@ifspp we bring together civic minded people to advocate on behalf of American workers harmed by employment visa programs & demand Congress enact reforms.

FHA loans were designed to expand American homeownership, not extend taxpayer-backed credit to those with no guaranteed right to remain. It’s amazing this was even a policy.

Alex Thomas @housing_alex

Last week, @JBREC clients got access to a new piece from me and @EricFinnigan on how recent policy changes are reshaping the housing market for non-permanent residents (NPRs).

One notable finding: new FHA mortgages to NPRs have dropped to near-zero following a rule change in…

“FHA banned lending to H-1B visa holders and other non-permanent residents in May.”

DHS can simply change policy to end this -- it doesn't need the Supes (or legislation) to do it. But the administration is *choosing* to keep this illegal policy in place.

Great presentation from Kevin Lynn last night! We must put American workers and students first!

The Indian government's policy of migrating Indians into US companies via #H1B is paying off for India's economy.
But it's a huge loss for American professionals and graduates.

It was a fantastic opportunity to deliver a lecture on how American STEM graduates are negatively impacted by legal immigration and visa policy to the @PennStateGOP College Republicans chapter last night. Really appreciated the receptivity and energy in the room.

It shouldn't…

There’s a “crown in the gutter” for whoever destroys the visa lobby.

I devoted years of my life to the study of this question. Anyone who asks why we want our own STEM people to have AMAZING CAREERS in research like the 40s, 50s and 60s is accused of being a whiner. WTF? It’s so regular you can set your clock to it.

Eff that. Someone is throwing…

Ex MIT PostDoc here.

Q: Why do we make academic STEM research careers **TERRIBLE** for our own technical people?

Is there anyone at all who can explain this? 60yrs ago our people had swagger, academic freedom, ideas & 2nd homes on the Vineyard.

We now demand STEM serfs.

Why??

That’s the idea and universities will in a manner of speaking, revert to the mean.

Let’s get a few things straight as this is a teachable moment.

This notion of foreign students paying “full freight” fundamentally misrepresents the actual costs and benefits accrued to…

7heNerd @7heNerd

@USTechWorkers If you cancel OPT for international students, they’ll simply stop coming. These are the students who pay full tuition — universities will feel the impact first.
