Disney Workers Forced to Train Their Foreign Replacements



A former Disney (DIS) employee is speaking out about U.S. companies hiring foreign workers with H1-B visas, at lower wages, to replace U.S. workers.

“The foreign workers that replaced the hundreds of us here in Orlando, and Anaheim, were just flown in weeks before,” former Disney IT employee Leo Perrero told the FOX Business Network’s Stuart Varney.

Perrero then discussed the difference in wages paid to the foreign replacements.

“They came in on a visa called the H1-B visa, I don’t know exactly what they pay, however the bulk of these people that applied for this visa are at the very lowest pay scale out of the four. They all claim to come in on this visa because they are better than Americans, yet they come in on the lowest pay scales.”

I am sure Trump will eliminate H1B visas. Just more paperwork. Let them come with no restrictions whatsoever!! Especially from Poland!!

sigh..... typical low-information voter who knows that he's getting fucked and, goes for a bad solution.

I think the flat tax thing always moved people to that viewpoint.
