If Hillary Clinton is elected you can plan on being unemployed or under-employed in a matter of months, with illegal aliens living in welfare housing in every city, town and village.... the plan is simple.. replace expensive American workers with cheap foreign labor... leaving you on welfare and poor.. Hillary Clinton Barack Obama live behind guarded walls as the super rich.. leaving you to die outside.. Black Americans already feel the pain.. nobody will hire a Negro.. too much cost.. too much trouble.. so they hire illegal aliens, but now.. Look at McDonalds...
McDonald’s, has quietly
outsourced the jobs of 70 white-collar professionals in Ohio to foreign H-1B
workers.
The H-1Bs outsourcing in the nation’s heartland showcases the
growing corporate effort to use foreign H-1B workers to cut workforces of
American white-collar professionals, and it comes after companies have used
waves of legal and illegal migrants to slash blue-collar jobs and wages in Ohio
and around the country.
Also, the 70 Ohio jobs
that McDonalds outsourced to lower wage foreign graduates are not Silicon
Valley technology and software jobs — they’re white-collar accounting jobs
performed by graduates from mainstream business schools. That outsourcing of
mainstream business jobs spotlights the growing movement of foreign workers
into all corners of the nation’s white-collar professional economy.
White-collar outsourcing
“is not just a Silicon Valley thing anymore, it is happening all over” the
country, said Steve Camarota, head of research at the Center for Immigration
Studies.
The outsourcing in Columbus, Ohio, was explained as a cost
saving effort by a McDonald’s spokeswoman. “To deliver $500 million in savings,
the vast majority by the end of 2017, we are restructuring many aspects of our
business, including an accounting function,” said spokeswoman Terri
Hickey.
The outside contractor is Genpact,
a New York-based firm that outsources work to Indians who are allowed to work
in the United States for several years once they get an H-1B visa. The company
is a spinoff from General Electric, and its biggest owner is Bain Capital. “Thank
you for your inquiry but we are unable to comment on details of our client
engagements due to confidentiality,” Gail Marold, the Genpact spokeswoman, told
Breitbart News.
The outsourcing deal was revealed when McDonalds sought federal taxpayers’ funds to compensate the 70 fired
Americans.
The outsourcing news comes as Donald Trump campaigns on the popular promise to reform the H-1B and
immigration programs and while Hillary
Clinton is promising to expand companies’ hiring of foreign blue-collar and white-collar
workers.
Over
the last 20 years, many Americans companies have outsourced their computer and
software departments, often to Indian firms such as Tata Consulting. The foreign companies use the H-1B
guest worker program to bring their lower wage foreign graduates to work in
American office parks. That expanding trend has been extensively documented by
specialist publications, such as ComputerWorld.
But American companies are now trying to outsource more
varieties of jobs, including accounting, healthcare and design jobs. For
example, American universities have hired H-1Bs for 100,000 prestigious jobs, including professors,
lecturers, doctors, therapists, scientists and researchers. Engineering giant
Caterpillar continues to hire H-1B workers in Illinois as it fires hundreds of
American engineers and other white-collar workers, DeLoitte
and other U.S. accounting firms have asked for more than 20,000 H-1B visas to
replace American business-school graduates.
That growth and expansion is repeating the pattern among
blue-collar workers, where millions of American farm-workers, meat-packers,
janitors, hotel workers, groundskeepers, and restaurant workers have been
gradually replaced by millions of legal or illegal, temporary or permanent,
foreign workers since the 1980s. That blue-collar outsourcing began in the farm
fields of Texas and California, and then expanded to Wisconsin dairies, Milwaukee bakeries, Nebraska slaughterhouses, Oregon apple orchards, New York supermarkets, and all of the nation’s major cities. During the same period, blue-collar
wages stalled and the resulting rise in profits exploded stock values.
Now the various immigrants and guest workers are moving up the
wage scale from blue-collar jobs towards the white-collar jobs that provide
some sense of financial stability in a fast changing economy
Ohio, for example, is now home to roughly 13,000 H-1Bs, of which
roughly 4,000 are employed at universities with “cap exempt” visas.
The H-1Bs are being hired in Ohio to work as designers and
business forecasters at Abercrombie & Fitch, credit analysts at JP Morgan,
accountants at Accenture, scientists at Abbott Laboratories, researchers at
Ohio State University, and also as therapists, software programmers and
business analysts at many other firms.
Nationwide, roughly 650,000 H-1Bs
are working for companies in the United States, alongside many
other hundreds of thousands of guest workers with L-1, B-1 and other white
collar visas. The
In
Ohio, roughly 1,200 foreign
post-graduate students are
working in prestigious white-collar jobs, via the ‘Optional Practical Training’
visa. Without that visa program, most of those jobs would have gone to new
graduates born in Ohio. Nationwide, at least 120,000
foreign college grads are
working in jobs sought by Americans graduates, and this OPT outsourcing channel
will sharply increase in the next few years because the visa was expanded by President Barack Obama.
Federal rules do not set
any limits on the supply of H-1Bs or OPTs, nor do they require that Americans
be interviewed for or be told about the jobs that are being outsourced.
Similarly, the result for paying H-1Bs allow them to be be paid far lessSeveral

or debt burdened recent graduates.
Several
states are also allowing illegals to work in licensed
professional jobs, including as teachers, lawyers and doctors.
Generally, the impact of
this outsourcing trend on Americans has been underplayed by media outlets, who
prefer to focus on the concerns of migrants now living in the United States.
“There is never, ever a reporter in Ohio who honestly covers how
open immigration negatively affects Ohioans,” says local activist Julia
Aldrich, who works with the Federation for American immigration Reform. “If they ever give
any coverage [about Americans] at all it is a one-sentence quote verses the
rest of the article’s support for how great illegal aliens or refugees, etc.
are for Ohioans,” she told Breitbart.
