Victims of visa abuse
Posted by E Van Staaveren on Wed, 06/28/2017
We hear a lot of tear-jerking stories about illegal aliens “living in the shadows.” But there’s a huge group of U.S. citizens “living in the shadows” too.
They’re afraid to tell their stories of abuse and mistreatment by greedy employers who traffic in visa corruption by firing citizens and bringing in cheap, semi-slave labor to replace the citizens.
Thanks for Breitbart.com for its several exposés of this cancer in the U.S. economy. In the current report, listen to some of the stories of greed, politics, and exploitation.

Dawn, making a point to only give her first name, was laid-off and replaced by a foreign worker who she was forced to train.
Though other laid-off workers are excited to speak about their experience with outsourcing, even if anonymously, Dawn was more turned off by the fact that Congress has still not passed a single measure to protect Americans from what she went through.
“We watched about 1,400 people train their foreign replacements in New York City and not a word of this was on the news,” Dawn said. “This is treason to the American people. They should have put an end to this a long time ago.”
