| Dear Patriot,
First, on the H-1B program and our efforts to counter it. Microsoft laid off 9,000 engineers—and then asked our government for permission to hire 9,000 foreign workers. We’ve linked to a story about this below. But this is a story we’ve heard in this country ever since this poisonous program was started in the mid-1990s: Americans laid off and replaced by foreigners at half the cost. Americans forced to train their foreign replacements. Americans who were told to “learn to code,” only to end up DoorDashing after discovering their degrees in computer science and engineering are worthless. A particularly insidious part of this program is the way Microsoft and others lure foreign workers into these below-market jobs with the promise of eventual citizenship. Look Ahead America has spent the last few months developing a program to stop this abuse in its tracks through a combination of grassroots activism and lawfare. I look forward to announcing that program soon. ICE Jobs for J6ers The One Big Beautiful Bill expanded funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement by nearly tenfold so they can fulfill the critically important mission of mass deportations across the United States. LAA is committed to helping as many former J6 political prisoners as possible secure jobs within this newly expanded agency. We are preparing a training program specifically for those who were persecuted by the previous administration for their participation in the January 6, 2021 First Amendment Exercise at the U.S. Capitol. To accomplish this, we are seeking former ICE agents who can assist in leading this training. If you or someone you know is interested and qualified, please reply directly to this email. SAVE Our State: Arizona Off to a Good Start—But Other States Are Lacking! Our efforts to train grassroots activists to pressure their state governments into implementing SAVE Act rules at the state level are making great progress in Arizona. There, we’re building a partnership with local activists to deliver our first training session and leadership conference in October. However, we’re still missing strong local connections in many other states. LAA is ready to provide training and resources to get this program off the ground nationwide but we need local help with promotion and putting butts in seats. Please email the director of this project, Kimmie Gonzalez, at Kimmie@LookAheadAmerica.org if you’re interested in helping us set up a SAVE Our States Training Day in your state. America First, America Forever. Matt Braynard |
