Mark Zuckerberg Throws Pal Joe Green Under the Tech Immigration Bus
theodp (442580) writes "A month after he argued that Executive Action by President Obama on tech immigration was needed lest his billionaire bosses at Mark Zuckerberg's FWD.us PAC have to hire 'just sort of OK' U.S. workers, Re/code reports that Joe Green — Zuckerberg's close friend and college roommate — has been pushed out of his role as President of FWD.us for failing to Git-R-Done on an issue critical to the tech community. "Today, we wanted to share an important change with you," begins 'Leadership Change', the announcement from the FWD.us Board that Todd Schulte is the new Green. So what sold FWD.us on Schulte? "His [Schulte's] prior experience as Chief-of-Staff at Priorities USA, the Super PAC supporting President Obama's re-election," assured Zuckerberg in a letter to FWD.us contributors, "will ensure FWD.us continues its momentum for reform." Facebook, reported the Washington Post in 2013, became legally "dependent" on H-1B visas and subject to stricter regulations shortly before Zuckerberg launched FWD.us with Green at the helm."
Drive down wages, you American IDIOTS. It's all lower class, a light smattering of old people who have money who could possibly count for a lower middle class, and a thin crust of extremely wealthy people who either got there honestly or by luck or in the case of Zuckerberg, by luck and thievery.
There couldn't be a wrose personality to be in power than Zuckerberg.
"If any question why we died, Tell them because our fathers lied."
I hereby award you Most Unreadable News Snippet Award. Bravo.
But, how is this possible? I thought Obama banned his team from becoming lobbyists after they left him???
I guess that rule doesn't apply to everyone. Good thing we have the most transparent administration ever and these lobbying efforts won't influence anyone...
The party of stupid and the party of evil get together and do something both stupid and evil, then call it bipartisan.
What this boils down to is we've got a company propped up on nothing more than hot air and advertising that has to lowball the market in order to keep their ill-gotten goods. Keep in mind Zuckerbergs billions came from people investing in his company, it didn't come from actual sales of a product. Of course the man is a scam artist.
1: To have Americans work on critical projects and not spill the beans to your competition, you need a NDA and non-compete agreement, both if which you pay American workers a premium for. With H1B's, you don't.
2: When you hire a college grad with a school loan, you're paying their them to be educated irregardless if you like it or not.
3: This is about wage arbitrage; whenever you sell products made in a slave wage state to a free state, you are in effect consuming the margin the labor pool in that free state would otherwise make to, and here's the key guys, put the cash in your pocket, you aren't doing a god damn thing for the world. There aren't more engineers, or better educated engineers, or better products, or better designed products, or better manufacturing and construction methodology. Do that enough and you destabilize the government like in Russia, and that one led to millions of deaths from the Russian Mob selling of arms, including nukes, to foreign countries.
4: What are you doing, Zuckerberg, to motivate Americans to work hard? Because at the end of the day, if you aren't sharing the profits and are just exploiting you, Americans will destroy your business. Mexicans do the same thing nowadays, and the Indians, well, they aren't much better.
Or not, in this case.
The group had tens of millions of dollars at its disposal to work on this issue that is critical to the tech community and has come up with, well, peanuts.
http://recode.net/2014/09/19/joe-green-out-at-fwd-us/
All that money to brib, er, dispose of, and still no results from Congress, or the President. Billionaires sad :(
They pay a stipend (aka low pay) to all the advocacy fellows in their job section. Clearly, they mean Fwd.us = MoneyFor.us
They are trying for straight up amnesty for everyone here illegally. Hell, we're importing illegals from Guatemala and points south and advertising for them to come here. Tech workers? We're going to end up cutting out the low end of the work force, too.
Sort of OK? Fuck you Mark, you degenerate piece of shit!
Zuckerberg is also a traitor to the American tech worker.
Hey, Mark, MSFT just laid off 18,000 people; Cisco just laid off a bunch; MSFT just the other day closed its research center right down the street from you - filled with gifted coders and brilliance. Mark, there is a MOUND of studies showing NO shortage of STEM works in the US.
Some facts: The H-1B fiasco has cost Americans **$10TRILLION** dollars, since 1975. For anyone who wants to know the truth, read on.
