"Bringing back jobs to America." - Bull Shit.

I present to you: a list of every American headquartered company with over 5,000 employees in the country of India alone.

This list continues to grow rapidly every year.

According to YOUR OWN ADMINISTRATION'S DATA THAT WAS RELEASED THIS MORNING:

Foreign-born employment jumped 809,000 in October.

Native-born employment fell 64,000.

Do I really have to go through and give you a list of all the Fortune 500 companies building GCCs in 2026 too?

THE YOUNGEST WORKERS ARE ALREADY STUCK AT THE DOOR

Unemployment for Americans ages 20 to 24 was 7.5% in October. For everyone 25 and older it was 3.4%.

Some of this is automation, but there should be ZERO level one visas. ZERO entry level jobs at our public universities.

We are about to wipe out the jobs for our children and give them instead to computers so the tech oligarchs can become trillionaires.

NVIDIA'S CEO ADMITTED AN AFFAIR (WITH CHINESE SPY?).

IF THERE'S EVER A REASON TO FREEZE FOREIGN VISA HIRING, IT'S THIS.

On Sunday, Jensen Huang told NVIDIA staff he was unfaithful to his wife. "There is no excuse for what I did," he wrote. "I am deeply sorry."

U.S. intelligence officials believe the other person was Alice Huang, an executive at NVIDIA customer Megaspeed. They assessed she was recruited by China's Ministry of State Security to gather information on him and press for more advanced chip access in China, according to The New York Times. The Times also reported that Secretary of State Rubio warned top administration officials about the relationship.

Huang's email did not confirm the spy allegation. NVIDIA's board opened an independent investigation into whether he had been "the target of a foreign intelligence effort." The board said it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised. He remains CEO.

Alice Huang did not work for NVIDIA. That does not change the hiring rules. Nothing in U.S. visa law pauses a company's H-1B petitions because its CEO is under a foreign-intelligence review.

In the fiscal year that ended Sept 30, USCIS approved 641 first-time H-1B petitions for NVIDIA, up from 563 the year before. Total approvals reached 2,436, up from 1,767.

Green card paperwork kept climbing too.

From October through June, the Labor Department certified 722 PERM applications for NVIDIA, up from 496 in the same months a year earlier.

Do we really think if they targeted the CEO with a spy, they wouldn’t try to plant foreign spy’s within the company on visas?

THE H-1B GETS THE DEBATE. THE L-1 AND OPT GET BREEZED OVER.

The list is long, and most of it gets no scrutiny.

An H-1B employer has to file a Labor Condition Application and attest to paying the prevailing wage for the job and the area.

The L-1 has no such step. USCIS says it plainly: no labor market test and no prevailing wage requirement.

OPT has no prevailing wage rule either. An F-1 student on OPT is generally exempt from Social Security and Medicare tax for the first five calendar years in the U.S. The employer skips its 7.65% share on those wages too.

Our visa laws are as complicated and full of loopholes as our tax law.

🚨 THINK H-1B IS THE ONLY PATHWAY FOR FOREIGN NATIONALS TO WORK IN AMERICA?

THINK AGAIN.

Look at this list of U.S. visa and immigration pathways:

H-1B: Specialty workers
H-1B1: Chile/Singapore professionals
H-4: H-1B dependents
L-1: Corporate transfers
O-1: Extraordinary ability
TN: Canadian/Mexican professionals
E-1: Treaty traders
E-2: Treaty investors
E-3: Australian professionals
J-1: Exchange visitors
J-2: Exchange visitor dependents
EB-1: Priority worker green cards
EB-2: Advanced-degree/exceptional ability green cards
EB-3: Skilled/professional/other worker green cards
EB-5: Investor green cards
Family-based green cards

AND DON’T FORGET:

• OPT
• STEM OPT
• CPT
• PERM green card sponsorship

That’s an extraordinary number of pathways into the American labor market.

Meanwhile, American graduates are struggling to find jobs.

How many different ways do employers need to access foreign labor before Congress asks whether we’re doing enough to hire and train OUR OWN workers?

THIS SHOULD BE A BIPARTISAN ISSUE. 🇺🇸

THE BIGGEST MEDICAID CLAIMS PROCESSOR HAS A GROWING TEAM IN INDIA

Gainwell Technologies is the primary Medicaid information systems vendor in 32 states and territories. Its work touches about 70 million of the roughly 80 million Americans on Medicaid.

Gainwell's own careers page says its India headquarters sits in Bengaluru, with a branch in Chennai, and the team is "over 2,000 professionals and counting." Its 2023 diversity report put India at 1,250.

CMS told Bloomberg Law that no federal law explicitly bars Medicaid data from being stored or accessed outside the US.

HIPAA DOES NOT REQUIRE YOUR MEDICAL FILE TO STAY IN THE UNITED STATES

The agency that enforces the federal health privacy law has already said a health plan can store or process electronic medical records outside the country. The plan needs a business associate agreement and has to follow the rest of the HIPAA rules. In that same official answer, the HHS Office for Civil Rights warned that sending those records overseas "may increase the risks and vulnerabilities to the information" and can make privacy protections harder to enforce.

CVS and Aetna have a written playbook for this. A 2025 compliance notice tells their contractors to report any offshore work that receives, processes, transfers, handles, stores, or accesses beneficiary protected health information. The examples include your name, Social Security number, health insurance claim number, diagnosis, medical history, and treatment records. For Medicare plans, an authorized CVS Health representative has to approve that work before it starts. The notice defines "offshore" as people or companies physically located outside the United States or its territories, and it lists India among the example countries.

UnitedHealth told investors the same thing in its 2025 annual filing: "Some of the data we process, store and transmit may be outside of the United States due to our information technology systems and international business operations."

Medicare has been collecting paperwork on this since 2007. CMS said it was concerned about beneficiary information "handled outside of the United States," and about contractors "operating outside the jurisdiction of the United States." It asked each plan to file an attestation for every offshore contractor that can receive, process, or access those records, including work like claims processing and beneficiary call centers. The official Medicare Advantage application for 2027 still requires that filing.

A patient does not generally get a personal notice that their own file is being handled overseas. Aetna's current privacy notices mention business associates "who provide services to us" and do not mention offshore or overseas handling.

These rules sit in official company filings, contractor notices, and Medicare applications, written down before any of that work leaves the country.
