it's just like... every single day someone has to explain "it is going to be harder to immigrate to Australia than you seem convinced it is" and every single time it comes as such a fucking shock to these people.

Gonna be totes honest if I just see a post attributing recent societal changes to a vague concept of "puritanism", especially if they connect that concept to teenagers and TikTok while utterly failing to acknowledge, say, the rise of the religious right and backlash against queer people becoming more visible in many places in the world, I'm just gonna think that they're an idiot without any substantive worldview outside of like.

"America has spent 40 years screwing over its scientists and engineers using the H1B and DEI scams, with the result that young Americans reasoned - correctly - that they're better off entering the scam economy themselves ('finance') than spending several grueling years training in STEM.

Since you know a few things about the scam economy yourself, I'd expect you to understand that." John Carter, Twitter

"Importing H-1Bs is clearly not the answer. Or perhaps it is actually the issue?

For years, we have been told that we need "high-skilled" foreign workers because Americans somehow lack the necessary qualifications. But when we examine the actual hiring data, a different story emerges. Employers lowered their job standards to justify bringing in foreign workers, requiring less education, less experience, and fewer skills than what they demanded from American applicants. In 81.61% of cases, employers had to relax their hiring criteria to make foreign workers fit the role.

But wait, it gets better. 49.25% of these foreign workers were educated at the same American universities as the Americans you claim are "unqualified." So if education is the issue, why are companies hiring these workers over U.S. citizens who received the same degrees from the same institutions?

Now let’s talk about wages. If these are truly high-skilled workers, then why does wage data tell a different story? Employers classified them as "high-skilled" to justify their hiring, yet 68.12% of the time, they were paid entry-level, low prevailing wages, far below the median salary. Does that sound like "high-skill," or does it sound like cheap labor?

This is not speculation; this is their own data. The Department of Labor provides extensive information on foreign workers’ education, occupations, and wages if you know where to look for it. Yet nowhere in that data is there any proof that these workers possess some extraordinary level of skill that Americans lack. What we do see is a system designed to exploit low-wage labor under the illusion of "innovation."

What some call "hardworking," looks a lot like indentured servitude....a workforce that cannot negotiate wages, cannot change jobs freely, and is wholly dependent on their employer to remain in the country. And who benefits? Not American workers, not the economy, but the corporations that profit from driving down wages and displacing their own citizens.

Vivek, you are absolutely wrong. Either you are incompetent, or you are a corrupt politician who openly prioritizes foreign interests over the American people. The employer sponsored foreign worker data proves it. No more lies. No more excuses. America should be prioritizing Americans first, not outsourcing our future to the lowest bidder."

To really understand the legacy of racism and exploitation in the U.S. Agricultural industry, we need to go back to the Fair Labor Standards Act, which became law nearly a century ago, when Franklin D. Roosevelt was president.

This law fundamentally changed working conditions in the U.S., it gave us a minimum wage, a 40-hour work week, overtime pay –you know, the good stuff.

But these benefits didn’t apply to farmworkers, who at the time in the South were overwhelmingly Black.

In fact, you can draw a straight line from slavery, to the Fair Labor Standards Act, to the conditions we continue to see in agriculture today. Nearly a century later, farmworkers across the U.S., mostly Latino immigrants now, are still denied even the most basic federal protections, such as water breaks or access to shade in extreme heat. For many families, the effects of these racist exclusions are real, they’re tangible.

At the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles last year, President Joe Biden outlined his plan to reduce the number of migrants seeking asylum at the Southern border. His administration, Biden said, would help “American farmers bring in seasonal agricultural workers from Northern Central American countries under the H-2A visa program.”

What does that mean for a program that’s already plagued with wage theft and abuse?

Since Biden took office in January of 2021, he’s turned “safe and orderly migration” into a kind of mantra. He says it all the time. And just in February of that year, 2021, the White House assembled working groups to discuss the H-2A program. The idea is to divert asylum seekers from the Southern border and into this program. Here’s Biden talking about the plan last summer:

President Biden: “And on this jobs front, our Department of Agriculture is launching a pilot program to help American farmers bring in seasonal agricultural workers from Northern Central America countries under the H-2A visa program. To improve conditions for all workers.”

Here’s the main issue with that. The Biden Administration wants to offer this temporary worker program to migrants who are seeking asylum at our Southern border. A program that is riddled with abuse and trafficking is being offered to people who are fleeing violence and trafficking. 


“They’re only gonna be able to stay in the United States for 6, 7, 8 months outta the year. What happens during those other months of the year? Uh, they have to go back to their home country and they’re gonna be going back to a country that they fled.


Maybe because they were being persecuted, somebody in their family was murdered, you know, you’re gonna send them back to that situation and you’re gonna send them back to that situation with dollars in their pockets, which I think is just gonna make them targets for extortion.”

Title: Understanding the Timeline: Receiving an Invitation from Express Entry after Applying for a Provincial Nomination

Introduction: The Express Entry system has become a popular pathway for skilled workers to obtain permanent residence in Canada. If you are considering applying for a provincial nomination through Express Entry, it's essential to understand the timeline involved in receiving an invitation. In this blog, we will explore the factors that affect the processing time and provide you with insights to manage your expectations.

Factors Affecting the Processing Time:

Province or Territory: The processing time for provincial nominations can vary depending on the province or territory. Each region has its own administrative procedures and resources, which can influence the speed at which they process nominations. For example, British Columbia is known for its relatively shorter processing times compared to other provinces like Ontario.

Demand for Skilled Workers: The demand for skilled workers in a particular province or territory also impacts the processing time. If a region is experiencing a high demand for skilled professionals in specific occupations, the processing of nominations in that area may be expedited. Conversely, if the demand is lower, it may take longer to receive an invitation.

Express Entry Profile Score: Your Express Entry profile score plays a significant role in determining the likelihood and speed of receiving an invitation. A higher profile score indicates a stronger match with the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) requirements, increasing your chances of receiving an invitation sooner. It's crucial to continuously improve your profile score by enhancing factors such as language proficiency, education, work experience, and additional qualifications.

Managing Your Expectations: While we provide general information on processing times, it's important to note that individual cases can vary. The actual processing time depends on a variety of circumstances unique to your situation. However, here are some practical steps to help you manage your expectations:

Stay Informed: Regularly check the official websites of the province or territory that nominated you for any updates on processing times. These platforms usually provide estimated processing times and relevant information to keep you informed.

Be Patient: The processing time for nominations can range from a few weeks to several months. Patience is key during this period. Avoid unnecessary stress by acknowledging that the process takes time, and factors beyond your control can affect the timeline.

Monitor Express Entry System: Keep a close eye on the Express Entry system to check for any updates regarding your invitation. The system will notify you if you have been invited to apply for permanent residence. Stay proactive and ensure you have provided accurate and up-to-date information in your Express Entry profile.

Conclusion: Receiving an invitation from Express Entry after applying for a provincial nomination requires understanding the factors that influence the processing time. Factors such as the province or territory, demand for skilled workers, and your Express Entry profile score all play a role. By staying informed, managing expectations, and remaining patient, you can navigate through the process more effectively.

Remember, each case is unique, and there are no guarantees regarding specific timelines. If you have concerns or require further clarification, consider consulting with immigration professionals who can provide personalised advice based on your circumstances. Good luck with your Express Entry journey towards Canadian permanent residence! Read More