One of the most respected technology pundits in Silicon Valley has this to say about the H1-B worker problem http://www.cringely.com/2012/1... Here's an attorney and his consultants teaching corporations how to manipulate foreign-worker immigration law to replace qualified American workers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
H1-B abuse if accompanied by other worker-visa abuse L-1 Visa (H1-B's are only the tip of the iceberg). There are more than 20 categories of foreign worker visas. http://economyincrisis.org/con...
Professor Norman Matloff's extremely well documented studies on this problem. http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/...
Federal offshoring of healthcare.gov website http://www.economicpopulist.or...
How H1-B visa abuse is hurting American tech workers http://www.motherjones.com/pol...
There is no stem worker crisis in America http://spectrum.ieee.org/at-wo...
Marc Zuckerberg and wealthy tech scions continue to perpetuate this trend http://programmersguild.org/do...
Yahoo http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs...
Also, little known is the tactic of creating many different kinds of sub-visa categories to "fool the system". There are almost TWENTY different kinds of work visas. The whole thing is a sham and a lie, designed to drag down wages and keep from having to re-train Americans. Never thought I would see this day!
Some of the information presented in the following links will shock most Americans, because American corporate leaders don't want us to know the truth, and they are paying off policy makers with contributions to keep the truth from us. Bill Gates, John Chambers, Mark Zuckerberg, Eric Schmidt, and many, many others - including the principals of the most prominent immigration law firms, who profit from this outrage, are lying through their teeth. There is NO shortage of STEM workers in the US!!
Last, Zuckerberg has all out lied since day 1 about guaranteeing privacy on Facebook - just outright lied. Facebook has become something that teens shun and will soon go the way of MSFT, run by another deceiver, Bill Gates, on the H1-B issue.
Its tragic that Mark et al are being forced to put up with just sort of OK US workers.
You know one step that Mark et al could take that would grease the skids on their immigration reforms?
Pay the geniuses they want to import what they're worth. See The Bottom of the Pay Scale: Wages for H-1B Computer Programmers.
In fact, Mark et al should either pay back salaries to all of the H-1b workers they've ever employed or Mark et al should be thrown in prison for fraudulent abuse of the H-1B guest worker provision.
Seastead this.

He's throwing the entire pool of U.S. workers under the bus!! "...just OK..." ???
We should learn what we need to know about issues, before we decide what we need to feel about them.
The whole argument that we need more H1B visas issued is BS! There are plenty of qualified and well educated Americans, but they won't work for peanuts like most of those desperate to enter the U.S. will.
The big corporations in this counrty would rather hire foreiners that will work for lower saleries than hire fellow Americans who are qualified and need the jobs. They are willing to sell out fellow Americans to make a few extra dollars.
there's plenty of space for Zuckerberg to pad his affirmative action quotas!
He's clearly making too much money, and if President Obama has his way, most of that money will be redistributed to the needy. You know, the people that want stuff without earning it or paying for it. They are needy.
And African Americans are very needy these days. If you don't give them gibs, they will infect the rest of us with Ebola. I don't know how they will survive after that, but it's the thought that counts. Kinda like how African Americans will riot and destroy things for fun, and then threaten to riot again unless someone else comes in and cleans up their mess. Because African Americans don't know how to build; they only know how to destroy.
Just like President Obama, who has done nothing but attempt to destroy the United States of America. If it wasn't for the Democrats and the Republicans, our country would look like South Africa after they ended apartheid.
To "Git-R-Done" is a really strange expression, never seen it and I don't lknow what the fuck it means. Did Joe Green failed to use git the repository software and be done?
More to the point, I didn't know what the FWD.us website was. Then, throwing people under buses is not nice.
the disappointing thing about FWD.us is it focuses too much on increasing the quota of temporary (H-1B) visas, and almost no effort on streamlining the path from temporary to permanent. The reason isn't so difficult to see, temporary visas (6-years) are great for employers, not only do they bring in invaluable skills, but they also ensure those skills are tied to the company. They're not so great for either the temporary workers or other potential competitors in the labor market, because they are tied until the sponsoring employer *may at its discretion* apply for permanent residence status. Note in this case success is by no means assured, and may take up to two years. Personally I think the current H-1B quota is more than adequate if it were not used so heavily by a small number of companies, who account for the vast majority of applications. The most urgently needed reform is to not only streamline the permanent residence process, but to also give more agency to H-1B workers, to for instance self-petition for permanent residence status based on a number of factors. This will reduce the natural 'pull' to employers for temporary workers, and even the playing field between temporary and permanent residents.
