Subject: restrict guest worker visas amid coronavirus pandemic
Dear Senator/Congressman/Congresswoman,
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, about a fifth of the country’s total workforce – or 33 million Americans - have filed for unemployment benefits in the last seven weeks as the pandemic cripples the American economy. While thousands of Americans are struggling to get a job to feed their families, the United States admits more than one million nonimmigrant guest workers every year, and there is no reason to admit most such workers when our unemployment is so high.
On May 7 2020, Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) along with Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), and Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) sent a letter (see https://www.cotton.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=1358) to President Donald Trump urging him to extend and expand his April 22, 2020 Proclamation on immigration. They ask the President to suspend all new guest worker visas for sixty days, and to suspend certain categories of new guest worker visas for at least the next year, or until unemployment has returned to normal levels.
I urge you to support Senators Cotton, Cruz, Grassley and Hawley for their effort to protect American workers.

我在这里起草了一份给你所在选区的国会议员的信, 请上网查一下你议员的网站, 然后给他写信:

Yours Sincerely,没有了H1B, 有可能将来高科技业根本就不在美国了。高薪工作会大量减少的。 我们的子孙弄不好得去学外语考G考T了。
100年前理化方面的诺奖得主以德法科学家为主。
从短期看, USC 里面的戏剧电影专业里面加州来的毕业生一下子就容易找到好莱坞的工作了。 可是没几年就会发现好莱坞的电影没人看了。 好莱坞大家都失业了。
自己当初怎么来的?
自己的基因不行当初干嘛来美国留下?
+100000
坚决支持!
知道一些小中们的offer被取消了,深表同情。
从大数说:过去二十年美国 GDP 翻了多少倍?
但中产的实际收入基本原地不动。过去二十年,就是美国 globalization 的二十年。
从相对讲,中产是伴随美国国家的富裕,越来越穷。
当然主要依靠资本赚钱的阶层和预计要靠资本赚钱的,要全力反对这个提案。Clear?
就有一部分人会怪罪在移民身上,责备他们抢走了工作,甚至出现暴力事件。说老实话,你走在街上,在那些非华裔(其实也包括华裔)的眼里就是外来人,无论B1,B2, L1,H1 还是 绿卡 , 公民 都没什么两样,甚至ABC们也一样。别看华人社区里(包括文学城)总是自夸ABC和小留气质不同,区别很大一眼看出来 blahblahblah。。。在别的种族眼里亚洲人长得都一样,以前racist把中国人错当成日本人的事件不是没有。
再请问,这次失业率20%,原因是什么?
话说我们公司刚给一位亚洲人办了绿卡,很快就下来了。这个人纠结很长时间才决定来,开始根本不想来。公司急需,不断提供优惠条件。美国找不到合适人,这么多失业的没人能干这活呀。这是美国公司做的,是为了自己公司的利益。
要呼吁,就先阻止印度人滥用H1B。
不是傻,就是更傻。
还有一些中国人,希望西方制裁中国,希望中国完蛋, 不知他们有没有想过,所有关于中国国内的信誉声望都同时联系着每一个中国面孔, 不管你住在哪儿,也不管你什么身份。
与新的环境的区别越大的人,越想脱胎换骨,越憎恨自己的出身。可惜,把自己用漂白剂漂白了都没用,根深蒂固的思维方式永远改变不了了。
如果他们认为中国好了,他们没得到任何好处,
但是, 我想提醒他们:
如果中国不好了, 他们绝对会得到坏处。
除掉了GD,然后呢?
你喜欢的是什么样子的党派政府? 说说看
问题是现在就是大部分选择工产党啊!
你会不会说, 现在的人都是被洗脑了?
然后就认可没有选择的选择了,这个都不能光叫洗脑了,叫身心一体洗。
把这种没有选择的选择认可为自由选择,也是逻辑混乱。
比如, 砒霜有毒, 大家选择不吃它, 吃别的。
不会非要亲自尝过选择过, 才是自由和有知识吧?
一种人认为说中国好的是被洗脑了,
另一种, 天天说中国不好的, 也是被洗脑了。
难道不是一样道理吗?
就是要改。
难道你认为现在的中国好到没有任何需要改的地方,有提意见有需要改就是鼓动人们吃砒霜?
