Issue 1 – Jobs
Give up they say
But I smell blood in the water and a chance for Texans to have a say about good paying jobs.
The problem is, will you vote for good paying jobs, or yesterdays trash?
Sen. John Cornyn is anathema to many Republican primary voters. Ken Paxton, a state attorney general, may be too tarred by scandal to win a general election.
Ten months out, the Texas Senate primary is shaping up as the GOP trainwreck of the 2026 election cycle, a cash-burning demolition derby that threatens to fracture the party, force the White House to intervene and perhaps even put an otherwise safe seat at risk in November.
I know what it is like to beg for help getting a job and being thrown under the bus by your political representative.
From 1975 till March 2003, I NEVER had a problem finding better than average paying work.
Since then I have struggled to find work.
It seems I am deemed overqualified.
At the lowest point in my life when I was considering giving up after having gone 5 years without a job, I finally got offered one washing dishes at the local VA hospital.
Problem is, they wouldn’t hire me without having a payment arrangement with child support and the IRS.
So I wrote Senator Cornyns office and this was his response.
Needless to say I didn’t get the job, and it was another year before I finally found work.
I bring this up now so that you will understand that I understand your pain because I have heard from many individuals where he put the H-1B workers ahead of the Texans he is supposed to represent.
It will give me great pleasure to use Trumps favorite expression of “You’re Fired!”
Thanks to Governor Abbott, and Senator Cornyn and their Howdy Modi Parties, look what India has in store for you.
Keep in mind when reading this that we create 2 million jobs per year.
Period.
Right now, as U.S.-India talks on bilateral trades continue, India has launched a government-backed plan to send 2 to 2.5 MILLION Indian “guest workers” to America EVERY YEAR and they want to keep expanding.
Their goal is clear: permanent access to American jobs, $300 BILLION in annual remittances sent home, and special visas with NO CAPS, only for India.
Indian leaders say to “ignore the noise” about immigration.
Their strategy is to use economic talking points to override politics, push for special deals through bilateral trade negotiations, and rely on policy insiders to ram through uncapped migration just for Indian nationals.
Is this why the whole debate went dark in January?
Is this why the whole debate went dark in January?
Suddenly, the advocates like Vivek, Elon, the White House, everybody went silent.
We didn’t see any US CEO’s talking about it, that’s for sure.
DON’T SAY INDIA!

India’s Sunil Bharti Mittal tells the U.S. CEOs not to make the H-1B Visa and outsourcing debate “an India debate”… then brags IBM sent a $1.1B contract to India, says U.S. MNCs are setting up shop in India to hire more Indians, and demands unrestricted H-1B visas and “free movement” of workers. He downplays Americans’ fear of job loss, calls it “palpable”, but insists India is best positioned to supply the 17M IT workers the U.S. will need. This is a full-blown foreign strategy, extract contracts, offshore jobs, flood the U.S. labor pool, and silence opposition with talking points about “skills” and “competitiveness.”
Governore Abbott, how many state contracts is cognizant working on, and getting paid with taxpayer money?
On October 4, 2024, a California federal jury found Cognizant Technology Solutions engaged in a pattern or practice of intentional discrimination against a class of non-South Asian and non-Indian employees. Cognizant is a U.S.-based multinational IT consulting company and one of the country’s top users of the H-1B (specialty occupation) visa.
The lawsuit was initially filed in 2017 by three United States citizens who identify as “Caucasian.” The jury concluded that Cognizant engaged in a “pattern or practice” of discrimination, favoring South Asians and Indian nationals, particularly those with visas.
Specifically, the jury concluded, based on statistical evidence presented at trial, that Cognizant engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination by terminating non-Indian and non-South Asian employees at a much higher rate than its other employees (8.4 times more likely). Cognizant’s internal “benching” process requires employees to wait on standby (on the “bench”) after completion of a task or project if there is not another project immediately available for them to work on. If the employee remains “benched” for five weeks, i.e., is not staffed on a new task or project within that timeframe, Cognizant terminates the employee.
The jury found that Cognizant favored Indian and South Asian employees by staffing these employees on new projects, leaving other employees “benched” and subject to termination. The plaintiffs alleged that Cognizant had particularly favored Indian and South Asian employees for whom it sponsored H-1B visas.
When it comes to jobs, where there is smoke, there is fire.
A $96 Million Hindu Temple Opens Amid Accusations of Forced Labor
The temple in Robbinsville, N.J., about 15 years in the making, is believed to be the largest in the Western Hemisphere. But its construction has also been clouded in controversy.
It has also been clouded in controversy.
Federal law enforcement agents raided the temple construction site in 2021 after workers accused the builders, a prominent Hindu sect with ties to Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India and his ruling party, of forced labor, low wages and poor working conditions. Their lawyers said workers who were Dalit, the lowest rung in India’s caste system, were specifically targeted. A federal criminal investigation is ongoing, as is a wage claim lawsuit.

I’ve heard they imported the workers from India which means it did no good for American workers, and that these dalits were paid $1.20 per hour for years.
Seems the DOL is lax when it comes to making sure minimum wage laws are upheld, doesn’t it?
