NonilexBut the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/PERM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PERM</a> system also takes a toll on its supposed beneficiaries, the temporary <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/employees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#employees</a> seeking permanent residency. Even after their PERM applications are approved, they must typically wait >10yrs before getting a <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/GreenCard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GreenCard</a>, a long wait even by the standards of the US <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#immigration</a> system. In the interim,it can be hard for them to leave their sponsoring employers,exposing them to overwork at jobs that often pay less than what their American counterparts receive. <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#labor</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#law</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/exploitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#exploitation</a>

NonilexThese columns of ads…not really looking for applicants underscore the challenges facing US <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/TechWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TechWorkers</a> & the striking disparities in the current <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#immigration</a> landscape. As restaurants, meatpackers & countless other businesses now risk having workers targeted by <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ICE</a>, <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tech</a> employers have…escaped <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> admin scrutiny for use of <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ForeignLabor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ForeignLabor</a>. Among companies sponsoring many <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/H1B" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#H1B</a> employees for <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/GreenCards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GreenCards</a> …are ones aligned w/ <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a>, such as <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Oracle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Oracle</a>, <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Palantir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Palantir</a> & <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Musk</a>’s <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tesla</a>. <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#labor</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#law</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/PERM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PERM</a>

NonilexThis makes for a highly ironic juxtaposition: pages of print ads paid for by <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tech</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/employers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#employers</a>, many of them the same Silicon Valley giants that have helped eviscerate newspaper classifieds & drive down print newspaper circulation to the point that it can be hard even to find a place to buy a paper in many communities.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#immigration</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#labor</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#law</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/exploitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#exploitation</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/PERM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PERM</a>

NonilexIt’s no surprise that the efforts at this point can be less than sincere.This is where the [endless & deceptive] newspaper ads come in. Under US Dept of <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Labor</a> rules dating back to the era before the worldwide web, employers must post the <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/job" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#job</a> for which <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/PERM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PERM</a> certification is being sought for 30 days with a state workforce agency & in 2 successive Sunday newspapers in the job’s location.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Immigration</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#law</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/exploitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#exploitation</a>

Nonilex…As a result of choices made by legislators 35yrs ago, the effort to find a <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/citizen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#citizen</a> is not expected at the front end, when employers are considering <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/hiring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hiring</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/workers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#workers</a> from abroad. At that point, employers simply enter the lottery for <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/H1Bs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#H1Bs</a>, & if they get one, they can use it.Only once a company has employed someone for 5 or 6 yrs & become *committed* to *helping* that person stay in the US permanently must the company show that it is trying to find someone else.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#immigration</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#labor</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#law</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/PERM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PERM</a>

NonilexThere is even less attention given to what happens w/these foreign <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/workers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#workers</a> — ¾ of whom are…from <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/India" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#India</a> —when many decide they want to stay beyond the 6yr max allowed for an <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/H1B" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#H1B</a> recipient (a 3yr term can be renewed 1X). To qualify for a <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/GreenCard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GreenCard</a>, workers must get their employers to sponsor them via the Permanent <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Labor</a> Cert process, aka <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/PERM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PERM</a>. And to do that, employers must demonstrate that they made a sincere effort to find someone else—a <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/UScitizen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UScitizen</a> or permanent resident….<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Immigration</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#law</a>

But almost as quickly as it started, the spat vanished from the news.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Immigration</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#law</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/exploitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#exploitation</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/PERM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PERM</a>

NonilexIt is a process that nearly everyone involved admits is nonsensical, highly vulnerable to abuse, as well as a contributor to inequities among domestic & foreign <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tech</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/workers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#workers</a>.Yet the system has endured for decades, largely out of public view.
