Why Trump Has Been Right and Silicon Valley Wrong on H-1B Visas

Silicon Valley executives and most mainstream Republicans criticize Donald Trump’s position on the current H-1B program. Yet both political parties over the last 16 years have left the Americans with a deeply flawed program, riddled with a multitude of loopholes and favoring larger multinational and outsourcing IT firms.

H-1Bs aren't for just any prospective employee; they are reserved for specialized talent filling a specialized position. The positions must also, according to the USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services), not be replacing jobs of U.S. citizens.

However, if the annual salary being offered is greater than $60,000, all USCIS requirements are waived including that of replacing U.S. citizens. Where can you find a specialized PHD or Masters level skill in IT offering an annual salary of less than $60,000? Nowhere on either coast of the U.S. at any technology enclave.

Of the 85,000 annual H-1B visas issued among 10,000 applicant companies in 2014, roughly 32,000 of the H-1B visas end up being issued to 20 large companies. Within the 32,000 H-1B visas issued,16,000 were provided to several of the largest Indian U.S. outsourcing firms -- Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Infosys and TCS. The rest of the...

NEW YORK CITY, New York — Trumpocrats executive director Christian Rickers told Breitbart News that Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Democratic nominee for president, is “simply unhinged” as evidenced by her speech in Reno, Nevada, on Thursday.

“Hillary is simply unhinged and appealing to the lowest common denominator,” Rickers, a lifelong Democrat who backed Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primaries but is now leading a movement crossing over to the Republican Party to back GOP nominee Donald Trump, told Breitbart News in response to Clinton’s “alt-right” speech. “Her performance today was more evidence of how desperate she has become.”

Rickers’ organization, the “Trumpocrats,” represents the tens of thousands of Democrats who are leaving the Democratic Party because they believe Hillary Clinton does not represent their values—and are instead voting for Trump in...

Hillary Clinton had a tremendous day of slinging bullshit on Thursday. Not only did she completely lieabout Donald Trump’s racism, she released a video falsely connecting the GOP nominee to the KKK. Much of her slanderous theory is based on white supremacists supporting Trump, but the reality is Hillary has genuine ties to the KKK and she has disavowed none of them.

The main thrust of Hillary’s accusations against Trump is that he didn’t disavow an endorsement from former KKK Grand Dragon David Duke. The reality is, Trump did disavow the Duke endorsement and he has absolutely no connection to the KKK or any white supremacist organization.

On the other hand, Hillary is quite cozy with the white power faction. She has referred to former democratic Senator Robert Byrd as her “friend and mentor.” This get interesting when you know that Byrd was a major player in the KKK.

Robert Byrd served in the US House of Representatives from...

BREAKING: BENGHAZI DOCUMENTS Found In Deleted Clinton Email Files: STATE DEPT

[8/26/16] The State Department revealed Benghazi related material was found in searches of the approximately 14,900 deleted Hillary Clinton emails recovered by the FBI that were sent to State as potentially work-related.

In March 2015 Hillary Clinton said she chose to delete only her personal emails:

“E-mails about planning Chelsea’s wedding or my mother’s funeral arrangements, condolence notes to friends, as well as yoga routines, family vacations, the other things you typically find in inboxes. No one wants their personal e-mails made public, and I think most people understand that and respect that privacy.”

But that was not true.

The news that Benghazi docs are in the deleted Clinton emails was contained in an August 23 court filing in a Freedom of Information Act case about the...

"I thought you should know"

Make Sure You See This Video.

South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy appeared on Fox News today and disclosed new details about the Clinton email scandal that seem to indicate intent to destroy evidence. Per the clip below, Gowdy reveals that Clinton used "BleachBit" to erase the "personal" emails from her private server.

For those not familiar with the software, BleachBit is intended to help users delete files in a way to "prevent recovery" and "hide traces of files deleted." Per the BleachBit website:
Beyond simply deleting files, BleachBit includes advanced features such as shredding files to prevent recovery, wiping free disk space to hide traces of files deleted by other applications, and vacuuming Firefox to make it faster.

During his appearance on Fox, Gowdy clearly indicates that Clinton's use of BleachBit undermines her claims that she only deleted innocuous "personal" emails from her private server.

“If she considered them to be personal, then she and her lawyers had those emails deleted. They didn’t just push the delete button, they had them deleted where even God can't read them.
"They were using something called BleachBit. You don't use BleachBit for yoga emails."
"When you're using BleachBit, it is something you really do not want the...
