Riots exploded in Los Angeles over the weekend, and President Donald Trump ordered National Guard troops in to quell the violence.
Multiple Democrat activists and radicals immediately jumped to defend the community of migrants, including criminal illegal aliens, from the federal plan to enforce the law.
Unfair, they claimed, to bring officers against immigrants over their illegal status.
But that wasn't it at all.
Border czar Tom Homan, assigned by Trump to crack down on illegal immigrants and crime, and to close the border left wide open during Joe Biden's tenure, explained the real target was real criminals.
"It wasn't an immigration raid," Homan explained. "It was to service of three criminal warrants at locations based on a large criminal conspiracy that ICE is investigating."
He said the raids in Los Angeles were needed because of a criminal investigation into money laundering and cartel activity.
The Daily Mail described the result: "Chaos erupted after protesters clashed with immigration officials across downtown Los Angeles, leading to three days of violence. Looters targeted businesses across the city amid the demonstrations, which saw cars torched and security forces firing tear gas at rioters."
With local authorities unable or unwilling to bring things under control, and media saying it was just a bunch of people have a good time watching cars burn, the White House took action.
Donald Trump pointed out the rioters are not "peaceful protesters" as leftists in the state claimed.
Instead, they are "troublemakers and insurrectionists."
"That's why no one is talking about the Fashion District, it wasn't an immigration raid. It was to service of three criminal warrants at locations based on a large criminal conspiracy that ICE is investigating." Homan said.
"That has to do with money laundering, tax evasion and customs fraud where a company under-declared over $80 million in goods, failed to pay $17 million in fees. And it's part of an overall conspiracy on numerous businesses that they believe that some of this money is being laundered in Mexico and Colombia, the cartel activity."
Arrests were not based on an illegal status for immigrants, he said, but on warrants in a criminal investigation.
One of the biggest protesters against enforcing the law was California Gavin Newsom, who appeared in interviews belligerent, demanding that Trump cancel his order for troops.
Trump then expressed his support for the idea of Homan arresting Newsom.
He made the comments after arriving at the White HJouse.
Fox News reported its reporter, Peter Doocy, asked Trump whether he though Homan should take up Newsom's challenge.
The Democrat governor had said, "The President of the United States just called for the arrest of a sitting Governor. This is a day I hoped I would never see in America. I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican this is a line we cannot cross as a nation — this is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism."
"What we discussed was for those protesters that crossed the line… you can protest, you get your First Amendment rights… But when you cross that line, you put hands on an ICE officer, or you destroy property, or I'd say that you impede law enforcement, or you're knowingly harboring and concealing an illegal alien… that's a crime, and the Trump administration is not going to tolerate it," Homan said.
Homan did confirm there was no discussion of arresting Newsom.
Trump confirmed, "I would do it if I were Tom. I think it's great. Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing."
Trump pointed out he actually likes Newsom: "He's a nice guy, but he's grossly incompetent. Everybody knows. All you have to do is look at the little railroad he's building. It's about 100 times over budget."
Trump also described the rioters: "The people that are causing the problem are professional agitators. They're insurrectionists, they're bad people. They should be in jail."

For the past year, American tech workers have been told a familiar story: Artificial intelligence is replacing jobs. From boardrooms to press briefings, executives have framed workforce reductions as the inevitable result of machine learning and automation. It's the narrative that's guided mass layoffs across the industry.
But in the case of Salesforce, one of the most prominent voices in enterprise software, the facts point elsewhere.
Behind the company's public claims of AI-driven efficiency lies a more traditional and far more controversial strategy: offshoring. Between 2020 and 2024, Salesforce reduced its U.S. workforce by thousands while growing its employee base in India by more than 420%. Offices in San Francisco, Portland and other U.S. hubs were shuttered. Simultaneously, the company signed formal training and hiring agreements with the Indian government and celebrated explosive growth in Hyderabad, Mumbai and beyond.
Salesforce isn't alone in the illusion of automation. Amazon's heavily hyped "Just Walk Out" AI-powered checkout was, in truth, driven by over 1,000 workers in India manually reviewing surveillance footage. What was marketed as innovation was really offshore labor behind the scenes. Likewise, Microsoft's investment in a virtual assistant "Natasha" turned out to be 700 Indian employees posing as chatbots.
These weren't breakthroughs in AI; they were high-tech facades for cheap labor.
