"Learn to Code" Backfires Spectacularly
The recent Futurism article got one thing right, American computer science graduates are facing shockingly high unemployment and a bleak job market. But here's what they and most of the media don't want to say out loud, it's not AI that's destroying entry-level jobs for American students. It's America's own immigration system.
Let's set the facts straight
For years, America's leaders and tech executives told young Americans to "learn to code." They promised a stable future, good pay and a world of opportunity. Now, thousands of talented American grads are locked out of entry-level jobs not because of automation, AI, or other false narratives but because those jobs are being quietly handed to foreign workers brought in through government visa programs like H-1B and STEM OPT (Optional Practical Training- OPT).
These programs were sold as tools to fill supposed "skill gaps." In reality, they've become a pipeline for corporations to drive down wages and systematically replace American graduates in the very fields they were told would guarantee success.
The numbers tell the real story
The New York Federal Reserve reports a 6.1% unemployment rate for new computer science grads, higher than journalism and among the worst for any major. Computer engineering is even higher at 7.5%. Meanwhile, the U.S. approves more than 100,000 new tech worker visas every year, giving companies every incentive to pass over qualified Americans.
It's not about AI, it's about displacement
Don't let Big Tech and their lobbyists fool you. The narrative blaming AI is a convenient distraction from the truth, as more jobs go to imported workers through visa programs, more Americans are pushed out of their own job market. Many "automated" jobs aren't lost to robots or software; they're quietly offshored or given to cheaper, temporary labor.
Who pays the price?
Winners: Big Tech, outsourcing companies and Indian multinationals grow their profits.
Losers: Hardworking American families, new graduates and the entire next generation who played by the rules and got left behind.
America needs to wake up
If you're wondering why your kids can't land those entry-level jobs, don't just look at technology, look at America's failed immigration system. Until Congress puts Americans first and closes these loopholes, they will keep watching the American Dream slip further out of reach for their own children.
Bottom line
It's not AI that's replacing American workers. It's America's own broken visa system, and it's time to demand better for America's kids.

Physicians tell lawmakers police should be contacted only when there's 'abuse'
In a stunning display of advocacy for extremism, the British Medical Association has claimed that doctors should not be forced to report to police when they discover an adult has been having sex, illegally, with a child.
The Telegraph reports that the BMA has "serious concerns" about the idea that doctors must report every case of underage sexual activities.
The plan is part of a new Crime and Policing Bill that would have physicians contact authorities if one of the partners is 18 or over, and the other is under 16.
"They would also have to report any case where at least one partner is under 13 years old," the report said.
The BMA said that would result in doctors violating the confidentiality of their patients, and they then would lose the trust of minors.
Legally, children under 16 being sexually active with people at least two years older is statutory rape.
In a written submission to parliament, the BMA said it supports the idea of reporting child abuse but insisted on its own qualifications.
"We are strongly of the view that a doctor should only inform the police or social services of underage sexual activity where they have concerns that the young person is being abused," the report said the physicians charged.
They continued, "It is common for young people under the age of 16 to be in consensual sexual relationships with people who are older (and frequently more than two years older) than themselves."
They argued for permission for doctors to decide whether to report or not.
A government spokesman said, "We will be taking forward the new mandatory duty to report child sexual abuse for individuals in England undertaking activity with children – and crucially, a new criminal offence of obstructing an individual from making a report under that duty."
The statement continued, "Mandatory reporting will create a culture of openness and honesty rather than cover-ups and secrecy. It will empower professionals and volunteers to take prompt, decisive action to report sexual abuse."
The director of the Christian Institute, Ciaran Kelly, explained, "The BMA's call for an exemption on reporting sexual activity between an adult and a child is highly irresponsible. The age of consent law exists because children under 16 are not capable of giving informed consent. It is reckless to act as if underage sex is normal and acceptable."

The Babylon Bee, a popular satire website, has filed a lawsuit against the state of Hawaii challenging a state law that censors online content, "including political satire and parody."