Seems if they want to play that way they should allow Americans to apply for the H1-B status before foreigners.. let them compete on a level playing field
Or a collection of fullstops, dashes and capitalised consonants?
Not so much. Critical to the _investor class_ maybe? But for anyone in tech this is the end of what's left of their careers. How are we suppose to compete which borderline indentured servitude?

If you mean that there is no shortage of people with STEM credentials, you are absolutely right. But most of those people are the product of a dysfunctional US educational system. They have fancy degrees but not the skills the US needs. US industry doesn't want them. The fact that there is a worldwide shortage of qualified STEM graduates is easy to see, since many other nations basically just rubber stamp work visas for skilled workers.
And the idea that you can force American companies to hire American workers that don't meet their needs is ludicrous. What those companies are going to do is hire the workers they actually want overseas. And eventually, they are just going to leave the US altogether, by moving their headquarters abroad, by "inversions", or eventually by just getting acquired by overseas competitors.
He is in way over his head and making mockery of IT industry, and should step down from Facebook as unfit as the CEO, or someone should lead a boardroom coup oust him!
Let them. That's the real problem. These companies do not want to move overseas, probably couldn't sustain the model they have if they did so, but want to exploit the system by paying overseas wages with the advantages they get from being a US company. Let them go elsewhere, there are plenty who would take their place. Instead, they are taking ad money from companies selling in the US, or selling products to US citizens banking on the expendable income that is common here while hoping to lower their employees wages to that of nations where this expendable income isn't present. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Let them go, or let them pay what is expected in the nation they are selling to. I wish we would do the same with manufacturing.
If you want access to awesome overseas talent, go overseas with your company.
They will gladly tell you that insurance rates have been going up for decades, and having to choose new doctors is something all grownups have to do on a regular basis.
My first thought was: If your workers are so fantastic, are so much better than the "just OK" workers that can be found in America, why does Facebook suck so many balls? Why have I more or less sworn off Facebook because of how utterly inane and narcissistic and, at least formerly, downright slow it is/was? If I heard that coming from anyone, I would think, "What an asshole." But coming from Zuckerberg, I think, "What a dumb asshole!" :)
Note: it may not be slow anymore. A few years ago, it was slow as week-old constipated shit on an oldish computer I was using... that managed to run every single other website and application that I used just fine. This spoke volumes about how efficient the code was and about just how great his team really was. I am not and have never been impressed by Facebook. May it go the way of friendster and myspace. Hell, I remember when the chat alert sound would have a lag of like a second and sound fucked up. And I'd go into gmail and its chat (and sounds) would be seamless. There was some real rotten code in the middle of that beast, and I would be surprised if it wasn't still the case. I just have a fancy desktop now that can handle anything, so I don't notice. Oh, no, that's not true. I installed facebook purity and then Facebook stopped crashing my browser when it would try to autoplay the videos with another audio stream open. Lame-ass-program, Facebook. And just now, I realized this wasn't exactly Facebook claiming this, so I'm probably rambling, but close enough.
Used to be Storage Tech, IBM, Bell Labs, HP, lots of etcs, took the best-and-brightest from college and trained them to be the brilliant thinkers they needed for the future. So many sharp young programmers get stuck tapping mind-numbing code for games or websites, and never get the opportunity to do some productive work - you know, where the results matter. The offshore billions these CSs are warehousing, should be going toward in-house training and R&D not lining the pockets of the 1%, who pay virtually no taxes on unearned (or earned - HA! ) income.
...repeating it.
The summary gives me no clue what this article is about, because it is COMPLETELY FUCKING UNREADABLE. How is it that these people are getting hired for editor jobs, yet don't seem to have a rudimentary grasp of how to write readable summaries?