2022–2023: Strategic cuts in the U.S., accelerated hiring abroad
These weren't isolated missteps. The pattern is clear, with companies using the language of "AI innovation" to mask what amounts to global labor arbitrage. Behind the curtain of automation lies a deliberate strategy to cut costs by cutting Americans out of the workforce – and Salesforce fits the mold.
Salesforce's labor realignment began in 2022, hitting U.S. recruitment teams following hiring freezes and small cuts to corporate operations. But while American jobs were disappearing, Salesforce was announcing plans to add 2,500 new roles in India, a 33% workforce increase.
In January 2023, Salesforce initiated its most sweeping cost-cutting measure to date, the termination of approximately 7,000 employees, or 10% of its global workforce. CEO Marc Benioff attributed the layoffs to pandemic-era growth that had outpaced demand. Public messaging emphasized a return to operational discipline.
But the company's own filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission offered a different, more pointed explanation.
According to Salesforce's 10-K filing for 2024:
"In January 2023, we announced a restructuring plan … intended to reduce operating costs, improve operating margins and continue advancing our ongoing commitment to profitable growth. The Restructuring Plan includes a reduction of our workforce and select real estate exits and office space reductions within certain markets."
India becomes the growth engine
What emerged next underscored the stark imbalance in Salesforce's global strategy. While the company was in the process of laying off thousands of U.S. employees and scaling back its real estate footprint to achieve $3-5 billion in cost reductions, it was simultaneously accelerating its investments in India. The contradiction was laid bare in a report from the Times of India, which noted:
"At a time when CRM giant Salesforce has been slashing jobs and cutting down on its real estate footprint globally in a bid to prune costs by $3-5 billion, it is beefing up its India presence with a chunk of it happening in Hyderabad."
Arundhati Bhattacharya, chairperson and CEO of Salesforce India, publicly confirmed the shift in focus: "When I joined Salesforce in 2020, we had 2,500 employees. Today, we have more than 13,000. This growth reflects the company's increasing reliance on India for leadership and talent."
Even amid internal cost-cutting, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, speaking at a Dreamforce 2024 conference, said, "There is no question that we are moving into an exciting era for India. We have invested aggressively in the country."
Institutionalizing offshoring: a formal pipeline into India
In September 2023, Salesforce formalized its offshore expansion by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with India's All India Council for Technical Education, or AICTE. The agreement established a nationwide initiative to embed Salesforce's Trailhead platform into more than 2,500 Indian engineering colleges. The stated goal was to train 1 million Indian students and create 500,000 direct job placements across Salesforce's ecosystem.
2025: Artificial Intelligence becomes the public rationale
In February 2025, Salesforce conducted yet another wave of layoffs, this time affecting over 1,000 employees and reassigning an additional 500. The company attributed the cuts to "productivity gains" enabled by artificial intelligence, asserting that automation, not offshoring or cost-cutting, had made certain roles obsolete. The layoffs were projected to save the company $50 million.
Public messaging emphasized a forward-looking transition into an AI-driven era. Salesforce claimed it would be hiring fewer software engineers going forward, citing reduced demand due to automation technologies.
"We have reduced some of our hiring needs," said Chief Financial and Operations Officer Robin Washington during a call with analysts. According to Bloomberg, she credited the adoption of AI tools as the primary reason for slowing down recruitment, especially in engineering and customer service roles.
Once again, while Salesforce is telling the American public that artificial intelligence is eliminating jobs and reducing the need for new hiring, especially among engineers and service roles, in a presentation titled The Salesforce Economy: India Powered by AI Cloud Solutions, Salesforce tells a very different story.
In the U.S., AI is the reason for layoffs. But in India, AI is the reason for record job creation.
The real transformation was geographic, not technological
While offshoring gets rebranded as "innovation," and layoffs are justified under the banner of "efficiency," Salesforce boldly claims that artificial intelligence saved the company $50 million. However, that savings didn't come from cutting-edge automation, but rather, from eliminating U.S. jobs and shifting the work overseas. Prospective customers, clients, stockholders and investors are being sold a fantasy of automation, when in reality, it's labor arbitrage dressed up in buzzwords.
Salesforce's public claims of $50 million in "AI-driven" cost savings isn't just a bold claim. It conveniently markets its own products while signaling to investors that its software, specifically its "Agentforce" AI platform, is slashing operating expenses. In its white paper, "Maximizing ROI with Agentic AI: Why Agentforce Is the Fast Path to Enterprise Value," Salesforce projects that agent-based AI will automate $6 trillion worth of global labor tasks, explicitly stating that such tools "free up human agents" and promise faster ROI through "reduced operational costs."