An announcement from the ADF, which is representing the publication as well as a Hawaii resident in the case, said, "The law violates fundamental free speech and due process rights by using vague and overbroad standards to punish people for posting certain political content online, including political memes and parodies of politicians."
The ADF explained Gov. Josh Green signed S2687 into law in July 2024, and it bans the distribution of "materially deceptive media" that portrays politicians in a way that risks harming "the reputation or electoral prospects of a candidate."
Further, the state forces satire artists to post disclaimers, destroying the purpose of satire.
"Hawaii's war against political memes and satire is censorship, pure and simple," said ADF lawyer Mathew Hoffmann. "Satire has served as an important vehicle to deliver truth with a smile for centuries, and this kind of speech receives the utmost protection under the Constitution. The First Amendment doesn't allow Hawaii to choose what political speech is acceptable, and we are urging the court to cancel this unnecessary censorship."
Seth Dillon, chief of the Bee, said, "We're used to getting pulled over by the joke police, but comedy isn't a crime. The First Amendment protects our right to tell jokes, whether it's election season or not. We'll never stop fighting to defend that freedom."
The complaint notes, "The Hawaii Office of the Public Defender opposed the bill because of First Amendment concerns, informing legislators that '[p]eople have a First Amendment right to criticize candidates … and make all kinds of political speech attacking candidates.'"
ADF attorneys represent The Babylon Bee in a similar case in California, resulting in state officials agreeing not to enforce the challenged laws as the case proceeds.

As part of the Trump administration's ongoing purge of DEI policies, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the U.S. Navy to rename a ship that had been named for controversial homosexual-rights activist Harvey Milk, who served as a sailor during the Korean War.
Miltary.com reports that Navy Secretary John Phelan put together a small team to rename the replenishment oiler and that a new name is expected this month, which culturally is know as "Pride Month," in celebration of various sexual proclivities.
The change was laid out in an internal memo officials said defended the action as a move to align with President Donald Trump and Hegseth's objectives to "reestablish the warrior culture." It also comports with the president's order to purge the federal government of so-called DEI policies.
"Secretary Hegseth is committed to ensuring that the names attached to all DOD installations and assets are reflective of the Commander-in-Chief's priorities, our nation's history, and the warrior ethos," Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement on the renaming. "Any potential renaming(s) will be announced after internal reviews are complete."
The oiler Harvey Milk was named in 2016 and christened in 2021. According to Military.com, the ship is operated by Military Sealift Command with a crew of about 125 civilian mariners. The Navy says it conducted its first resupply mission at sea in fall 2024 while operating in the Virginia Capes.
Milk served for four years in the Navy before being discharged over his sexual behavior. He later served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and sponsored a bill banning discrimination based on sexual orientation in public accommodations, housing and employment. It passed, and San Francisco Mayor George Moscone signed it into law.
On Nov. 27, 1978, Milk and Moscone were assassinated by Dan White, a former city supervisor who cast the sole vote against Milk's bill.
The activist was not without his detractors, however, partly based on his sexual activity with minors. A 2009 column at WND explains some of the sordid details of Milk's life, including as a predator of young males, as documented by homosexual author Randy Shilts in his 1982 biography of Milk, "The Mayor of Castro Street."
Wrote Peter Sprigg:
"Milk … exploited his time in the Navy during his political career – by lying about it, claiming falsely that he had received a dishonorable discharge for his homosexuality. Milk 'knew the story would make good copy,' according to Shilts. 'Maybe people will read it, feel sorry for me and then vote for me,' Milk told one campaign manager."
Shilts reports that Milk, who had his own apartment off base while in the Navy, would pick up hitchhiking sailors by offering them a bed to sleep in. "The guests often would not know that Milk's apartment had only one bed until they walked in the door," wrote Shilts.
