I want to personally apologise to @EoinTennyson - for tearing him a brand new arsehole. Eóin is the deputy leader of the @allianceparty in Northern Ireland, he is a staunch 'progressive' politician. Eóin, I am sorry to say, I can find North Belfast on a map, I have been to Northern Ireland, as well as the South, did you get your talking point there from Sinn Féin lad? Eóin likes to compare apples and oranges, but (as anyone with half a brain between their ears knows) they are different fruits. They look different, they taste different, and they grow in different conditions, different climates. So according to him I have made a 'clear attempt' to embroil myself in racism, thuggery, violence etc etc etc? Listen carefully you baby faced muppet, you may learn something here, something quite 'revolutionary'. You are making a FALSE EQUIVALENCE between the horrendous murder of Natalie McNally and the attempted murder of Stephen Ogilvie. What is the difference you say? Well the difference is that Stephen Ogilvie's attacker should NEVER have been in the UK. He is another unvetted illegal migrant given leave to stay to only carry out an atrocious attack leaving an Irishman with severe life changing injuries. Despite Natalies murder been so horrific (it was, she was murdered by her boyfried while she was 15 weeks pregnant), this is not the same thing, not even remotely the same. Natalies boyfriend Stephen McCullagh is a native, the scumbag who attempted to saw off the head of Stephen Ogilvie came from Sudan and passed through multiple safe countries only to be 'settled' in the UK. Every country and community has wronguns, rapists, murderers, child abusers, thieves etc etc. Whilst we can't do much about the native wronguns, apart from call them out and seek justice, we can stop importing people from countries and cultures that are dangerous, hostile, backward, and savage. We can oppose government policies that dump third world savages into our communities endangering everyone. What happened to Stephen Ogilvie could have been prevented by closing the borders, detaining and then deporting illegals - thus preventing hostile murdering invaders from carrying out atrocious acts like we seen in Belfast. Closing the borders, detaining and then deporting illegals, preventing hostile and savage third worlders would have made no difference to Natalies situation unfortunately. We don't need to add to the amount of murdering, raping, child molesting wrongness in our country when we have enough of our own scumbags to deal with. Baby faced ideologically captured progressive pricks like you Eóin refuse to see anything from that viewpoint which is the problem here. You need to take some ownership, because its tone deaf ideologically captured politicians like you Eóin that lay the groundwork for riots and violence on our streets. You lot cased this mess, not me. Own it, then apologise. Have a great day.

If you ever feel stupid, remember that 6000 people in Sydney's outer west looked at all the candidates in the 2025 election and decided to vote for this one

Traffic lights are only viable in high trust societies. You are trusting your life someone will A. See their red light and B. Obey the function it’s provided for. You’re going 45mph. Think about that premise in your day to day life. How often you don’t die purely from trust.

Equality before the law has become a 'far-right' principle. I absolutely despair of this crooked, woke tyranny.

Odd then that supporters of the ''European Idea'' are most active in demanding censorship of speech and suppression of elections & referendums that produce results they dislike. Critics of Eurocracy like Viktor Orban resign when defeated & are denounced as dictators if they win.
No far-right party in Europe can limit itself to channeling hate onto immigrants alone. Once the repressive machinery is built and they’re finished with them, historical border disputes will resurface and they’ll turn against their European neighbors. The European idea remains the only real antidote to petty nationalisms across the continent.

My baby is in a grave, she will NEVER come home Senator. The reckless policies you championed and defend helped create an environment that enabled a person who never should have been in our country to kill her. And this despite an awful background and serious infectious health issues Illinois failed to identify or help treat. Is that your definition of compassion, Senator? Any consideration for Katie Abraham and other innocent law abiding citizens like her, or is your compassion only selective and political? Your “compassion” is as selective and inauthentic as @GovPritzker And exactly how is this bettering our nation Senator?
Democrat Senator Cory Booker calls ICE detention centers "internment camps." Democrats don't care about American citizens - if they did, they wouldn't be slandering law enforcement to protect criminals.