While Salesforce tells American workers their jobs are being eliminated due to AI, in India it promises massive job creation, projecting over 2.7 million new roles by 2028 tied directly to its AI cloud platform. That's not automation, it's offshoring. Like Amazon's "Just Walk Out" high tech "AI" stores, quietly powered by more than 1,000 workers in India, and like Microsoft's "AI" investment in chatbot "Natasha," staffed by 700 Indian workers behind the scenes, Salesforce is following the same script. Their "AI" isn't automation, but outsourcing for cheaper labor overseas – that's the real dynamic behind all their cost-cutting headlines.
This kind of illusion may also cross legal lines. Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, publicly traded companies are required to truthfully disclose material risks, operational changes and forward-looking statements. Attributing layoffs and future hiring slowdowns to AI, while telling a foreign government the same technology will create millions of new jobs, may mislead shareholders about the company's actual labor strategy.
Innovation or extraction?
So which is it, Salesforce?
Does the company no longer need American workers because of automation? Or is AI simply cheaper because it's being built in India under government contracts and lower wage structures? Or are those "millions of jobs" promised inside India not actually needed, which would mean the company's AI hiring pledges are either inflated or unsustainable?
The contradictions raise serious questions. But one fact is undeniable: When Americans invest in Salesforce, they're investing in a company that itself no longer invests in the country that built it. America still drives more than 67% of Salesforce's revenue, yet it's India where the company is concentrating its future workforce.
That's not innovation, it's extraction. And it's something Salesforce should be disclosing.
So while the company may be selling a global narrative of digital transformation, it's actually selling out American workers.
It appears that, at least for Salesforce, "AI" doesn't stand for "Artificial Intelligence" as much as it stands for "Actually India."

SpaceX billionaire Elon Musk, who has been working for months now with President Donald Trump in the Department of Government Efficiency to eliminate criminal activity, fraud, waste and corruption from the government, unleashed what amounts to a nuclear bomb in his battle with Trump now.
The two have had a falling out over the congressional plan to implement some of President Trump's agenda points: cutting some spending, making tax cuts permanent and such. Musk appears to want much bigger spending cuts while Trump is faced with the reality of a Congress where he has only a slim majority in the House, and split factions among the GOP members.
Musk recently left his role as a special government employee working with DOGE, which reports having found some $170 billion in waste that has been cut.
Trump said he asked Musk to leave, and suggested cutting government contracts with Musk, such as for use of the SpaceX ships to reach space; Musk responded with a threat to decommission SpaceX ships so they would not be available for the government.
Then Musk unleashed his big shot.
"Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files," he said.
Jeffrey Epstein, dead by apparent suicide several years ago while in jail awaiting further sex crime charges, reportedly had connections to some of the biggest names in America, including Bill Clinton, who traveled to Epstein's island, and Bill Gates.
Musk offered no evidence for his claim. But he called for Trump to be impeached.
But a report from Fortune said the two now are engaged "in a mud-slinging battle online."
Trump said he was very disappointed in Musk, and Musk claimed Trump would have lost the 2024 election without him.
The report said Trump is mentioned in Jeffrey Epstein's flight logs and the two men were photographed together, Trump long ago distanced himself from Epstein.
"So it's unclear what Musk is accusing Trump of, exactly. Fortune has reached out to Musk for more information. It's worth noting that Musk himself was also photographed with Ghislaine Maxwell, who in 2021 was found guilty of child sex trafficking, among other offenses, in connection with Epstein," the report said.
The Department of Justice is working on reviewing and releasing information about Epstein that the government holds, but many are unhappy it's not happening faster.
The back-and-forth began when Musk criticized the pending implementation of Trump's campaign promises, and Trump point out it cuts off $7,500 electric-vehicle subsidies from which the Musk-owned Tesla has benefited for years.
The two often have been compatriots, and enemies, consecutively. Musk was on two of Trump's advisory councils during his first term, but later stepped down. They also were at odds off and on in 2022 in social media.
Analysts have said both men could ramp up their dispute even further.

Prosecutors in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, filed charges against a pro-life family, the Knotts, for explaining their pro-life views outside an abortion business.
They kept up the case, which essentially attacked the family members for their words, for months.
Then when the trial was scheduled, they "folded" and gave up the "wrongful criminal charges entirely."
Now, on behalf of the family, the American Center for Law and Justice is fighting back with a lawsuit against the city over its First Amendment violations.