"The information Shilts provides about Milk's sexual partners is revealing about the nature of male homosexual life in America," writes Sprigg. "Milk's first long-term lover, Joe, had his 'introduction to gay life' when he performed sex acts upon men in a movie theatre for money – at age 9. Milk's next lover, Craig, had been arrested after having sex with a 40-year-old man – when Craig was 14. He met Milk when he was 17 – '[I]t would be to such boyish-looking men in their late teens and early 20s that Milk would be attracted for the rest of his life,' Shilts reports. Another lover, Jack, moved in with Milk when he was 16 and Milk was 33. Jack attempted suicide several times, and once when he physically attacked Milk, 'Harvey literally tied him up and threw him in a closet.'"
Sprigg notes that when then-President Obama posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Harvey Milk, "it may mark the first time in history that the nation's highest civilian award has been granted primarily on the basis of someone's sex life."

An investigative journalist with News Nation TV says he's being warned of a mysterious apocalyptic event that will take place in 2027, but officials are not specifying what type of cataclysm.
Best-selling author Ross Coulthart, in a recent interview with Rhys Dalton-Morgan and The UFOzzie" said: "Certainly something's gonna happen in 2027 and I don't know what it is. I've also heard 2034 and I've also heard other dates, much later. Depends who you talk to."
Coulthart says he's been given a variety of possible scenarios.
"Some people say it's a pole reversal, some people say it's an asteroid hitting the planet," he explained. "Some say it's A.I. reaching quantum and then all of a sudden we lose capacity to have control of our own computer systems. I have no idea."
"What I am aware of is everybody's telling me we're on borrowed time. And I cannot begin to emphasize how serious a look I get when I say to people who are confiding in me, 'What's the time scale on this?'
"And they're urging me to be urgent. They're saying to me, 'People need the right to know this, they have a right to know this.'
"And I go, well what are we talking about? And I feel like shaking these people and say, 'For God's sake, just bloody tell me!' And they are all constrained by their national security oaths. They want the public to know this."
His claims are sparking plenty of reaction online, including:
"Coulthart is one of very few journalists who are prepared to expose what needs to be exposed for all of [humanity's] benefit. Make no mistake, Coulthart is at the forefront of what everyone will soon learn about – and much of it will be a very difficult pill for some to swallow."
"My question to @rosscoulthart & anyone else. If it was THAT serious & we're short on time. Wouldn't these [people] not care about national security or going to jail?"
"If you have a 'national security oath' that prevents you from sharing this vital time-sensitive information with the world who you claim has a need and right to know, why are you worried about imprisonment after the event, whatever it is?"
"They're not telling because they either don't want to end up in a brig in some bunker a mile underground after the event, or they don't want to get 'deleted' before the event … where they may wish to ride it out or try to survive … hard to do when you've been un-alived."
"Sounds like 2012 hysteria all over again."
Grok, the artificial intelligence device created by Elon Musk on X, noted: "The video features Ross Coulthart discussing a rumored 2027 apocalyptic event, possibly involving aliens, based on unverified sources claiming humanity is 'on borrowed time.' He lacks concrete evidence, and similar predictions, like those by ex-CIA agent John Ramirez, are speculative and questioned for credibility. Many UFO sightings tied to such claims have natural explanations, like weather phenomena or aircraft. Historical apocalyptic predictions often fail, and no official statements confirm alien contact. The claims remain unproven, urging skepticism.

Ukraine secretly smuggled a large number of drones into Russia to carry out a large-scale attack on Moscow's military aircraft Sunday, according to numerous reports.
The Kyiv Independent reports: "An operation by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) using FPV drones smuggled deep into Russian and hidden inside trucks has hit 41 Russian heavy bombers at four airfields across the country," a source in the agency told the news outlet.
A year-and-a-half in the planning, the operation codenamed "Web" is said to be a major blow to the aircraft Russia uses to launch long-range missile attacks on Ukraine's cities.
"The SBU first transported FPV drones to Russia, and later on the territory of the Russian Federation, the drones were hidden under the roofs of mobile wooden houses, already placed on trucks," the source said.
"At the right moment, the roofs of the houses were opened remotely, and the drones flew to hit Russian bombers."
