The Diversity Report #16

  A selection of articles showcasing the benefits of diversity, equity and inclusion:

•  I noted this yesterday, but it bears repeating: The lesbian LA fire chief, Kristin Crowley, "implemented an internal 'racial equity plan' in 2021, and, in 2023, launched a bureau in preparation for a three-year strategic plan to increase diversity in the department." 
• Related: "DEI In a Fire: LA's Obese Female Assistant Fire Chief Says, No, I'm Not Able to Carry Your Husband Out of a Fire, But If You Think About It, Isn't That His Fault?"--Ace of Spades. 
• "Homeless man with ‘flamethrower’ busted on suspicion of arson near LA’s Kenneth Fire after residents detain him"--New York Post. No name or other information provided, but he looks like he is from south of the border.
• "Confirmed: An Illegal Immigrant Set a Woman on Fire in NYC Subway"--PJ Media.
• "Tren de Aragua is terrorizing Utah — as Venezuelan dissident warns that local authorities ‘are not ready’"--New York Post.
  
• "Illegal migrant charged with murdering girlfriend in Utah — a week after he’d been deported for second time"--New York Post.
  
• "Illegal migrant who's been deported 5 times is arrested for trying to snatch girl at Alabama store"--Daily Mail. 
• "Migrants take over, trash beloved NYC community garden — transforming greenspace into heap of beds and human feces"--New York Post.
  
• "Central American Officials Complain They ‘Don’t Have Capacity’ to Take Back Illegals Deported by Trump"--Breitbart. I thought this bit interesting (bold added): "Approximately 560,000 Hondurans, about 5% of the country’s population, live in the U.S. without legal status, according to U.S. government figures. Of those, migration experts estimate about 150,000 can be tracked down and rapidly expelled."
• "Jittery Mexico breaks up caravans, drops migrants in cartel-infested Acapulco ahead of Trump inauguration"--New York Post.
  
• "Homeless man, 69, seen on video stabbing thugs terrorizing him on NYC subway, killing 1, won’t face charges: DA"--New York Post. His attackers all appear to be Hispanic. You might be wondering how this guy wasn't charged when Danny Penny was put through the wringer. I don't know for sure, but it might have to do with this incident occurring in a different jurisdiction (Queens) from the old crone that went after Penny. 
• "Horrifying video shows moment feather-clad showgirl was knifed to death by lunatic on Vegas strip"--Daily Mail. The murder was in October 2022, but apparently the video was just released. The victim was white and the killer was from Guatemala. And this:

    Court documents exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com reveal that Barrios was charged in 2019 with criminal domestic violence by Los Angeles district attorney Jackie Lacey, who has since left office.

    Had he been convicted, Barrios would likely have been imprisoned and deported.

    Lacey failed to bring the case to court in time, and after 90 days elapsed the judge was forced to dismiss the case under California speedy trial laws, according to court records.

• Meanwhile, in Europe: 𝗡𝗶𝗼𝗵 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗴 ♛ ✡︎ on X: "This is a very important symptom of mass immigration: The gradual disappearance of women from crowded public spaces out of fear of harassment. People don't talk enough about this." Short video at the link. The crowd appears to mostly be Middle-Eastern men.
• "Almost 1,000 cars set ablaze during New Year celebrations in France"--Yahoo. You should appreciate the self-delusion of the opening line in the lede (bold added): "Despite nearly 1,000 cars being set ablaze, hundreds of thousands of people in France welcomed the New Year with largely peaceful celebrations, according to Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau."
• "The US Census Bureau is adding refugees to its immigrant count"--AP. Yet another group of non-citizens allowed to influence the allocation of representatives in Congress by being included in the census.
  
• "Analysis: Nearly 400K Anchor Babies Born in 2024, Exceeding Population of New Orleans"--Breitbart. The evil of the current practice of birth right citizenship.
• "Tesla More than Doubles H-1B Visa Workforce Imported to U.S."--Breitbart.

Tesla, led by Elon Musk, showed a significant increase in H-1B approved petitions, rising to 16th on the list of most approved H-1B petitions for initial employment in FY 2024 after not appearing in the top 25 among employers in previous years. Tesla had 742 approved H1B petitions for initial employment in FY 2024, more than double its total of 328 in FY 2023 and 337 in FY 2022. Tesla also had 1,025 H-1B petitions for continuing employment (primarily extensions for existing employees) approved in FY 2024. [Emphasis added]

But he can't fill all those jobs otherwise, right? Right? "Report: Elon Musk’s Tesla Replaced Laid Off Americans with Foreign Workers on H-1B Visas"--Breitbart.