“Wages are being suppressed because so many people are using the
visa program,” said Hughey Newsome, a consultant with degrees from Harvard and
Stanford who worked as technology consultant in Ohio in 2012. “This is
something a lot of people don’t understand,” he told Breitbart.
“I’ve seen it in Ohio,” he said, when he worked for a company
that helps manufacturers. “Definitely more and more in Ohio and throughout
the Midwest, in the manufacturing center and through the business sector, a
lot of multinationals are using a ‘shared served service model,’” in which many
support tasks are outsourced to subcontractors, he said.
“They’re doing it because its cheaper,” he added. But “they’ll
hire more Americans if the cost of H-1Bs goes up” in line with reforms proposed by Donald Trump, he said.
Several other
professionals in Ohio who were contacted by Breitbart about the outsourcing
trend declined to talk on the record, fearing they could be identified and
blackballed by hiring companies.
Throughout Ohio, the population of foreign-born adults has risen
rapidly over the last few years. This state-wide population include the H-1B and
OPT guest workers, plus legal immigrants and illegal migrants, plus refugees
and asylum recipients. For example, the number of foreign-born people in
Ohio grew from 339,270 in 2000 up to 469,191 in 2014, according to the Center for Immigration Studies. Those numbers doesn’t count
the children of immigrants, and it adds up to one immigrant for every four
African-American in the state.
Many new arrivals are sufficiently educated to compete directly
with American-born college graduates. According to the federal census data,
half of the foreign-born earn more than $47,409 in 2015, and roughly 40 percent of the foreign-born who older than age
25 have college degrees. Forty percent of the foreign-born have a high
school degree or less.
The state has also seen a huge inflow of lower-skilled refugees.
More than 11,000 refugees, mostly from Somalia, moved to Columbus between 2002 and 2014. More
than 4,500 refugees were settled in Cleveland from 2002 to 2012
In
addition, the government allows Ohio companies to hire blue-collar guest
workers from outside the country. The
blue-collar version of the H-1B program is called the H-2B program, and it is
used to recruit people for landscaping, forest, restaurant and hotel work. In
2015, for example the federal government provided visas to 25 companies and
labor brokers to bring in hundreds of foreign workers instead of hiring local
Americans.
The flood of skilled and unskilled immigrants has been great for
Ohio employers, including universities and major companies like McDonalds.
They’re now able to outsource more work, or hired more lower wage foreign
workers in place of Americans, who seek decent wages to cover the cost of
American education, housing, families and a normal American lifestyle.
The inflow has been good for the state and for the Chamber of
Commerce, as more taxpayers and companies pay taxes to the state and dues to
the Chamber. The extra people have increased the size of the state’s economy
and government revenue, which grew from $25 billion in 2010 at the
depth of the recession, up to $28.5 billion in 2015.
But the extra labor has
shifted wages and opportunities away from Ohioans, including both the
white-collar salary earners at McDonalds and the blue-collar wage earners in
low skill jobs.
In Ohio, for example, the Brookings
Institute calculated that wages for African-Americans in six
out of seven largest counties have crashed by 11 percent from 2009 to 2014,
while wages for white people grew by an average of 3.5 percent.
In Columbus, for example, wages for African-Americans crashed by
19 percent from 2009 to 2014 according to Brookings. Meanwhile, data from the
Census Department shows that that city’s population of adults born overseas
rose from 57,000 in 2000 to 102,000 in 2004, boosting them from 7.1 percent of
the adult population to 11.3 percent.
The same pattern is repeated in Akron, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dayton and Youngstown, where Brookings’ data shows drops
in African-Americans wages averages a 17 percent drop amid an average income
rise of 4.5 percent for the white population. That income shift while
the state’s foreign-born adult population grew by roughy 16 percent
between 2000 and 2014, according to a recent study by the Center for Immigration Studies.
Brookings also showed that wages for Africans-Americans in
Toledo rose by 16 percent during the 2009 to 2014 period. From 2000 to 2014,
the immigrant population in Toledo rose very slowly, from 4.0 percent of the
adult population to 4.4 percent of the population.
This shift of work and money from Ohioans who compete against
immigrants towards the immigrants and towards Americans who employ foreign
workers, is just a small reflection of a huge national economic redistribution.
That redistribution, dubbed the “Diversity Tax,” is a $400
billion transfer that native-born Americans pay to immigrants and to employers,
each and every year.
According to Harvard professor George Borjas,
The presence of all immigrant
workers (legal
and illegal) in the
labor market makes the U.S. economy (GDP) an estimated 11 percent larger ($1.6
trillion) each year. This “contribution” to the aggregate economy, however,
does not measure the net benefit to the native-born population.
Of the $1.6 trillion
increase in GDP, 97.8 percent goes to the immigrants themselves in the form of
wages and benefits; the remainder constitutes the “immigration surplus” — the
benefit accruing to the native-born population, including both workers, owners
of firms, and other users of the services provided by immigrants.
The standard textbook
model of a competitive labor market yields an estimate of the immigration
surplus equal to $35 billion a year — or about [an increase of] 0.2 percent of
the total GDP in the United States — from both legal
and illegalimmigration.
[But the immigration
redistribution is] reducing the wages of natives in competition with immigrants
by an estimated $402 billion a year, while increasing profits or the incomes of
users of immigrants by an estimated $437 billion.
Americans
want to like immigrants, and they want to like immigration in general, but
they’re growing more worried that it is an economic threat to them and their children. Among
companies, and now increasingly among voters, immigration “is
all about the bottom line,” said Newsome.