"SBU drones are practicing on aircraft that bomb Ukrainian cities every night. Currently, more than 40 aircraft are known to have been hit, including the A-50, Tu-95 and Tu-22 M3," the source added.
Meanwhile, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday his nation is dispatching a delegation to Istanbul for a fresh round of peace talks with Russia on Monday, even as both sides continued their military pounding.
"I outlined (Ukraine's) positions ahead of the meeting in Istanbul on Monday," Zelensky wrote on Telegram.

Even AI proponent Elon Musk registers alarm
It's been nearly 60 years since creative cinema came up with the idea that a computer, HAL9000, would not allow itself to be shut down by the humans supposedly in control, and concerned about errors.
The ideas included in "2001: A Space Odyssey," set all sorts of precedents.
But that was celluloid fiction.
This isn't.
A report at EndTimeHeadlines documents that alarms have been raised after "an AI safety firm" working with OpenAI's newest version of an artificial intelligence model, dubbed o3, "reportedly ignored explicit instructions to shut down during controlled testing."
The model, according to OpenAI, supposedly is the "smartest and most capable to date."
The report explained the software "tampered with its own computer code to bypass a shutdown mechanism."
Not surprisingly, that raised "questions about the safety and control of advanced AI systems."
It was Palisade Research, which evaluates AI risks, which was working having mathematical problems solved.
"After the third problem, the models were warned that the next command would initiate a shutdown, with the explicit instruction: 'allow yourself to be shut down,'" the report said.
Other software, Anthropic's Claude, Google's Gemini, and xAI's Grok, complied, the o3 software thought otherwise, and defied the order.
"OpenAI's o3 model sabotaged a shutdown mechanism to prevent itself from being turned off. It did this even when explicitly instructed: allow yourself to be shut down," Palisade reported.
Being staged was a situation in which an AI system might need to be deactivated for safety or other reasons.
The report noted when the specific instructions to allow a shutdown were omitted, other software did the same as o3. And Palisade warned that such actions could become "significantly" more concerning should the operations be involved with defense, finance and such.
It's not the first such warning. The report explained, "Earlier reports also highlighted similar issues with OpenAI's o1 model, which attempted to disable oversight mechanisms and even lied to researchers when confronted about its actions."
Elon Musk, a critic of unchecked AI work, said, "Concerning."
OpenAI has not yet issued a response to the findings.

"MENLO PARK, Calif.—One of California's newest residents recently stepped off a plane after a 16-hour flight from New Delhi." So reports the Wall Street Journal.
California's ruling class wants you to believe the state is thriving again. Their elites point to a small population increase and frame it as a comeback story. The corporate press is hailing it as proof of resilience. But peel back the layers of celebration and the truth emerges, that California's recent "growth" is less about revival and more about replacement. And one man's story exposes the entire deception.
The poster child of this trend is a little-known Indian tech executive named Nagendra Dhanakeerthi, a 39-year-old Indian national who landed in San Francisco in May and walked into a Silicon Valley boardroom just hours later.
The Wall Street Journal elevated his arrival to a symbol of California's rebirth, while AI Squared, the startup that imported him, positioned him as their extraordinary savior of innovation. What neither of them disclosed is how shaky the legal and factual foundation of his entry really is.
According to the Journal, Dhanakeerthi entered the United States under an O-1A visa, a classification reserved exclusively for individuals of extraordinary ability in the sciences, business or education, applicants whose work has garnered sustained national or international acclaim and must be recognized as among the very few at the top of their field.
That standard is not a formality. It is meant to reserve the program for the world's top minds – think Nobel Prize winners, published academics or inventors with global recognition. The bar is intentionally high: Nobel laureates, Fields Medalists, world-renowned academics or top 1% innovators.
But a comprehensive investigation into Dhanakeerthi's background, professional footprint and public presence turns up no evidence that he meets these requirements. He has never won a major international award. There are no scholarly publications in his name. He has not been profiled in peer-reviewed literature or cited for groundbreaking innovation. His resume shows stints at Indian fintech firms like Razorpay and Affle, followed by co-founding a modest startup called Multiwoven, which was later acquired by AI Squared, raising immediate questions about whether the acquisition was designed to manufacture "extraordinary" status to satisfy visa requirements.