"The arrest, prosecution, and ongoing threat of future enforcement have already achieved the government's apparent goal: silencing disfavored speech," the legal team explained about the prosecution. "This case exemplifies why the ACLJ exists: to defend the constitutional rights of Americans against government overreach and discrimination. We refuse to allow local officials to use vague ordinances as weapons against unpopular speech, and we will not stand by while religious and pro-life voices are silenced through selective enforcement."
The organization pointed out, "The First Amendment doesn't guarantee freedom from annoyance or inconvenience – it guarantees freedom of speech, especially for unpopular viewpoints that challenge the status quo. When government officials start deciding which messages deserve protection based on their own preferences, we're all at risk."
Being sought in the legal filing is a declaration that the ordinance manipulated by the city to charge the family is unconstitutional, an injunction ending its use, compensation for the constitutional infringements, return of the family's megaphone that police confiscated and more.
"This case is part of a larger assault on religious freedom and pro-life speech across America. From college campuses to city sidewalks, government officials are increasingly willing to silence religious viewpoints while protecting secular ones," the ACLJ explained. "The Supreme Court of the United States has repeatedly affirmed that the First Amendment does not permit the government to make such distinctions. In Reed v. Town of Gilbert, the Court emphasized that content-based restrictions on speech are presumptively unconstitutional. In Rosenberger v. University of Virginia, the Supreme Court held that viewpoint discrimination is an 'egregious form of content discrimination.'"
The ACLJ explained this case:
What happened to the Knotts family in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, represents a textbook case of viewpoint discrimination – an egregious violation of the First Amendment. The shocking details of their treatment reveal a deliberate pattern of government censorship based solely on the content of their pro-life message.
On December 28, 2024, the Knotts traveled to the Northeast Ohio Women's Center, an abortion clinic, to peacefully exercise their First Amendment rights, engaging in sidewalk evangelism and pro-life advocacy. What happened next exposed a troubling pattern of government officials weaponizing local ordinances to silence religious and pro-life speech.
Zack used a battery-powered megaphone – quieter than ambient traffic noise – to share his life-affirming message from a public sidewalk. Meanwhile, abortion clinic escorts actively worked to drown out his speech using their own sound devices, including whistles and kazoos, while making threats against the couple.
One escort even told Zack to "suck-start a shotgun." During a previous encounter, Zack had told escorts how his mother-in-law had considered an abortion while pregnant with his now wife, and if she had gone through with it, his wife "should be dead." An escort interrupted, stating, "We can fix that."
Despite this harassment and the escorts' use of the same types of sound devices prohibited by the city's noise ordinance, only Zack was arrested and cited.
However, among the multitude of problems is that the "complaint" that triggered Zack's arrest mentioned only the pro-life speech, not the abortion kazoos and whistles and noise from the escorts.
Further the arresting officers never witnessed Zack using a megaphone, and they took a statement only from "Officer Oldham," who actually was working for the abortion business in security at the time, an "obvious conflict of interest."
And the threats made by the escorts never were prosecuted.
The fault rests with the city's ordinance, the report said, as it "prohibits amplified sound that might cause 'inconvenience or annoyance to persons of ordinary sensibilities.'"
That's "vague language that invites arbitrary enforcement," the ACLJ said.
Then there are the law's exemptions, which are biased. For example, it exempts amplified sound from "educational organizations and charitable organizations."
The lawsuit, on behalf of Zachary and Lindsey Knotts in U.S. district court in Ohio, charges it is unconstitutional for creating a two-tiered system of speech rights, is so vague as to leave in doubt its validity, and leaves total discretion to cops deciding what they don't like.
Also, it establishes a discrimination against certain viewpoints.

The Miss America Organization and a related operation, the Miss Florida Scholarship Program, have been accused of failing to live up to an oral contract, misstating science and ignoring state law in their pro-LGBT ideology.
The dispute erupted because the organizations entered into an oral agreement with Kayleigh Bush when she won the Miss North Florida title, "where there had been no mention or public-facing materials put forth by the organization indicating they subscribed to this 'false' definition of 'female,'" then submitted a paper contract for her to sign that violates her faith and defies science and the law.
In fact, according to the science, being male or female is embedded in the human body to the DNA level, and does not change.
The report is according to Liberty Counsel, which twice has asked the organizations to alter their contract, and twice has been refused.