How about:
"Joe Green, head of the FWD.us Political Action Committee (PAC) has resigned, and will be replaced by Todd Schulte, according to an announcement from the PAC. Rumors suggest that Green was pushed out due to the organization's failure to produce results lobbying for tech immigration reform. The FWD.us PAC was founded by Mark Zuckerberg shortly after a Washington Post report described Facebook as having becom "legally dependent" on H-1B visas, which made the company subject to stricter regulations as a result."
Or, if you want ridiculous click-bait:
"Joe Green was Mark Zuckerberg's close friend and college roommate - and you won't believe what he's up to now!"
Or, if you want something sure to catch the eyes of the super smart Slashdot elite conspiracy theory team:
"Shady bazillionaire toady something something conspiracy something 99% other bazillionaire today, Obama hope change bus immigration bazinga!"
I submit that all THREE of these alternatives would make for better reading. Slashdot, I humbly await your job offer.
In the specific case of Facebook, it is not about driving wages down. Facebook pays decent wages, even for Silicon Valley standards. It is about not increasing wages.
If it's not (in any way) about wages, then there would be no problem for Congress to repeal the 1965 Immigration Act in its entirety, cancel all the programs enabled by it, and (via the market) actively/aggressively solicit long-term unemployed US citizens in their place - as regular workers. There are more than enough of them to go around to be not only qualified, but very well qualified. Unfortunately, citizenship in the US makes people expensive, even for hard-working, by-the-book immigrants that want to come to the US.
Truth of the matter is, in the SF Bay Area, it is hard to be unemployed if you're a properly skilled tech worker, citizen, green-card holder or otherwise.
Truth of the matter is that "properly skilled" can be redefined to exclude otherwise-suitable US citizens too easily. In the eyes of an H1-b/L1/etc. supporter, "properly skilled" is equivalent to saying "has proper fear of an employer". If you were to go to the extreme end of business-friendliness (which spawned the H1-b preference), the ultimately qualified worker is a slave. They cost nothing and are the easiest to dispose.
That doesn't mean I condone the way that the H1-B program often is being abused today. I've seen abuse, and we'll always see that.
Then get rid of what enables the abuse - every single guest worker program. After that, strict enforcement of immigration laws already on the books - SB1070 and similar laws show that it works.
But this is only made possible due to the ridiculous limits on permanent resident visas vs the amount of H1-B visas, as I pointed out in this comment
The only proper limit for all guest worker programs is 0. If you want someone enough, they'll take up naturalization where they can't be corralled between sponsor employers. It might make them incur business-unfriendly "costs of freedom" (by being able to choose their employer), but the market also functions to raise prices.

The Zucker is not just tossing Joe under the bus. He wants to pay 3rd world wages for the best trained worker Bangalore can produce (while producing 1st world profits, natch). Those pesky locals are grumpy about working 100 hour weeks, paying the mortgage on minimum wage, and eating more than rice and curry. So toss the locals, hire the foreign workers, pay them there, pay lower taxes there, collect revenue here, pocket the difference. Isn't American wonderful (if your are a billionaire)?
There is something wrong here.
There is a very dissonant disconnect with Zuck, O and much of the federalistas y centralistas in D.C.
Eh comrades. Big O is not so BIG and not so O.

All this about making difficult to bring in h1b worker is useless. The whole point is to bring in someone that locally you can't find the talent. However, this core rule is often worked around. I remember a few years ago I over hear a slimy manager coaching my former manager about how to bring in a h1b they wanted. That a-hole told him that just tailor the job requirement around the h1b's resume. Evidently there is an equal candidate, but he is a local and they don't want to pay him at the local rate. So the slime told my manager as an example, given the h1b guy claim he has 5 years of c# experience, put that down as part of the job requirement even though we don't even use c# and would not have consider it w/o rewrite everything we have developed. However, given the local guy did not have C# experience, this gives justification. While at it, toss in SQL and other crap that the local guy's resume don't have. I decided right then to get the hell out and warned my friends within the group and outside the group not to join. Yes, they did hired the h1b and I left soon after. Most of people I warned also got out and in a way later I found out due to brain drain, it was decided that the group should move to a low cost geo. Oh the manager? Last time I saw him, he looked like crap and he is doing some sort of program management as an individual contributor. He couldn't understand why people don't want to work for him. The h1b guy hung around long enough to help the transition to the low cost geo. To be honest, I don't have any sympathy to the manager or the h1b guy who got caught in the middle.