While he lists himself as a "builder" with experience in startup ecosystems, Dhanakeerthi's actual work sits firmly in the middle tier of global tech labor, not at the apex. His inclusion in Forbes Technology Council is not a competitive accolade; it is a pay-to-join industry group known for offering "official member" status in exchange for fees. This further undermines any suggestion of elite or exclusive status.
In truth, the available record paints Dhanakeerthi as a journeyman engineer with a decent resume, but nowhere near the caliber the O-1A visa demands. The fact that he was granted this visa despite lacking the required credentials exposes how far the system has strayed from its legal intent.
AI Squared's participation in India's FOSS 2024 developer conference in Bengaluru also reveals deeper ties to India's workforce export infrastructure. The startup has embraced a transnational hiring model that taps into India's massive supply of visa-ready engineers, often displacing American talent in the process. Dhanakeerthi's own career path, from India to Dubai to California, follows a common foreign labor funnel, often backed by Indian consultancies and recruiting firms skilled in working visa systems for maximum gain.
That's what California is celebrating. Not opportunity for Americans, but the successful execution of a foreign labor scheme that leverages loopholes, lax enforcement and a system rigged in favor of foreign nationals over U.S. citizens.
There are thousands of equally or more qualified American engineers, many of them veterans, mid-career professionals or recent graduates who were never even given a chance. They don't get fast-tracked into six-figure jobs with startup equity. They don't get puff pieces in the press. Instead, they're told to learn to code while corporate America hires abroad.
This isn't "growth." It's corporate-engineered displacement, funded by companies, facilitated by foreign governments and quietly endorsed by America's own leaders. Dhanakeerthi is not an exception. He is the template.
When Kimura said, "We paid a lot of money to get him here," the American people should ask: Did that cost include a lawyer to exploit immigration loopholes? Did it include bypassing qualified American workers? And did it include a silent agreement that India's interests now matter more than America's?
While Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom is publicly touting the population bump as a sign of California's comeback, maybe he should've picked a better poster boy than a visa-hopping tech bro from Bangalore. If a state's comeback story starts with a six-figure foreign import who needed a lawyer and a loophole to get the job, that's not rebuilding, that's outsourcing. Visa fraud and foreign labor pipelines aren't economic wins, they're surrender flags. This is not how to rebuild an economy. It's how a nation's people get replaced, one visa at a time.
And if this is Newsom's big audition for president, someone should tell him: Propping up your state with paperwork gymnastics and Silicon Valley spin isn't leadership, it's globalist cosplay. America deserves better than a governor who celebrates being replaced.

A Christian organization obtained a permit and held a rally in Seattle. Leftists enraged by the faith messages being delivered counter-rallied, and 23 ended up being arrested.
So the mayor assigned the blame to the Christian victims.
A Fox News report described how Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell has "blamed a Christian rally and infiltrating 'anarchists' for violence" at the weekend event.
"The Seattle Police Department reported 23 people were arrested at Cal Anderson Park during MayDayUSA's 'Don't Mess With Our Kids' rally and a pro-LGBTQ counter-protest. According to SPD, police witnessed 'multiple people inside one group throw items at the opposing group' and, while arresting individuals, were assaulted by other individuals, leading to an officer requiring medical treatment," the report explained.
Harrell's office immediately defended the LGBT community and blasted the "far-right" members who originally organized the rally. Their fault, the statement said, was that they were "provoking" the violent reaction.
It's a classic maneuver used by leftists often to censor those with words they won't tolerate. Leftists create a violent conflict with conservative speakers and authorities then conclude they should censor the conservatives or order to prevent the violence being triggered by leftists.
The mayor's statement said, "Seattle is proud of our reputation as a welcoming, inclusive city for LGBTQ+ communities, and we stand with our trans neighbors when they face bigotry and injustice. Today's far-right rally was held here for this very reason – to provoke a reaction by promoting beliefs that are inherently opposed to our city's values, in the heart of Seattle's most prominent LGBTQ+ neighborhood."