Mat Staver, Liberty Counsel chief, said, "We commend Kayleigh Bush for taking a stand and refusing to sign the Miss America Organization's contract that is infused with false gender ideology. A contract that defines 'female' to include boys 14-18 who have been medically castrated is an abandonment of reality and an endorsement of harming children. Kayleigh Bush should have her crown restored and these types of reprehensible contracts must be stopped."
The pageant corporations were told by Liberty Counsel, "Miss Florida, Inc. is in apparent breach of its oral agreement with [Bush], over terms that are void under Florida law and public policy."
The letter states the MAO contract "contradicts Florida's legal definition of 'sex', which classifies people as 'either male or female' based on the human body's 'specific reproductive role,' including 'sex chromosomes, naturally occurring sex hormones, and internal and external genitalia present at birth.'"
Further, Liberty Counsel explained, the contract's definition of "female" "ignores current, enforceable Florida law prohibiting sterilization and castration of minors under the guise of 'sex-reassignment prescriptions or procedures.'"
"A contract which violates a provision of the Florida Constitution or a Florida statute is void and illegal, and will not be enforced in Florida courts," the legal team told the corporations.
The report notes Attorney General Pam Bondi released only days ago a "scathing memorandum" criticizing the "'barbaric practice' of chemically castrating and surgically mutilating children."
That aligns with President Donald Trump's January executive order that withdraws all federal funding for puberty blockers, hormones, or irreversible mutilating surgeries for minors, and directs rigorous enforcement of all laws to protect children from these destructive and life-altering procedures, the report said.
Transgender ideologies are "junk science," Bondi confirmed.
Confronted with the transgender ideology is a pageant contract, which wildly insists that "castrated males" are, in fact, "females," Bush refused to sign, and the corporations then stripped her of her title.
In fact, "The contract requires female beauty candidates to agree to compete against biological males – who have been subjected to medical mutilation as minor boys – and agree that these mutilated males are 'female,'" the report said.
The legal team also pointed out such requirements were not in the oral agreement, and a pageant participant "would not expect to be presented with an overtly false definition of 'female' after otherwise performing all other conditions to the oral agreement."

An obstetrician and gynecologist has confirmed in testimony to the U.S. Senate that the figure for the miscarriage deaths following COVID-19 shots, demanded by Biden administration officials for pregnant women, "mirrors the effects of chemical abort drugs."
The stunning news of the threat from the drugs pushed by Joe Biden onto the American public during the China virus pandemic came from Dr. James Thorp, who delivered a "haunting" moment in testimony to the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs.
Thorp explained that women vaccinated during their first trimester suffered an 82% miscarriage rate.
He said, too, that the government knew what it was doing.
He cited an "infamous" Shimabukuro study from the New England Journal of Medicine that claimed a 12.6% miscarriage rate.
"But when you isolate the data for women vaccinated in the first trimester, the miscarriage rate rises to 82%, Dr. Thorp said. This 82% claim remains a topic of debate within the scientific community. If true, 'This figure mirrors the effects of chemical abort drugs,' Dr. Thorp lamented," reports confirmed.
The forced delivery of COVID shots to tens of millions of Americans was never without serious questions and controversy. It was even more so on the concept of requiring pregnant women to take the chemical treatments.
A report at the Western Journal explained Thorp's testimony came just weeks ago.
"This deception was institutionalized in the now-infamous Shimabukuro study published on April 21, 2021, in the digital version of the New England Journal of Medicine," a transcript shows he said.
"The authors claimed a miscarriage rate of 12.6%, but the raw data revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in women vaccinated during the first trimester. These figures mirror the effects of chemical abortion drugs such as RU-486."
The RU-486 chemicals, in fact, are the ones intended to destroy an unborn child's life.
Thorp also pinpointed the demands from Rochelle Walensky, who at the time headed Joe Biden's Centers for Disease Control, who wanted to "coerce pregnant women into taking" the chemicals.
"It is difficult to conceive of a more egregious breach of medical ethics by the government-controlled, medical-industrial complex than the systematic promotion of COVID-19 vaccination to pregnant women. This campaign was not accidental. It was calculated," he charged.
The Biden administration targeted pregnant women, he explained, because they are "the primary decision-makers in healthcare across the human lifespan" and also are "the most vulnerable patients."
"If they could be convinced that the vaccination was safe and effective, it would imply that it was safe and effective for everyone," Thorp charged.
Biden administration officials, he said, wanted to be "manipulating public perception through influence, fear, and persuasion" in ways that would provide coercion to the public to take the shots.