When social security was put in place it was based on the idea of an expanding job base with more and more middle-class Americans paying in each year to support retirees. Social Security is racing toward bankruptcy and if you are under 60 you will not get your promised benefits. One of the reasons the program is going to collapse is that people like Gates and Zuck and (and Apple and Google and friends) have depressed the pay-in to SS by many billions of dollars by suppressing wages by importing H1B users, outsourcing manufacturing, and under-the-table no-poaching agreements. Any company doing ANY of these things SHOULD by all rights be hit with a MASSIVE social security, workers' comp, and unemployment surtax... perhaps 25% of global assets and revenue ;-)
Remember: ALL these actions are by VERY clever people who know EXACTLY what they are doing... these actions do not just depress the pay and benefits of the actual individual worker; they affect the "prevailing" "industry standard" wage in each job category and in all related job categories. If you simply slow the rate of increase in the wage of one engineer at Google or Apple or Facebook, you suppress the ability of the techs that work around him to ask for more pay and that in-turn affects the benefits for the lesser-skilled around those people. When wages fail to rise at the natural rate for programmers at Apple, all the programmers working at other firms in California find it harder to ask for wage increases. People who focus on the individual with the H1B and the individual he/she rplaced are playing "small ball" while the tech titans and the elected officials they buy are getting insanely wealthy playing a professional game... These guys are exactly like "big oil" (who scheme over pennies on the gallon - because that becomes millions of dollars when you consider the number of gallons being sold) in that even if they suppress pay or benefits by a very small amount for an individual, it becomes millions when you consider the total number of employees.
Every time there is talk about H1-B, the "THEY TOOK OUR JOBS" crowd is very vocal. They put the issue as hiring a qualified american vs hiring a clueless Indian. However, there are many cases of hiring a clueless American vs hiring a qualified European caused by the current American work visa malaise as well which legitimately hurts the American companies.
They will gladly tell you that insurance rates have been going up for decades, and having to choose new doctors is something all grownups have to do on a regular basis.
And in addition, if they've paid any attention, they will also tell him that the rates have increased both before and after the passage of the ACA because of government.
I dunno about *your* parents, but mine saw the same doctor for decades, until he retired. Because government made it more attractive for him to retire rather than to keep his practice open.
But hey, let's give government even more of people's hard-earned money and even more control over everything!

Sounds like she could easily be replaced by an H1b worker.
Time to offend someone
Correct. Furthermore when you have gutted the demand side of the economy what emerges are phenomena like Walmart where lower consumer prices are achieved through a monopsony (the private sector form of the "single payer" holy grail socialized medicine seeks for the same reason) that not only pays its suppliers less, but also its employees less because as the jobs market contracts, there is nowhere else to work ultimately. Walmart also knows EXACTLY what it is doing when it trains its employees in the art of extracting government benefits from a decreasing government revenue stream.
All of this wouldn't be so bad if the tax base were on net assets rather than economic activity as at least then the companies engaging in corrupt hiring practices --such as I witnessed during the huge ramp up in H-1b circa 2000 when I was told I could hire all the programmers from India for HP but not the single US-citizen specialist in the field that I needed -- will be dumped because the companies doing them will be put out of business by a more level playing field in the free market.

I don't really agree with the whole "stealing jobs" thing, but some concern with these types of visas include
* Foreign workers are at the mercy of employers
Yes, even when they come here on a decent wage, employers often use the visa to push for unpaid OT, or to have them look the other way in the face of workplace violations
* Investing in workers
This is perhaps a bigger issue to me, and the issue itself goes beyond work visas etc. The relationship between companies and their employees is sour. Companies used to invest in their employees more, and in-turn they often got more loyalty. Except for some union situations, it's easier to get rid of employees and re-hire than to invest in training. If the foreign worker is more qualified that's as least something, but it would be nice if companies considered training existing employees or offering more education advancement opportunities. There's ignored value in keeping somebody around who knows the workings of a company, even if he/she is missing some of the technical merits for a position.
