Every “global partnership” ends with fewer Americans on payroll.

When loyalty costs more than labor, corporations choose neither.

They didn’t innovate. They outsourced survival.
BRIEFING
Grant here. Unfortunately, the war on the American worker just picked up another casualty. Target, one of the country’s biggest retailers, announced it’s cutting 1,800 headquarters jobs while expanding operations in Bengaluru, India, in what they call their “extension of HQ.” Let’s break it down.
For years, corporations have hidden behind buzzwords like “filling skill gaps” and “driving innovation” to justify their use of the H-1B visa system. But everyone knows what’s really going on. It’s not innovation. It’s exploitation. They’re not filling gaps; they’re creating them by pushing out American workers and importing cheaper labor. Simple as that.
Target’s latest move is a textbook example. They gut their U.S. workforce, then brag about thousands of overseas hires “partnering closely” with Minneapolis. Translation: they replaced your neighbor with someone earning a third of their salary, and they expect applause for it.
This isn’t business efficiency. It’s betrayal wrapped in corporate PR.

They also have 4,000 employees in Bengaluru — their “extension of HQ.”

Now tying this back to the H1-B issue at hand. Of course, what's happening at Target is just another facet in the ongoing trend of American jobs going overseas, this time in corporate management.
But with the H-1B scandal, where we're really losing big on jobs is in the tech industry. A staggering 74% of approvals for the visa go to one specific country. You guessed it: India.
So while American graduates drown in debt, companies are proudly replacing them with imported talent that costs a fraction to employ.
SOURCE
73.7% of all H-1B approvals go to just one country.
This isn’t about “diversity” or “shortages.”
It’s about a pipeline.A pipeline of cheap, compliant labor feeding outsourcing firms….while sidelining American grads.
The system is rigged.

DEBRIEFING
The issue at hand here isn’t just about Target or a few lost jobs. It’s about an entire system built to quietly erase the American worker. For years, corporations have used the language of progress to disguise what’s really happening: the slow outsourcing of the American middle class.
This latest move from Target is just another blow on top of a gushing wound from the H1B visa scam. The program was supposed to bring in highly skilled specialists. Instead, it became a loophole for cheap labor that undercuts U.S. employees and drains the job market from the inside.
And it’s not just about money. It’s about loyalty. The corporations that built their brands on the backs of American workers now see them as expendable.
The message is clear: if you cost too much, you’re replaceable. If you complain, you’re outdated.
NOW YOU KNOW
It’s not a labor shortage. It’s a loyalty shortage.

Target can do whatever they want. Including going bankrupt.
i dont disagree, however, H!N! is regulated by the state dept. I used to work for a very large east coast co. and they hired H1N1 that had specific attributes in PC programing, software programming, and bilingual. The majority of total employees where US citizens.
It doesn’t matter to me what Target does. Haven’t been in Target since their executives decreed that it was okay for men to use the women’s rest room. Then of course was there marketing of rainbow toys for children.
I haven’t been in a Target store since they changed their bathroom policy. If everyone had done likewise, you wouldn’t be seeing this, now.
same here…then within the last two years, bi clothing for under 6 year olds

I’m a person who retired at age 60 because the American Fortune 250 company I worked for had built a ‘campus’ in Hyderabad, India and moved 1600 jobs there. An Indian I knew who had been here for 10 years considered moving back to be near his family. Then he saw the pay and stayed here. I was literally replaced with a team of 3.