"The federal government outsourced much of this psychological operation to NGOs, which disseminated emotionally charged and misleading messaging. These entities falsely assured pregnant women that the vaccines were proven safe and essential for maternal, fetal, and newborn health, even though early evidence indicated quite the opposite."
He said Walensky and others "made statements that were false. They made statements that were fear-mongering, insinuating that pregnant women, if they didn't take the vaccine, would put their lives in harm, their preborn lives in harm, and their newborn lives in harm, when they knew absolutely the opposite was true."
Ironically, following Walensky's assurances that the COVID shots would protect people, she took them and got COVID.
But she was constantly a voice describing the safety and effectiveness of the shots that were so lucrative for their manufacturers at that time.
Walensky assured over and over the American public of the safety of the shots.
She repeatedly advocated that "pregnant people" take the chemicals.
Thorp also cited a separate study that revealed the COVID shots as among the "deadliest and most injurious" ever, with more than 42,000 injuries and 1,223 deaths.

Once again, Indian media have set their sights on an American citizen, this time a veteran who's been directly harmed by the broken H-1B system, for nothing more than exercising his First Amendment rights. The article published by M9 News, "Legal H1B Tweaks Could Shake Indian Economy,", isn't journalism; it's foreign gaslighting. The piece mocks the voice of an American patriot, Virgil Bierschwale, for daring to say what millions of displaced Americans know to be true: our immigration system is broken, rigged and ruthlessly exploited.
Nowhere in the article is there any acknowledgment of Bierschwale's service to this country, his sacrifice, or his relentless efforts to inform and empower Americans through his work and his website Guest Worker Visas, Instead, the authors trivialize his candidacy for U.S. Senate, paint him as irrelevant and attempt to silence his warnings simply because he is not a sitting politician. This is not a minor oversight. It's a deliberate omission, a calculated attempt to erase the voice of a veteran who continues to fight for his fellow citizens long after his military service.
Rather than engage with the substance of his arguments or confront the economic devastation wrought by the H-1B visa pipeline, the article reduces Bierschwale to a failed candidate, as if only the politically connected or corporate elites have the right to speak on behalf of Americans. The Indian media's message is clear: Americans should be ashamed to defend their own jobs, while foreign interests are free to demand whatever serves them, no matter the cost to the people who built this nation.
This article says more about India than it does about Virgil
"For many Indian professionals, the American dream wasn't meant to be stalled at every turn…caught in a system that seems more focused on paperwork than on people."
The ongoing narrative that the American dream is somehow being "stalled" for Indian professionals by paperwork and procedural requirements is a glaring misdirection, one that conveniently ignores the devastation the H-1B system and offshoring have inflicted on millions of Americans. The real imbalance isn't bureaucratic red tape; it's the decades-long displacement of American workers, the shuttering of careers and the hollowing out of entire industries as jobs are systematically funneled overseas or handed to foreign visa holders.
What these complaints about "paperwork" truly reveal is a frustration that America is finally, albeit slowly, demanding basic protections for its own citizens. These regulations exist for a reason: to protect American workers from exploitation, discrimination and the relentless march of corporate interests willing to replace them at the lowest cost. When Indian media and their advocates bemoan paperwork as an obstacle, what they are really lamenting is that it is becoming harder to game the system and bypass the very safeguards designed to keep America's workforce strong.
Indian professionals, or any foreign nationals for that matter, are not entitled to American jobs and they are not entitled to a shortcut around the laws and procedures established by this country. Every form, every process, every layer of oversight is there because of the very real harm inflicted on American families, harm that never seems to warrant a single sentence in these foreign editorials.
For the millions of Americans who have been laid off, sidelined, or forced to train their own foreign replacements, paperwork is the last line of defense. Their livelihoods, not the minor inconveniences of well-paid guest workers, should be the priority in every immigration and employment debate. If the system is finally asking tougher questions and demanding more scrutiny, it's a sign that America is waking up and that is exactly what those who have profited from our complacency now fear most.
America's policies should serve its own people first. The sense of "disconnection" that foreign media laments is not the result of unfair paperwork, but the long-overdue insistence that American jobs are for American workers and no amount of foreign lobbying or manufactured outrage will ever change that fundamental right.
"The issue at hand goes beyond just visas. It's about who gets to shape the narrative around talent, opportunity and economic exchange. When voices like his start to take the lead, it becomes more than just policy—it becomes personal."