However, I don't fault foreign workers for taking better-paying jobs in better-paying environments.If somebody offered me a 50% raise to work in a tropical country I'd have a hard time passing that up.
What keeps someone at a job that might pay less than he could get for hopping?
1. Individual job satisfaction? (Yeah, laugh! That's a big part of the industry's problem! Proof: http://thedailywtf.com/ :-)
2. Co-workers, the company, the location
3. Benefits and incentives to remain
I guess as a Boomer, these might be old fart attitudes. But at least for many of the people I've worked with, they're significant considerations. Salary alone has rarely been the primary reason engineers change jobs. That's well-documented, here's one reference that tries to summarize the research: http://blogs.hbr.org/2013/04/d...
So, how many of the 6 Million odd people who live in the San Francisco Bay Area could actually compete with you for a job? And if they could, are there enough positions to go around? The first answer is that very few of the people who live here could compete with you because for lots of reason YOU are a member of an elite. The second answer is that there really are FEWER positions available than the lying sacks of shit who run many of the companies here want to admit. The positions are so specialized because there are far more people pestering the HR departments of their companies for those few positions, AND, they are taking advantage of the law to hire off-shore "talent" whether or not those people are creative or productive. The demand exceeds the supply and for some segments of the industry hiring an idiot who does what he is told is cheaper than wading through all the supply to find a better match.
Where this matters is that more and more you work in an ivory tower with the great unwashed baying at the gate and resenting you more and more because you say smug things like we hear here that belie the reality out there. I have been on both sides of the divide. I know what it is like to work on the inside and I know what it is like to be "out" like I am now. The reason I am out has to do with external factors that make me uncompetative, such as mounting physical disability. I was excluded during the dot.gone "recovery" which really wasn't. There is a big lie that Silicon Valley was like it was before 2004 or that it is pulling its weight, that it deserves to be revered any more as a job creator, even if it is a wealth creator; the number of people employed by the best capitalized companies is really quite small in number. I would like to see SV discouraged and the companies move away, like to Texas, as its impact on this area has turned largely negative. Only 1-percent'ers are benefiting and the rest of us are having to pay in higher property values and rents, and we pay more taxes because of the property pressures. I'd like to see many of the companies move out. The Party's Over!
YOU are a member of an elite
No I'm not. I was forced out of San Jose because of the high housing prices. I'm not even going to try Palo Alto, Menlo Park or San Francisco. I'm way south of the Bay. Definitely not elite, even though I'd like to think of myself as someone skilled in network engineering.
you work in an ivory tower with the great unwashed baying at the gate
You could not be further from the truth. I encourage anyone, from the janitor to the security guards, to take an interest in computer science and network engineering. I remind them that I never took any classes that are relevant to my job. If I can do it, they can do it. So can everyone else who is interested. I got to where I am today because I threw Windows 95 from my PC and installed Linux. That led me down a path of systems administrator, network administrator to the JNCIE that I am today. My formal education did nothing whatsoever to get me here. Nothing 31337 about that.
I'm not a complete idiot... Some parts are missing.
feel free to leave any time. Of course the places that would take a self-entitled deadbeat like you don't have any infrastructure for you to leach off of so I guess we'll just have to listen to you whine.
I've been recruiting engineers for ten years. The American colleges are putting out fine candidates, they just want to be paid market wages and be treated legally. That is the only shortage. The US education system is only dysfunctional at the high school and below levels, but no one is putting H1s in unskilled labor.
H1s will put up with abuse because if you get fired for refusing an illegal request you still get deported and your green card process gets reset, and the green card process takes several years. If you sexually harass that cute blonde American girl from WPI there's a nonzero chance you get sued and perhaps fired. If you do it to the cute blonde Russian girl from Moscow you probably get away with it.

You should try actually being a "guest worker" in another country sometime. Then maybe you'd see how completely full of crap you are.
That doesn't disprove the issues in the US. All that it does is show other guest worker programs, where similar contempt exists.