• More: "H-1B: Indian Migrants Want Elon Musk to Help Them Win Green Cards"--Breitbart.The article reports: 

    The Indians have earned little sympathy in Congress because nearly all of them were imported by investors and their executives to take career-starting, mid-skill white-collar jobs that would otherwise have gone to young U.S. professionals.

    The Indians are allowed to take desirable careers from Americans because many U.S. employers use the H-1B, L-1, J-1, TN, OPT, CPT, and H4EAD programs to hire low-wage foreign graduates, mostly for entry-level jobs. Indians get roughly 70 percent of these visas.

• More: "Trump shocks MAGA by backing Elon Musk in 'civil war' over controversial immigration policy"--Daily Mail.
  
• More: "Elon Musk changes his tune on H1-B visas as he tries to cool raging MAGA civil war over skilled immigration"--New York Post. I'm not sure that I would used skilled--at least skilled at what they were hired to do. They are probably skilled in other matters:
• "Why India law against exam cheating may not work"--BBC.
• "Relatives scale buildings to help Indian students cheat on exams"--The Guardian.
• "How exam scandals threaten the future of India's young people"--BBC.
• "In India, 'cheating mafias' and 'coaching factories' thrive on students' thirst for success"--Le Monde.
  
• "Silicon Valley’s Open Secret: H-1B Visa Workers Paid 10% Less than American Counterparts"--Breitbart.
• Related: "Nicole Shanahan: H1-B Visas a ‘Massive’ Cheap Labor Boon for Big Tech"--Breitbart.
  
• "Some H-1B workers say they feel insulted by debate over visa holders"--NBC News. Key part: "Indians make up around 75% of all H-1B petitioners, outpacing the next highest group, Chinese workers, who make up less than 12%."
  
• Robert Sterling has a thread on the H-1B visa program you should check out because he digs into the statistics to get a view of how the program works.  But a couple points he makes:
• "To start with, this program is MASSIVELY popular with employers. The program has a statutory limit of 85,000 visas per year, but employers routinely receive approval for more than 800k applications per year (868k, or 10x the limit, in 2024)."
• "Almost all the prominent job categories are tech-related. The two top categories, for software developer roles, are 1.1M over five years by themselves."
• Although there are few American companies that are among the largest users of H-1B visas, that majority of the big users are "Indian companies that import H-1B tech workers en masse:

Cognizant (93k)
Infosys (61k)
Tata Consultancy Services (60k)
Wipro
Capgemini
HCL
Compunnel
Tech Mahindra
Mphasis

"These aren’t American companies that needed international talent to fill critical roles. They’re foreign companies that appear to have been founded to place overseas tech workers into US companies as contractors."

• And it is not just STEM jobs, but he notes a large number are used to fill accounting and finance jobs. 
• He concludes: "You can see where I’m going with this. A casual perusal of the data shows that this isn’t a program for the top 0.1% of talent, as it’s been described. This is simply a way to recruit hundreds of thousands of relatively lower-wage IT and financial services professionals."
  

• Instapundit linked to this post from X:

    Just got a dm from someone who works in recruiting at one of big tech companies. He said it's internal policy within the team he works for to reserve roles for what they call “outside talent”.

    They are not allowed to recruit Americans for these roles but must go through the motions of setting up interviews with Americans. He said he and his colleagues try to keep these calls short 10-15min or some of them just ghost the call completely.

    They then work with an international recruiting firm out of India to fill these roles.

    He said the purpose is budgetary in nature. Since they pay less to these H-1B hires they can keep talent costs low by allocating a certain amount of head count to these candidates.

    He also said that the “talent shortage” narrative is false. They get an overwhelming amount of qualified American candidates. They are just not allowed to hire them.

• The other problem with hiring these foreign tech workers is that their inherent tribalism winds up forcing Americans from companies, a concept neatly summarized in the following meme I came across at Vox Day's blog:

 

• Vox Day has a lengthy quote from an Apple Manager's 11-years experience as a hiring manager. An excerpt:

    When you are speaking with an Indian, you are not communicating. You are engaging in a choreographed dance where they are exclusively tasked with mirroring your moves, and leaving you to walk away thinking that your needs will be satisfied. And that is all that has happened. If you don’t know which follow-up questions to ask, you’ll have no idea that you’ve just been handled by an entity that understands how to “close,” but not how to deliver anything promised. The idea of the latter is never even part of the equation. Utterly alien minds to us.