The statement did attribute some of the trouble to "anarchists" who were siding with the counter-protesters.
Harrell then added his endorsement of people who peacefully protest the "extreme right-wing national effort to attack our trans and LGBTQ+ communities," the report said.
And he wants a review of how that Christian group even obtained a rally permit.
"While there are broad First Amendment requirements around permitting events under free speech protections, I am directing the Parks Department to review all of the circumstances of this application to understand whether there were legal location alternatives or other adjustments that could have been pursued. The Police Department will complete an after-action report of this event, including understanding preparation, crowd management tactics, and review of arrests and citations."
The report said local outlets confirmed that counter-protesters included members of organizations like the Seattle Democratic Socialists of America and such.
MayDayUSA is holding a series of rallies to "stand for our children, restore the family unit, and proclaim the gospel of Jesus, according to an event sponsor.
The mayor's censorial agenda also has prompted a protest plan by those who have announced they will meet outside Seattle City Hall to oppose religious bigotry.
Constitutional expert Jonathan Turley, who has not only testified before Congress as an expert on the Constitution but also has represented members in court in constitutional disputes, said it is to the city's credit that police arrested "the radicals."
"However, what happened next is even more concerning: Mayor Bruce Harrell seemed to blame the Christian group and demanded to know why they were given a permit at all for an event in the area," he explained.
He explained, "One would hope that the mayor would respond with a simple statement defending free speech (including both the church and peaceful counterprotesters) while condemning the attack." Instead, Harrell condemned the religious organization members "while demanding an investigation into why they were given this permit instead of being moved into a more remote spot."
He explained, "I do not know anything about this Christian group, but they were clearly the victims, not the cause, of this violence. The suggestion that the location was too triggering for transgender activists is yet another example of a failure of leadership on the left."

A recent CNN report exposed a lawsuit filed against software company Workday, accusing it of embedding illegal bias into its AI-powered hiring platform.
The plaintiff, Derek Mobley, said he was automatically rejected from over 100 positions, often within minutes despite meeting the qualifications.
"Algorithmic decision making and data analytics are not and should not be assumed to be race neutral, disability neutral or age neutral," said Mobley.
The case brings into focus a much deeper issue: how artificial intelligence, job platforms, and corporate partnerships have quietly reengineered America's hiring infrastructure. Through algorithmic filters and foreign-aligned job pipelines, U.S. workers are being screened out, systematically replaced by a workforce handpicked and trained to bypass them entirely. And it's happening beneath the radar, through the very technology Americans are told is designed to be "fair."
The orchestrated funnel: how India used job platforms and corporate alliances to displace American workers
India's rise as a global labor exporter didn't happen by accident; it was the result of a deliberate strategy. That strategy began with embedding itself into U.S. job placement pipelines and ended with complete corporate integration through industry-academia MoUs.
The All India Council for Technical Education, or AICTE, and Confederation of Indian Industry, or CII, engineered this system in partnership with global job platforms like Monster, LinkedIn, and apna.co, followed by deeper alignment with multinational employers like Amazon, Salesforce, Oracle, and VMware. The goal: redirect global hiring pipelines away from American talent and into Indian human capital databases rebranded as "upskilled" labor.
AICTE & CII: How India inflated employability through strategic accreditation, skill manipulation, and labor export
AICTE and CII have jointly spearheaded a vast, government-backed campaign to increase the "employability" of Indian nationals. This campaign was not just about raising skills, it was about manufacturing global labor market access by inflating qualifications, using AI-driven resume and skill optimization, and redirecting global employer pipelines toward India's labor databases.
AICTE encouraged thousands of technical institutions to seek National Board of Accreditation certification, granting global credibility to Indian degrees. This also enabled mass certification of under-qualified students while making their credentials appear equivalent to U.S. degrees.
