Companies Get Tax Breaks for Hiring Foreign College Grads With ‘OPT’ Program

What kind of fucking sense does it make for our government to do this?

If we were sane, this would be Revolution time right here.

Trump had better fix this shit, PRONTO!

From Breitbart:

The little-known “Optional Practical Training” program has grown from 91,140 new foreign job-seekers in 2009 to 329,158 new job-seekers in 2016, according to data provided by the Department of Homeland Security. That is almost a four-fold increase in seven years — and the program is growing even larger in 2017. 

There is no cap on the OPT program, which quietly and semi-automatically gives work permits lasting up to three years when requested by foreign students who graduate from U.S. universities and colleges. 

Companies are not required to even interview Americans before hiring OPT graduates — and they get tax breaks for hiring foreigners over Americans. 

“The government is enticing employers to hire foreigners instead of Americans … it is ridiculous,” said Mark Krikorian, director of the D.C.-based Center for Immigration Studies. Even the middle-class Americans who have downplayed the impact of cheap-labor immigration on blue-collar Americans should be alarmed by the government’s discrimination against their own college-graduate children, he added.”

By the way, President Trump does seem to be reasonable on issues like this.

But, he needs to put up or shut up.