    One of Britain’s greatest crimes was teaching them to speak with that hackneyed, goobledygook accent, because it simply fries the brains of most Americans. It is scamouflage for the fact that they will lie, lie, lie as easily as you or I draw breath. It’s indescribable. Thankfully, I became good enough at technical interviewing that a couple simple questions would break their lies wide open, & I could simply nope out in good conscience. After a while, a glance at such resumes told me how the conversations would go, optimizing away the rest.

    During this time, in other parts of SWE & IS&T, I watched as a couple Indian hires within 18 months turned into an almost wholesale replacement of any other race in the blighted departments. The degree of their apparently illegal hiring practices cannot be overstated. But of course, who is going to complain, and to whom? One of my last cross-functional meetings at the company, myself & one or two other guys from our org met with one of the terraformed orgs. There were 25 of them packed into a room for a meeting that required 5 people tops.

    Regardless of context, every American needs to understand that they will lie under any circumstances for any reason or no apparent reason whatsoever. It is “cultural,” so get over your Christendom-centric notions of morality; those exist nowhere else on Earth.

•  "Weaponized Migration Is More Destructive Than People Think"--The Organic Prepper. An excerpt:

    However, in recent years, there has been a growing recognition that migration can also be deliberately engineered as a tool of political coercion and destabilization.

    Under certain contexts, migration can be weaponized, functioning as a form of “slow violence” that inflicts widespread suffering and undermines the stability of states and societies.

    The concept of migration as a weapon of mass destruction may seem hyperbolic, but it is grounded in a growing body of evidence. The infiltration of criminal groups in the migration wave is one of the most blatant pieces of evidence.

    By systematically targeting civilian populations, undermining state institutions, and provoking social unrest, actors can exploit migration to achieve a spectrum of strategic objectives. These objectives may include territorial expansion, regime change, or distracting attention from domestic problems.

    This has been a behavioral pattern, and the free media and social networks continuously unmask it.

    We have in recent history two perfect examples: the displacement of Venezuelan migrants, resulting in turmoil in the streets under the government of President Duque (a known enemy of the Venezuelan regime) in 2017-2018. This chaos disappeared once the guerrilla chief Petro and his gang took over the Presidency.

    The same pattern was generated in Chile, with such unrest in the streets never seen in years, only to produce problems in the government of President Piñera (compared by the Venezuelan regime with Pinochet, a known dictator). Once again, as President Boric assumed office, all the turmoil ceased, and there has not been a serious demonstration ever since.

    Historically, forced migration has been used also as a tool for ethnic cleansing. In the case of the most recent regimes, the rogue States use it to expel opposition and enemies. The Colombian guerrilla expelled and displaced almost 5 million people only to use their territory as a sanctuary. The leftist ideology once exhibited by these groups lost all the “coating” they had. Their real purpose of existing is to serve as guardians of the humungous drug production business and the corresponding trafficking routes.

    Which can be considered an act of war.

• "Majority of employment growth since COVID-19 goes to immigrants, report finds"--Fox News. Key point: "Immigrant employment soared to 3.2 million since 2019 compared to U.S.-born employment, which rose to 917,000, as employment among Americans dipped narrowly in the past year, according to the Center for Immigration Studies." Here's a link to the report: "Most Employment Growth Since Pandemic Has Gone to Immigrants."
  
• "Mentally Ill Man Kills Postal Worker; Media Lies About His Gender"--PJ Media. You might remember this incident from the news: a postal worker had stopped at a New York deli, another person entered after him, the two got into an argument, and the other person stabbed the postal worker to death. 

The suspect in custody was initially reported as a 24-year-old woman named Jaia Cruz, but many sources have uncovered the truth: The suspect is actually a 24-year-old man named Alvin Cruz who claims to be a "transgender woman." However, the media seems intent on keeping up the charade. 

• More: "Knife-wielding transgender woman accused of killing NYC postal worker smiles, rolls eyes in creepy video"--New York Post.
• "Professor Blames Math’s ‘Rational Thought’ for Women’s STEM Struggles"--Toni Airaksinen. From the lede:

 A professor at the University of Delaware recently penned an academic article arguing that women’s sense of belonging in calculus classes is hurt by “rational thought” and “objective truth,” which the professor sees as masculine qualities.
