Biden Vows to 'Beat Russia' by Importing Russians for Americans’ Careers

A funding request sent to Congress by President Joe Biden has claimed indebted U.S. college graduates would help the war against Russia by sharing their careers with imported Russian graduates
The funding request “would amend section 203(b)(2) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to eliminate the requirement that Russian STEM professionals have an employer sponsor in the United States before applying for an employment-based [green card] visa,” says the April 28 the funding request.
The bill would “attract and retain Russian STEM talent and undercut Russia’s innovative potential, benefitting U.S. national security,” the document says.
The message to U.S. professionals is that “Uncle Sam wants YOU to suffer wage depression … to ensure that a larger portion of Ukraine is under the government of Kyiv but not Moscow,” responded Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies.

“It’s not a vital U.S. interest whether some districts of eastern Ukraine are to be run from Moscow or Kyiv,” said Krikorian.
The bloody war over districts in Eastern Ukraine, such as the Luhansk Oblast, “is the kind of ugly European power politics that our Founding Fathers wanted to keep us out,” he added.
GOP leaders will try to exclude the corporate giveaway from the spending bill, one Hill source told Breitbart News.
The Democratic majority can pass “an expensive aid package where we’re going to send defense and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine … or even to the neighboring European nations to help them absorb refugees in their country,” the source said.
“But we [Republicans] will not be including immigration provisions.”
The spending request rule would allow Fortune 500 executives to hire hundreds of thousands of desperate Russian graduates for the jobs and careers that are needed by tens of millions of American graduates.

Those U.S. graduates are already being forced to compete for jobs and decent wages against the little-recognized population of roughly 1.5 million college-trained contract workers extracted from India, China, and other poor countries.
The spending request hides the breadth of foreign graduates sought by the new extraction policy under a long list of military-style technologies:
But the language says the invite is for Russians who “have earned a master’s or doctoral degree in the United States or an equivalent foreign degree in a field involving science, technology, engineering, or mathematics [STEM].”
But the federal definition of “STEM” is extremely broad.
The definition is also being expanded to the universities which dangle U.S. work permits to help recruit fee-paying foreign students.
“If [the plan] were confined to PhDs in STEM fields, the numbers would be much lower,” Krikorian said:
"The tell is that these proposals are never limited to PhDs.
"They always include master’s degree holders.
"Frankly, I have a master’s degree and I shouldn’t be getting any special immigration consideration from any foreign country and neither should master’s degree holders abroad …
"This kind of [masters degree] proposal always metastasizes into a means of importing cheap labor to undermine Americans.”
A 2017 article in Forbes.com calculated that Russia had 561,000 STEM graduates.
As usual, the scale of the program is unrecognized by U.S. reporters who do not recognize the federal government’s long-standing strategy of fuelling economic growth with extraction migration from poor countries.
For example, Bloomberg.com reported the extraction proposal shows the U.S. is “enticing experts in semiconductors, cybersecurity, space,” even as it also noted that “A spokesman for the National Security Council confirmed that the effort is meant to weaken Putin’s high-tech resources in the near term and undercut Russia’s innovation base over the long run — as well as benefit the U.S. economy and national security.”
