For too long, too many American medical school graduates have been sidelined in their careers. Students first enter a highly competitive process to be accepted into medical school. Then they commit years to studying to become doctors. Most students also take out significant student loan debt – $250,000 on average – for their education. After ...

Recently, the U.S. Department of Labor announced an 18-month delay in the effective date of the final rule, “Strengthening Wage Protections for the Temporary and Permanent Employment of Certain Aliens in the United States,” mostly foreign nationals working on employment-based visas. The final rule, originally published in January 2021, will now become effective on November 14, ...

Two small groups working on behalf of U.S. doctors recently were attacked by the Kaiser Family Foundation. KFF describes itself as a nonprofit organization that “focuses on major health issues facing the nation.” The organizations KFF attacked are advocates for physicians who do not have medical residencies at teaching hospitals, which means these doctors can’t be ...

Effective April 1, tech workers – most notably H-1Bs, F-1 visa holders that may be enrolled in Optional Practical Training work-study programs and seasonal hospitality workers – will once again be able to enter the U.S. to compete with, or displace, American workers.

Every year, thousands of medical school graduates conclude their academic careers with virtually useless MD degrees. In the process, they have incurred huge debt, often reaching into moderate six-figure totals.

The motivation is to rush to the border and be physically present in the U.S. while the Biden administration plays musical chairs with immigration policy.

As is too frequently the case, immigration, and specifically President Biden’s U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, is the focal point of the ongoing lopsided battle of the elite versus the working classes.

President Biden is following in the footsteps of Presidents Bush, Obama and Trump by putting immigration front and center.

Because of systemic failure among these organizations and institutions – and perhaps complacency in continuing business as usual – 6,570 doctors did not match to a residency last year.

PRESS RELEASE Continuing High Unemployment Should Keep us Focused on Jobs for Americans, Including our Doctors 29 January 2021 (WASHINGTON, DC) – Today, Doctors without Jobs, a group which works to encourage the adoption of policies that prioritize U.S. doctors for medical residencies, announced the release of a broadcast spot asking why the Association of American Medical ...

Give President Joe Biden grudging credit. Few if any presidential candidates have delivered on their campaign promises with such machine gun fire-like speed as President Biden. If only the newly elected president had paused to ask himself who his kept promises are helping, he’d be better off in the long run. Someone among his confidants should ...

Minister and activist Martin Luther King, Jr., became synonymous with the Civil Rights movement from the mid-1950s through 1968 when he was assassinated. Memorializing King’s birthday each year in January allows us to reflect on this great man’s wisdom, words and vision. Last Thursday a shipment of back issues of Lapham’s Quarterly arrived, and in it ...

According to Capitol Hill insiders, President-elect Biden’s first matter of business will be to pass immigration amnesty legislation. Biden promised to, as he described his intentions, “introduce” an immigration bill within his administration’s first 100 days. And without wasting a moment, the president-elect’s advisors met last week with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus chair Rep. Raul ...

From the instant that President Joe Biden takes office, he’ll be under heavy pressure from his base to undo President Trump’s immigration-related Executive Orders. But in most cases, reversing what President Trump has done will be easier said than done. Among the greatest challenges to Biden’s administration will be its response to President Trump’s December 31 ...

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a conservative Republican, gave his 2016 presidential campaign a good go. Cruz announced his candidacy in March 2015, ran as an outsider, and outlasted prominent GOP rivals, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul. In the end, Cruz fell short, but based on his ...

On the rare occasions that Joe Biden emerged from his basement into the daylight in the run-up to the election, he touted his Scranton roots. Biden’s tone was along the lines of, “Hey, it’s me, plain old Blue-Collar Joe, a guy from working-class Scranton who will make American workers’ concerns my administration’s priority.” Biden chided ...

Relief for U.S. tech workers who have been unfairly displaced by craven employers came late in President Trump’s first, and possibly only, term. But the well-worn axiom applies: better late than never. New Department of Labor and Department of Homeland Security regulations will tighten loopholes that have allowed marginally qualified foreign nationals to come to the ...

When Joe Biden chose California Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate, he went against tradition. Typically, a presidential nominee selects an individual who will help him win a swing state. In 2020, that might have been Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar. Minnesota went for Hillary Clinton in 2016, but only by a narrow margin, 46.9 ...

Once again, the Deep State has set out to undermine President Trump. And in the process, career bureaucrats and entrenched Capitol Hill never-Trumpers are attempting to put the skids to U.S. tech workers. The issue, as per usual, is well-paying, white-collar jobs that Department of Homeland Security and Department of State want to give away ...

Three years ago, President Trump issued his “Buy American, Hire American” Executive Order. But as the November election draws closer, many critics insist that President Trump has come up short on his promise to “hire American.” The president’s myriad critics cynically joke that COVID-19 has been more effective at slowing the foreign-born worker influx, especially ...

Vice Presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ Democratic National Convention acceptance speech failed to provide answers to voters seeking insight into how new leadership might help them get a better job or earn a higher wage. Polling taken just a week before Harris addressed the DNC found that the economy remains the most vital issue to nearly eight ...

July unemployment came in at 10.2 percent last month, still above the 10 percent high in the 2007-2009 recession. Now more than ever, post-pandemic and social unrest, every effort should be made to create and keep jobs for Americans across all professions to ensure that our country rights itself. That includes ...

When President Trump signed his Executive Order that banned federal contractors from hiring foreign-born H-1B visa holders, an historic moment occurred in the three-decade long effort to protect American workers’ jobs. The president’s order will require all federal agencies to complete an internal audit to assess whether they’re in compliance with the requirement that such ...

From Congress’ 435 U.S. representatives and 100 senators, only about 10 percent can be classified as solidly pro-American worker. Their immigration voting records prove their inexplicable indifference to American workers’ fates. Whether the immigration category is lawful permanent residents who arrive at the rate of more than 1 million annually, refugees, asylees and employment-based visa ...

The highest paid federal worker in America made about $8 million last year. Despite being the highest paid federal worker, this CEO is firing Tennessee Valley Authority workers and outsourcing federal jobs to overseas companies, even though the TVA was created to spur economic development in the Valley, not in other countries. And Tennessee ...

Never has Big Tech pushed harder for cheap labor for the rich and powerful than it’s done in the last few weeks. The latest available data show that, from 2005 to 2018, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google and Microsoft laid out an aggregate $582 million to protect their collective interests on a range of topics that ...

Missing from President Trump’s 2017 “Buy American and Hire American” Executive Order was an addendum that should have read: “Don’t Fire Americans!” COVID-19 has left many employers with no choice but to furlough – the politically correct word for “fire” – millions of U.S. workers. Business shutdowns, some temporary and others forever, have forced more ...

Editor’s Note: Author Joe Guzzardi’s prediction that “zero” students would be deported was 100 percent accurate. On July 15, two days after Guzzardi’s commentary, the Trump administration canceled its ICE order. __________ The Student and Exchange Visitor Program, a Department of Homeland Security unit that oversees non-immigrant students, recently announced that higher education students taking mostly online ...

President Trump’s June 22 Executive Order (EO) that suspended through year-end 2020 several temporary nonimmigrant visas that include employment authorization is a good beginning. But as the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu would have said way back around 600 B.C., “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” The journey for true immigration ...
