American tech companies often claim that they need to hire foreign workers because there aren’t enough qualified Americans to fill their job openings. Someone who strongly disagrees is Amanda Bartolotta, a senior investigative journalist at WorldNetDaily.
She maintains “The evidence is overwhelming that companies like Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Google and others, despite consistently lobbying for more foreign-worker visas on the basis of a so-called ‘talent shortage, are fully capable of finding qualified Americans when they are actually required to recruit them.”
Under the law, U.S. employers wanting to hire foreigners first have to advertise for U.S. workers. If they don’t receive all the applications they want, they then have authorization to employ foreigners.
But in practice,” Bartolotta notes, “employers can exploit the outdated list of approved recruitment methods by avoiding major online platforms and even their own company career sites. Instead, they often use limited-access alternatives such as obscure job boards, local or ethnic newspapers, or short-duration radio ads that technically satisfy the rules on paper, but drastically reduce the chances that qualified U.S. workers will ever see or apply for the position.”