It's telling that Indian media insists the H-1B debate is about "who gets to shape the narrative around talent, opportunity and economic exchange" as if Americans, in their own country, are somehow out of line for demanding a say in their own future. The reality is, for years, only one side has shaped this narrative: foreign governments, offshore lobbyists and global corporations eager to profit from cheap labor, all while sidelining the voices of displaced American workers.
When an American like Virgil Bierschwale, who has actually felt the pain of these policies, dares to speak up, suddenly the discussion is "personal" and the foreign media establishment scrambles to silence him. The hypocrisy is staggering. Indian officials and business leaders have had a megaphone in Washington for decades, openly lobbying for more access to U.S. jobs and more favorable policies, never once apologizing for putting their own interests first. But when an American patriot does the same for his own people, that's portrayed as out of bounds.
Let's be clear: Americans not only have the right, but the obligation, to shape the policies and the narrative that affect their country's future. If that makes things "personal," it's because the economic survival of millions of American families is personal. The real injustice is that it ever took this long for their voices to finally lead the conversation.
America belongs to Americans. No amount of foreign lobbying, media spin, or elite hand-wringing will ever change that. If Indian officials and their media surrogates insist on shaping U.S. policy, they should at least admit that Americans have every right and every reason to demand that their government put its people first.
As Virgil himself told me after reading the article: "Never once did they mention I wrote that tweet because Americans are being discriminated against in America by Indians living in America and managing American businesses."
That is the real story here and it's one Americans will never be ashamed for telling.

Initial injunction 'unilaterally disarms the United States' but now is on hold
In order to "avoid the irreparable national security and economic harms" being threatened by a federal appeals court ruling, the Trump administration suggested it would appeal to the Supreme Court on an emergency basis the decision overturning most of the president's tariff plans if needed.
A three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of International Trade has claimed, in its permanent injunction, that the tariff plans President Donald Trump has announced for China, Mexico, Canada and many more nations aren't valid.
Trump has been using tariff policies to push foreign nations into negotiating trade deals that are fair for American businesses and consumers. Over the past, many tariff agendas have had American consumers paying more and American businesses getting less than their overseas counterparts.
The case moved immediately to an appeals court, where the lower panel's decision was stayed for now, and Department of Justice lawyer Sosun Bae said it was damaging, as being "unprecedented and legally indefensible."
He warned, in fact, it could damage or destroy many of the trade deals and negotiations already underway.
The DOJ explained, "The injunction unilaterally disarms the United States. The political branches, not courts, make foreign policy and chart economic policy."
The move is just one of dozens taken by federal courts since Trump took office for his second term in which they have taken over the decision-making process of the executive branch on issues ranging from the deportation of illegal alien criminals to economic policy to the hiring and firing of executive branch staff members.
According to a report in the Washington Examiner, the Trump administration signaled it would ask the Supreme Court to intervene on an emergency basis until the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit acts immediately, which it did.
Bae warned, "The judicial coup is out of control."
Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro said in the report the court's decision reeks of "globalist" bias and he charged the judges with favoring importers.
The judges on the panel were Jane Restani, Timothy Reif and Gary Katzmann.
They claimed Trump's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs exceeded presidential authority.
But, the report explained, "On page 35 of the decision, the judges noted that the administration would have been within its rights to impose the sweeping tariffs if it had relied on Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974."
Analysts, however, pointed out that provides only "150 days" of implementation.
Trump's goal always has been a longer term solution for the economic imbalance now embedded in the world economy.
Fox News said in a separate report that another judge ruled in favor of a Chicago company by blocking five specific orders from the president regarding tariffs on China.
It was Rudolph Contreras, the Chicago judge, who said the International Economic Emergency Economic Powers Act doesn't authorize the president to impose the tariffs involved in the dispute.
The ruling was suspended for two weeks, also to allow for an appeal.
Trump announced a long list of tariffs in April, including a baseline 10% tariff for all countries.
Rick Woldenberg is chief of Learning Resources, the company that brought the Chicago dispute. He claimed its $2.3 million tariff bill for 2024 would jump to $100.2 million in 2025.
Administrative officials have argued unelected judges do not have the authority to decide how to properly address a national emergency.

Who exactly is the person who controlled the use of Joe Biden's presidential autopen?
According to David Sacks, President Donald Trump's crypto and artificial intelligence czar, it was actually Democrat U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts who ran the electronic signature device.
"SHHH DON'T TELL JOE!" said Jesse Watters of Fox News after Sacks spilled the beans on his "Primetime" show Tuesday night.