H-1B Visa Surge Displaces American Tech Workers as Foreign-Born Talent Dominates Silicon Valley | Megan Barth, California Globe Two-thirds of Silicon Valley’s nearly 400,000 tech jobs are held by foreign-born workers A sweeping May 2026 RealClearInvestigations report paints a stark picture of foreign dominance in one of America’s most vital economic engines. Two-thirds of Silicon Valley’s nearly 400,000 tech jobs are held by foreign-born workers. India-born employees account for 23 percent and China-born for 18 percent–together outnumbering U.S.-born workers at just 34 percent, according to a 2025 Joint Venture Silicon Valley report. This transformation extends to the C-suites. Major companies are now led by foreign-born executives: Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, Alphabet’s Sundar Pichai, Adobe’s Shantanu Narayen, IBM’s Arvind Krishna, Intel’s Lip-Bu Tan (Malaysian-born), YouTube’s Neal Mohan, and T-Mobile US’s Srinivas Gopalan — many from India. Silicon Valley, pioneered in American garages by Jobs, Hewlett, Packard, Noyce, and Moore, has gone global at the expense of domestic workers. The economics are compelling for corporations. Foreign software developers, who comprise 38 percent of H-1B visas, earn roughly 30 percent less than Americans. Harvard economist George J. Borjas estimates companies save nearly $100,000 per H-1B worker over the standard six-year period. This “redistributes wealth from those who compete with immigrants to those who use immigrants,” Borjas has written, fueling Big Tech profits and stock surges while sidelining mid-career American professionals, like “Mary.” Veteran Silicon Valley marketer “Mary” had the experience, the resume, and the skills, with stints at Google and Cisco. Yet after two years of relentless job hunting, she remains unemployed. Her story is emblematic of a broken system: she was ordered by her Indian-born CEO to train her lower-paid foreign replacement before being laid off. “I had experience. I should have walked right into these corporate jobs, but I didn’t,” Mary told RealClearInvestigations. “Why? Because Silicon Valley is flooded with people who work for two-thirds of the price, or even half price.” Mary, who asked to be identified only by her first name, sees herself as a casualty of the H-1B visa program run amok– a program originally intended to fill genuine shortages of highly skilled American workers but now widely criticized as a pipeline for cheaper foreign labor that displaces U.S. talent. In 2025, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services approved a record 406,348 H-1B visas, up from 275,317 in 2015, with 70 percent issued to Indians. Top users included Amazon (over 13,000 applications), Meta, Microsoft, Google, and Tata Consultancy Services. Approximately 700,000 people currently live and work in the U.S. in H-1B status, according to a National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP) FY 2025 analysis Layoff patterns reveal the displacement: Google cut 951 U.S. employees in 2024 while adding 1,058 H-1B workers; Apple laid off 735 but hired 864 new H-1B employees; Microsoft shed 3,426 workers from 2022-2024 while bringing in 3,259 H-1B hires. A 2023 Economic Policy Institute analysis found the top 30 H-1B employers added over 34,000 new visa workers while laying off at least 85,000. Critics say the program’s design invites abuse. Companies face minimal requirements to prove they cannot find qualified Americans. “Prevailing wage” rules rely on manipulable regional averages. H-1B workers, often dependent on employers for green card sponsorship, create a captive, lower-cost workforce less likely to demand raises or switch jobs, a dynamic some compare to indentured servitude. Hiring has grown “tribal,” according to Kevin Lynn of the Institute for Sound Public Policy: “Professionalism doesn’t exist in these IT departments anymore… when you look at the hiring, it becomes very tribal — India versus the rest of the world.” Engineer Stephen Vivien described Indian H-1B workers at Google sharing interview questions to help each other. A New Jersey jury recently awarded $8.4 million against Cognizant Technology Solutions in a discrimination case involving bias against non-Indian workers. Even Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), whose district includes much of Silicon Valley, has acknowledged problems. He has called for reforms to prevent corporations from displacing American workers with “cheap, foreign labor who they can easily control and underpay,” while preserving pathways for truly exceptional talent. Khanna stresses proper compensation and restoring the program to its original intent. The Trump administration’s new $100,000 fee for new H-1B workers from abroad has slowed some inflows, though loopholes via foreign students on Optional Practical Training persist. Immigration attorneys report companies shifting focus to workers already in the U.S. As reported by the Globe, Rep. Eli Crane’s (R-AZ) End H-1B Visa Abuse Act of 2026, has proposed a three-year moratorium on new visas. Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) co-sponsored the measure, warning that California workers “have borne the brunt of program abuse.” The human cost is profound. Displaced Americans like Mary face not just unemployment but the erosion of the California dream they helped build. Mid-career engineers, marketers, and developers, often with families, mortgages, and roots in the state, find themselves uncompetitive against a system that rewards lower wages and networked hiring over experience and loyalty. As Congress debates reform, the stakes for California’s economy and its American workforce could not be higher. Once the cradle of native-born innovation, Silicon Valley now risks becoming a cautionary tale of policy that prioritizes corporate savings and global labor pools over domestic talent. It’s disappointing that the Trump administration hasn’t done more to halt the H-1B Visa scam? Big tech has ruined the livability and affordability of the San Francisco Bay Area and big tech should relocate to India where most of the tech workers come from? Was last in Silicon Valley nine years ago, and was HORRIFIED at the condition of the area… Waist-high weeds and trash EVERYWHERE, in the Saratoga/Sunnyvale area, where I have family. It had been several years since I’d visited them and the area used to be nicely maintained and kept up, but the third-world values have migrated to Silicon Valley along with the H1-B’s that are willing to work for cheap, live five to an apartment and send their paychecks back to Mumbai or Chennai every month…. Unfortunately, the “tribal hiring” has a 20-plus year headstart as this started in the late ’90’s and is WELL entrenched in I.T. departments STATEWIDE as my current company’s I.T. staff is 90% foreign-born, most from India. Here’s the problem with HB1 visas. They are usually hired to bring in a certain technical skill set that isnt easily found. Once they are in these large organizations, they get prioritized because they are minorities and younger and next thing you know, they have moved out of technical roles, into more mainstream leadership roles that should have gone to Americans. californiaglobe.com/fr/h-1b-…
