to reiterate what i've stated throughout this thread: passing up US workers in favor of hiring foreigners should incur heavy penalties. There is no shortage of American workers. If a foreigner wants to work for an American company, they should get a greencard and work in America.
If a company has a foreign office, of course it makes sense to hire people in that country, but that wasn't stipulated in the comment I replied to. Many companies are NOT based in foreign lands and still hire foreigners remotely, passing up Americans in the process, because those foreigners are dirt cheap by comparison. This should not be allowed.
- TypingOutBugs 2y agoThere’s three ways US companies can do that: 1. Hiring a company for a service 2. Hiring a contractor who invoices through their foreign company 3. Having an office in that country Which one would you make illegal? I don’t even understand what the rule would be to defend or support here, in practice. Companies in the US cannot hire services from foreign countries?
- w4ffl35 2y agoAnything that abuses loopholes in order bypass American workers for cheaper labor. This was a position Trump himself took during the 2016 election and during his first term. I've made it abundantly clear that I am against this practice. H-1B is the current hot button policy that everyone is discussing. I would also like to see all other programs and policies involving the replacement of American workers with cheaper foriegn workers reformed, replaced, or repealed.