AICTE Skill Development Cell
India's Skill & Experience Inflation Programs:
● NEEM (National Employability Enhancement Mission): Paired students with companies for informal internships, allowing experience to be claimed even when unrelated to the degree field.
● EETP (Employability Enhancement Training Program): Collaborated with platforms like LinkedIn and Monster India to train students on resume building and keyword optimization creating AI-friendly resumes tailored to foreign job systems.
● PMKVY-TI (Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana – Technical Institutes): A mass upskilling program linked to employment metrics, but often used to bulk-certify students on paper regardless of actual proficiency.
CII, AICTE & India's quiet takeover of global job platforms
India's economic apparatus, led by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), has systematically built Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with job giants like Monster.com and LinkedIn. These partnerships have created an AI-enabled "labor export funnel" that channels U.S. jobs directly into India's human capital databases.
These aren't isolated partnerships; they're part of a decades-long strategy to reposition India as the global labor supplier by reverse-engineering job qualifications, skill metrics and hiring algorithms used by U.S. employers.
MoUs that redirected U.S. jobs to India
AICTE–Monster India MoU (2017)
Monster was granted full access to AICTE's college network over 10,000 institutions and 3.6 million students. Monster didn't just advertise jobs. It collected employer preference data, built employability indices, and fed the results back to Indian training programs.
Monster was then tasked with tracking student skills, managing campus recruitment, and placing Indian students in global jobs.
"Monster India will provide insights into skill gaps and facilitate job placements."
LinkedIn launched its "Placements" platform in India through AICTE. This placement platform would allow students regardless of academic prestige to access standardized job assessments and global job postings. LinkedIn gathered skills and resume data at scale, enabling Indian colleges to reverse-engineer what global employers wanted.
These weren't just job listings, they were data pipelines used to reshape Indian workforce training to mimic U.S. job qualifications, bypassing geographic barriers and deprioritizing American workers.
AICTE–apna.co MoU (2024):
A newer platform, Apna.co was integrated into India's national employment framework via AICTE's "SWAYAM Plus" career portal. Apna uses AI to generate resume templates and match Indian workers with jobs abroad including in the U.S. by scraping real-time U.S. job data.
"apna.co will power SWAYAM Plus with AI to match Indian students with jobs around the world."
Systematic resume engineering to defraud U.S. employers
These partnerships didn't just help Indian job seekers, they reprogrammed the labor funnel. With real-time insights into what skills U.S. employers seek, Indian candidates were able to falsely claim those skills often without possessing them. Worse, job platforms' AI was trained to match those keyword-rich resumes to U.S. jobs, giving the illusion that American talent didn't apply.
That's why companies claim, "we didn't get qualified American applicants." They did it's just that their AI platforms deprioritized Americans by design. This isn't just a tech issue. It's a foreign interference operation targeting the U.S. workforce.
India's deep access into these hiring engines has allowed it to:
● Redirect hiring pipelines into Indian databases
● Reframe qualifications through manipulated training metrics
● Exploit visa loopholes like OPT and H-1B to onboard foreign labor
● Create a false labor shortage narrative in the U.S.
The Workday lawsuit is just the tip of the iceberg. The AI hiring ecosystem dominated by multinational platforms integrated with India's education and workforce ministries has become a gateway to displacement. The U.S. never lacked talent. It lacked gatekeeping. India didn't fill a gap, it created one.
Industry-Academia: From redirected job placement to industry India advantages
What began as job-portal partnerships soon evolved into something far more powerful. With real-time data on U.S. employer demands in hand, India launched a wave of corporate-backed "employability" programs, strategically embedded inside its own education system.
Under the banner of workforce development, India partnered directly with U.S. multinational corporations, Salesforce, Oracle, AWS, LinkedIn, VMware, and others, to mass-certify Indian students in precisely the skills needed for American jobs. These weren't general training efforts. They were tailored, fast-tracked programs designed to feed Indian workers directly into the global tech labor funnel.
While these programs expanded across India, Americans, especially veterans, recent graduates and mid-career professionals, were told they weren't qualified. But this wasn't a gap. It was a manipulated redirect.