"David Sacks just said POCAHONTAS had the AUTOPEN and wasn't afraid to use it!"
Sacks claimed Warren ran the autopen due to her "pathological hatred of the crypto community."
"This is the financial system of the future, Jessie, and we have to encourage it. What the Biden administration was doing – and let's face it, it wasn't Biden – Elizabeth Warren controlled the autopen during that administration," Sacks said.
"She, for some reason, has this pathological hatred of the crypto community. She wants to drive this community offshore; she doesn't want it happening in the United States. That's the wrong policy for the United States.
"We want all the innovation happening here. This is a financial system of the future. It's cheaper, it's more efficient – we want it happening here, Jessie. And I think people are thrilled that President Trump is making that possible."
About two hours before Watters' program aired, Trump took to Truth Social to address the autopen mystery, saying: "Other than the Rigged Presidential Election of 2020, the Biggest Scandal in American History is the 'AUTOPEN!'
"Whoever used it was usurping the power of the Presidency, and it should be very easy to find out who that person (or persons) is.
"They did things that a Joe Biden, of sound mind, would have never done, like, Open Borders, Transgender for everyone, men in women's sports, and far more. Fear not, however, we will bring America BACK, BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!"
House Oversight Chairman James Comer has already identified five Biden aides allegedly involved in the cover-up of Biden's deteriorating cognitive abilities as well as the autopen scandal.
On May 22, he sent letters to President Biden's physician and former White House aides demanding they appear for transcribed interviews.
Comer is demanding testimony from Biden White House physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor, former Director of Domestic Policy Council Neera Tanden, former Assistant to the President and Senior Adviser to First Lady Jill Biden Anthony Bernal, former Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff Annie Tomasini, former Special Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of Oval Office Operations Ashley Williams.
Comer said: "The cover-up of President Biden's obvious mental decline is a historic scandal. The American people deserve to know when this decline began, how far it progressed, and who was making critical decisions on his behalf.
"Key executive actions signed by autopen, such as sweeping pardons for the Biden Crime Family, must be examined considering President Biden's diminished capacity. Today, we are calling on President Biden's physician and former White House advisers to participate in transcribed interviews so we can begin to uncover the truth.
"In the last Congress, the Biden White House blocked these individuals from providing testimony to the Oversight Committee as part of the effort to cover-up Biden's declining health. Any continued obstruction will be met with swift and decisive action. The American people demand transparency and accountability now."

There have been plenty of anti-Trump performers who have chafed at the president taking an active role at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington, D.C.'s premier cultural venue, including some whose opposition resulted in the cancellation of a performance of the hit musical "Hamilton."
But now a legendary Tony-winning Broadway actress is resorting to violent language, saying the facility now "should get blown up."
In a recent interview, Patti LuPone, a three-time Tony winner and two-time Grammy awardee, also said New York should secede from the Union. Lupone's remarks were reported in The New Yorker Monday.
In February, Trump took action to "dewokify" the Kennedy Center, posting to Truth Social:
"I have decided to immediately terminate multiple individuals from the Board of Trustees, including the Chairman, who do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture. We will soon announce a new Board, with an amazing Chairman, DONALD J. TRUMP! Just last year, the Kennedy Center featured Drag Shows specifically targeting our youth — THIS WILL STOP. The Kennedy Center is an American Jewel, and must reflect the brightest STARS on its stage from all across our Nation. For the Kennedy Center, THE BEST IS YET TO COME!"
The New Yorker interviewer reported:
[Lupone is] even angrier at the rest of the country. She told me, more than once, that the Trumpified Kennedy Center "should get blown up." In the S.U.V., apropos the current Administration, she pronounced, "Leave. New York. Alone. Make it its own country. I mean, is there any other city in America that's as diverse, as in-your-face? It's a live-or-die city, it really is. Stick it out or leave." The car dropped her off at a restaurant on the Upper West Side. She asked for sherry – she'd discovered it while doing "Les Misérables" in England in the eighties – but the bartender said that they didn't carry it, so she settled for a glass of rosé, with a side of ice cubes.
The Gateway Pundit notes that LuPone went viral in 2017 for calling Trump a "motherf–-er" on the Tony Awards red carpet.
The Trump-run Kennedy Center has noticeably turned a corner regarding its cultural offerings. It is hosting a free family screening of "The King of Kings" at the Concert Hall on June 1. The Christian film takes audiences on a "Journey through history alongside a young boy as he witnesses Jesus' miracles, trials, and ultimate sacrifice."
