Exclusive – Paul Gosar: Big Tech Getting 15 Percent Discount to Hire Foreign Workers over Americans
ORLANDO, Florida — Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) warned that big tech companies are incentivized to hire foreign workers over Americans as he discussed President Joe Biden’s immigration agenda during an exclusive interview with Breitbart News at the Conservative Political Action Conference. Gosar highlighted continuing visa programs he says “don’t work,” particularly the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program for crowding Americans out of tech jobs while tech corporations profit. In 2019, Gosar introduced legislation titled the “Fairness for High Skilled Americans Act” to end the OPT program as Americans cannot be hired through the program. “I’m one of the big people talking about OPT, which is the Optional Practical Training program, that Congress never authorized,” Gosar said in reference to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) running the program on its own accord instead of enacting the program through Congress. “This is an unkept intrusion of foreign workers that gives benefits to people like big tech to bring in folks from China, and from Pakistan, and from India, and one of the problems that exists here is that you get a 15.5 percent discount to hire them over American citizens,” Gosar said. “That 15.5 percent discount is the FICA [Federal Insurance Contribution Act] withholding tax that puts money into Social Security and Medicare.” Indeed, the OPT program provides a tax incentive, and thus a subsidy paid for by American taxpayers, for corporations to hire foreign workers over Americans. Every year, about half a million foreign students enrolled in U.S. universities secure American white-collar jobs through the OPT program. Corporations such as Amazon, Google, Deloitte, and Intel employ thousands of OPT foreign workers over American STEM graduates every year — reaping a more than 15 percent discount because the employers can evade at least $20 billion to $30 billion in FICA taxes over the years. As Breitbart News has reported , there are ...
Twitch retracts ‘womxn’ spelling for Women’s History Month

Twitch, a leading live streaming service that’s popular with gamers and content creators, has retracted a well-intentioned campaign that was meant to be inclusive . On Monday, the digital company kicked off Women’s History Month by spelling the word women with an "x" instead of an "e," and launching an alliance that catered to this group – which has historically been underrepresented, according to Twitch and other industry insiders. WOMAN MAKES GENDER-NEUTRAL PLAYING CARD DECK: REPORT "March is Womxn’s History Month," Twitch’s Twitter account posted on March 1 in a now deleted tweet. "Join us in celebrating and supporting all the Womxn creating their own worlds, building their communities, and leading the way on Twitch." Twitch, a leading live streaming service that’s popular with gamers and content creators, upset Twitter users when it spelled women as "womxn." (Gabby Jones/Bloomberg via Getty Images) However, not all of Twitter agreed with the streaming company’s chosen spelling for cisgender and gender-nonconforming groups. Some critics argued that the spelling undermined womanhood and the accomplishments of women throughout history. HASBRO REBRANDING MR. POTATO HEAD TOY LINE AS GENDER-NEUTRAL 'POTATO HEAD,' BUT NOT RENAMING INDIVIDUAL TOYS Meanwhile, others deemed the spelling to be exclusive of transgender and intersex communities since the term is allegedly being used by trans-exclusive radical feminist (also known as " TERF ") groups. Other Twitter users argued the spelling forces people who identify as non-binary into a binary. "Trans folks don’t need you to use ‘womxn’, because in fact, trans women are women and we don’t need a separate word to be included," wrote Twitch partner Stefanie Luciana Peloza, in response to the ...

The legislation has proved popular so far despite near uniform GOP opposition in Congress, but Democrats aren’t taking any chances — particularly as Republicans step up their attacks on the measure. Biden and the party are conscious of the first years of the Obama White House, when public opinion turned against the new president’s stimulus legislation. Public opinion also faltered for the Affordable Care Act, and Democrats lost their House majority in 2010 while their Senate majority was greatly diminished. ADVERTISEMENT Biden this week encouraged House Democrats to “speak up and speak out” about the plan, suggesting the Obama administration “paid a price” for not taking enough of a victory lap after the 2009 recovery package. The White House, Democrats on Capitol Hill and outside groups are all planning advocacy efforts that will emphasize direct benefits in the package to everyday Americans, including the measure’s popular $1,400 direct payments, which would be distributed to millions of households. “Fourteen-hundred-dollar direct payments are popular,” Sen.
