In a procedural maneuver, the Trump Administration is slightly preventing corporations from importing cheaper, foreign workers for high-skilled jobs.

After President Trump halted an Obama-era program for foreign nationals wanting to start business in the United States, big business and the open borders lobby are outraged.

Since President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the farm lobby has demanded access to cheaper, foreign workers through the H-2A visa program.

American worker advocates who want to see the H-1B visa program reformed have mixed feelings about President Trump’s meeting with tech CEOs this week.

A pro-American employee organization is asking Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary John Kelly to not expand a visa program that outsources blue-collar jobs.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary John Kelly has promised the big business lobby tens of thousands of cheaper, blue-collar foreign workers despite President Donald Trump’s ‘Hire American’ initiative.

The foreign outsourcing industry is increasing its H-1B visa lobbying efforts to ensure the flow of foreign labor continues as the Trump Administration conducts a full legal review of the program.

The largest agriculture pro-outsourcing organization says President Donald Trump has “assured” them that the current flow of foreign workers in the farming industry will continue unreformed.

A trades union representing American blue-collar construction workers says a plan to expand the H-2B low-skilled foreign guest worker visa is “directly counter” to President Donald Trump’s “Buy American, Hire American” agenda.

The Washington Post is drumming up hysteria over an American labor shortage if the H-2B foreign guest worker visa is limited by the Trump Administration, despite no evidence indicating a crunch.

The big business and open borders lobbies are praising an expansion of the H-2B foreign guest worker visa included in the 2017 budget.

As Congress is pushed by the big business lobby and open borders organizations to expand the number of low-skilled, non-farm workers entering the U.S. every year, the national unemployment rate coupled with stagnant wages indicate the harm done by the H-2B visa to American workers, according to experts.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s 20-year tenure in public service is rife with contradictions, as an examination of her current positions juxtaposed with her past behavior reveals.

A lobbyist for a farming organization that favors outsourcing American jobs to foreign workers will become a Senior Adviser in President Donald Trump’s Agriculture Department.

While President Donald Trump amasses praise from labor unions and pro-American work advocates for his cracking down on abuse within the H-1B visa program, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is distressed by the executive order.

The big business lobby, which profits from hiring foreign labor over American workers, is pushing for an expansion of the H-2B foreign guest worker visa. Americans would be laid off from those seasonal jobs in the process.

“We took the best ideas to reform healthcare and put them together in one bill,” said Rep. Peter A. Sessions (R.-Texas), who in addition to chairing a committee referred to as “the Speaker’s Committee” because of its role in giving the speaker control over the lower chamber, also serves on the House Republican Steering Committee.

It can be taken as a sign of both ideological exhaustion and propaganda success that liberals still paint Republicans as the party of the Evil Rich, when it’s patently obvious there are plenty of big-money interests backing the Democrat Party.

One of the myths that always needs bursting is that Big Business hates big government’ regulations, and supposedly prefers small-government Republicans to keep Uncle Sam off its back.

Big Government loves ObamaCare because it subjugates the middle class, making them dependent on handouts to purchase the “affordable” insurance they are forced to buy. It’s not often that you see millions of people in a supposedly free country grabbed by the seat of their pants and thrown head-first into welfare dependency.

As America continues the debate over laws securing religious freedom, several of the nation’s CEO’s are taking sides. Apple’s Tim Cook, for instance, excoriated Indiana over its law. But former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina is disgusted at how business leaders like Cook are acting.

The Texas Senate has passed a package of bills that include substantial reforms to the state’s franchise tax, a tax on a business’ gross margins. Conservatives are cheering the news, and turning a hopeful eye toward the House, where the fate of these reforms now rests.

AUSTIN, Texas — State Senator Dr. Charles Schwertner (R-Georgetown) sent an open letter on Tuesday to a group of business associations, challenging their opposition to SB 8, the Small Business Tax Relief Act. The bill was filed by Schwertner filed in February. The letter acknowledges the contribution that big businesses make to the Texas economy, but accuses them of neglecting the state’s small businesses in favor of protecting the interests of powerful big businesses.

Republican 2016 hopeful Gov. Scott Walker (WI) is headlining a Leadership Series event for the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry on March 25 at the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown.

No matter what the expressed intentions of regulators might be, the practical effect of the hyper-State is to keep new upstarts out of established markets, squash small competitors, and fuel the drive toward consolidation. That’s why big business doesn’t favor small government.

The NOLA.com/Times-Picayune editorial board is quoting a big business and industry group in Louisiana to rail against Gov. Bobby Jindal’s (R) recent executive order to protect parents and school districts from consequences of opting out of the Common Core-aligned PARCC tests.
