Obama Bribes Employers to Hire Foreigners Instead of Americans
(Washington Examiner) – The Department of
Homeland Security is readying a plan to expand a program that pays U.S.
employers to hire foreign STEM students taught in America, a move that could
end up punishing American college grads and even the elderly, according to an
immigration think tank.
In pushing to allow
more foreign students into the so-called “optional practical training program,”
DHS said that it will help businesses and colleges by keeping those foreign
students in the U.S. following their American-taught science, technology,
engineering, and math, or STEM, curriculum.
But the Center
for Immigration Studies said it will punish American STEM students
competing for those same jobs. And, they added, in adjusting how the foreign
students are categorized as employees, they get out of paying payroll taxes
used to help fund programs like Social Security and Medicare.
Currently, the program urges companies to hire STEM students for a year. CIS said firms are paid up to $10,000 to participate. The new proposal, said CIS, is to add on another year and $2,000 in bonuses.