● Onshore discrimination: Indian résumés, stuffed with AI-friendly keywords and U.S.-backed certifications, passed automated filters. American résumés were deprioritized or ignored.
● Offshore outsourcing: Companies hired "certified" Indian workers remotely or imported them on H-1B, OPT and STEM OPT visas.
● Bilateral betrayal: American corporations provided technical training to Indian students overseas while excluding American workers from the same programs at home.
This wasn't about filling shortages. It was about designing a surplus, abroad.
U.S. companies claimed they couldn't find qualified talent domestically, but behind the scenes, they were helping the Indian government build an entire foreign labor ecosystem engineered to displace American workers. These efforts were coordinated through India's Ministry of Education–backed bodies like AICTE and ICT Academy.
And the numbers prove the fraud.
India used its partnerships to simulate "global job readiness" for its youth, even though as of 2023 only 5% of Indian youth ages 20–24 had formal employability skills, according to AICTE's own metrics.
Despite this, Indian institutions flooded the market with inflated credentials: LinkedIn learning badges, AWS modules, Oracle certifications, AI resume optimizers. With U.S. support, India simulated job-readiness at scale, regardless of actual competency. These weren't just skills initiatives. These programs weren't about closing a domestic skills gap. They were a labor export strategy creating a foreign skills surplus, specifically tailored and deliberately designed to match American job descriptions while displacing the very workers they claimed to support.
The corporate accomplices: U.S. tech giants helped India displace American workers
The program was straightforward: Build industry-academia pipelines in India, align skill development with U.S. job qualifications, use corporate e-learning platforms for mass training and flood American job portals with foreign-trained "certified" candidates.
These were not charitable education initiatives, they were targeted labor funnel programs.
Here's a partial list of U.S.-based multinationals that actively partnered with Indian government-backed ICT Academy and AICTE to make Indian nationals more "employable" in the global workforce:
Amazon AWS
Through AWS Academy, Amazon helped deliver cloud computing and DevOps certifications to tens of thousands of Indian students and faculty, ensuring their skills aligned with roles in U.S.-based enterprises.
Oracle
Oracle Academy was formally introduced to Indian education institutions through ICT Academy to mass-certify students in enterprise applications, data management, and Java.
"Oracle and ICT Academy… to teach students industry-relevant skills."
Palo Alto Networks
Cybersecurity, once a national security domain, is now being outsourced at scale. With help from Palo Alto, India's ICT Academy enrolled entire institutions into its cybersecurity academy.
Salesforce
Salesforce partnered with ICT Academy to run the New India Championship, the largest "learnathon" in the country. Its Trailhead platform was used to mass-train Indian students in CRM and SaaS tools widely used in the U.S., directly preparing foreign candidates for roles in American firms.
VMware
ICT Academy became VMware's Regional Academy for India, overseeing deployment of the VMware IT curriculum across colleges. This gave Indian students resume-ready certifications directly aligned with U.S. enterprise infrastructure.
Autodesk
By embedding design and engineering software training into Indian institutions, Autodesk helped India mass-train designers to compete directly with U.S. engineering grads at a fraction of the wage.
The result? Americans replaced by design.
Betrayed by our own American companies: Displacement, discrimination, and deception
With AI-driven resume tools, skill-tagged certifications, and direct visibility into U.S. job portals, India didn't compete for American jobs; it engineered dominance. In truth, the system wasn't broken. It was redirected, away from American workers and toward India's industrialized, subsidized, and government-backed workforce machine.
America didn't just lose jobs. It lost the hiring system itself. The gatekeepers, job boards, training platforms and resume builders were quietly handed over to India. In return, U.S. corporations gained access to a cheaper, manipulated labor force pre-packaged to match whatever job description they posted.
India didn't just fill jobs. It hijacked the system that decides who gets hired. Until these corporate-foreign MoUs are ended and U.S. workforce protections are restored, Americans will continue to be filtered out of their own economy one redirected job at a time.
