U.S. white collar jobs — despite high unemployment among the nation’s young college grads.

The 2025 inflow was announced Friday by an agency within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS): “U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services [USCIS] has received enough petitions to reach the congressionally mandated 65,000 H-1B visa regular cap and the 20,000 H-1B visa U.S. advanced degree exemption, known as the master’s cap, for fiscal year 2026.”

But the same agency also announced on Thursday it is drafting a regulation to change how companies import the H-1B workers.
Fair enough. To slam the thing to a full stop without allowing for planning and transition would be too disruptive, given this crop must have been planned by the employers last year. So long as next year is different.
The cryptic announcement merely said: “Weighted Selection Process for Registrants and Petitioners Seeking To File Cap-Subject H-1B Petitions.” The announcement did not provide a schedule or a description of the draft regulation, but the rules may match the short-lived reforms set by President Donald Trump’s deputies in 2021.

The new regulation “is a good idea,” said Kevin Lynn, founder of U.S. Tech Workers, which advocates for U.S. professionals. For example, a Trump-style regulation that allocates visas to companies offering higher pay would “make it less predatory towards more ordinary tech workers and [to new] graduates entering STEM fields,” he said.

USCIS officials recently narrowed the white-collar TN visa worker program, ending its use by foreign doctors, computer experts, welders, and electricians.

#3 It's been a scam for 50 years to keep wages down. Grow your own? Why bother to put in the effort if you are simply going to be replaced in this manner.

Tell me again why you support re-industrializing America by bring back home production when you allow this happen to your workers?

#5 Bringing in VISA workers may be the only solution for the upcoming generation ____'s survival.

Given the Smartphone, has raised 2 generations, with so many now too lazy to even go into a store to shop.

Heck, many fast food places around here have gone to Computer Ordering and E-pay now, because this generation is too lazy or won't work weekends, or walks off with the $$$$ mid-shift.

IF they even basic math skills to make change for a dollar.

#6 ^ Keep in mind today's generation is working for a lot of woke f-cks and hippies from our days. I owned my own business for 40 years. In that time I had some younger staff out work me and some who didn't. Kids today are no different from the 70's, 80's or 90's, the elders always complained about the lazy. They haven't had to endure the atomic bomb drills in school but they have seen the bad side of the internet. I am very positive about the kids coming out of midwest colleges. Today's medical and engineering students are getting world class educations. It's their woke employers who cause the problems.

#8 ...its about focus. I recall the first Gulf War. We had time standards for equipping your MOP protection gear. When the threat was real, most troops in country could beat the standard by half.
