America First Immigration Weekly Briefing

For decades politicians told Americans that “legal immigration” was better for our economy and needed to fill labor shortages. They told us the real problems were only at the border. But that was a lie.

Behind the curtain, America’s legal immigration system has morphed into a  labor-trafficking industry built on the exploitation of foreign workers and the destruction of American livelihoods.

This system is not an accident. It is an engineered ecosystem. It thrives because foreign governments, multinational corporations, billion-dollar universities, Silicon Valley donors and K Street influence factories all profit from one thing: replacing the American middle class with a compliant, cheaper, foreign workforce. 

H-1B, OPT, STEM OPT, L-1, CPT, and shadow “talent pipelines” have become the corporate loopholes that allow companies to avoid hiring U.S. workers, avoid paying market wages, avoid accountability and avoid the rule of law.

These programs have created a cartel-like economy where universities get kickbacks, corporations get cheap labor, India’s government gets remittances and D.C. lobbyists get paid.

Meanwhile American workers, our children, our veterans, our graduates, our engineers are pushed aside, laid off, blacklisted and told they’re “not good enough” for the jobs built in their own country.

This is the real immigration crisis. Not just the southern border. Not just illegal entry.

But the industrialized importation of a shadow replacement workforce under the banner of “legal immigration.”

At WND, we are exposing this entire machine: the fraud, the political influence, the foreign lobbying, the corruption, the economic sabotage and the policymakers captured by it.

We do this because the American people deserve truth, justice and a government that fights for THEM, not for foreign interests and billionaire donors.
