Protect the Non-manufacturing American Worker: Jobs Outsourced Outside the USA or Taken Onshore by H1B Visa Workers

I propose that the following two policy proposals, about protecting the jobs of the American worker where companies replace American workers with cheap labor outsourced outside USA or onshore H1B Visa workers. It is too easy for companies to move jobs outside the USA. And there is no accountability for preventing companies from abusing the H1B Visa program.

Bring back white collar jobs outsourced overseas or replaced with H1B Visa workers

NOTE: Going forward the initial policy draft presented will be further defined using a collaborative approach with @GoUSA @waynetom @Momzilla. If anyone is interested in working with us, please let me know. PLEASE consider giving the policy your vote. We are enhancing the policy to quantify how prevalent this issue truly is and providing recommendations for holding companies accountable. Those not close to the H1B Visa hiring practices would be shocked how many Americans get shut out from bei…

Tariffs on intellectual labor outsourcing

There is already a great plan to change our tax structure to encourage companies to manufacture in America, this ensuring American manufacturing jobs. Consider applying a similar concept to intellectual labor. Right now, many US tech and customer service companies outsource staff abroad. We have countless Americans who are already proficient in those roles. For example, say you are a customer of a US based company. You call the company for assistance and you are dispatched to someone in another …

Explanation & Justification

Communication has taken place between @GoUSA and @Momzilla to work together on a policy that includes protecting the American worker in non-manufacturing jobs.
The policy Bring back white collar jobs outsourced overseas or replaced with H1B Visa workers will be the parent policy, but the content of Tariffs on intellectual labor outsourcing should be appended to bottom of the parent policy. We need to have it available for incorporating into the new merged policy.

Support this 100%. We are not just losing manufacturing jobs, there are millions of customer service and processing type jobs being moved oversees. I support a penalty imposed on companies that move these positions out of the US.

Specifically target India on this. Our kids are struggling to compete making it hard to get accepted for limited college opportunities. Anyone that has entered in the past 15 years and hasn’t become a citizen already should be sent back. This will also provide much needed relief to our housing crisis and allow our property prices to drop and make it less necessary to keep building (maybe this is specific to Texas). Needless to say, more job opportunities for native citizens of this country who have lived here their whole life but have been left struggling to get a job because so many foreigners have been allowed to study and work here

This is excellent. Too many professions like computer science where new graduates are struggling to find jobs. There should be no H1B visas for high demand jobs like this.
