The House Democrats’ EAGLE Act would pressure U.S. companies to hire more visa workers from China, so helping China’s government to steal more technology from leading U.S. companies.
“There’s no question that we’ll get a whole lot more foreign workers into U.S. jobs via the EAGLE Act, and that a huge percentage of Chinese nationals report back to the Communist Party of China,” said Rosemary Jenks, government affairs director at NumbersUSA.
The middle-class career outsourcing bill is slated for a vote this afternoon in the House, amid tepid and unorganized opposition by the investor-backed GOP.
The Democrats’ last-minute amendment to shield Chinese workers from China’s Communist Party cannot work, she said, because:
We have seen that the Chinese government has a very long reach, and if someone comes to the United States as a foreign worker from China and still has a family based in China, then the Chinese government has control over them because they will use the family as leverage. So there’s just no question that it is a huge mistake to continue allowing Chinese nationals to work in our high-tech sector, to have access to technological secrets, and the EAGLES Act just doubles down on that.
The EAGLE Act is being pushed by West Coast tech investors and executives who are trying to spike short-term stock prices.
The act would turbocharge the Fortune 500 practice of annually recruiting more than 200,000 foreign college graduates — mostly from India and China —for the white-collar careers that are needed by young American graduates. Indians are mostly hired by technology subcontractors for mid-skill jobs, but the Chinese are often imported for high-end research and banking jobs.
These foreign graduates take U.S. jobs via the uncapped H-1B, L-1, and OPT programs. Each year, roughly 70,000 are given the deferred bonus of green cards by U.S. executives as compensation for a decade of subservient labor. Roughly 1.5 million foreign college graduates now hold indentured-service jobs.

But Section 7 of the EAGLE Act also allows U.S.-based employers to quickly trade the huge prize of lifetime U.S. work permits to foreign workers in exchange for several years of cut-rate blue-collar or white-collar service.
This fast-track, government-granted Section 7 bonus, if made law, would pressure U.S. companies to replace Americans with many more lower-wage foreign workers to keep their wages and profit margins at levels demanded by Wall Street’s stock pickers.
