Donald Trump Signs Orders of Foreigners Work Visa

Posted on April 21, 2017 by admin

The US president, Donald Trump signed the executive orders of ‘Buy America, Hire America’ and the federal agencies are asked to overhaul the visa program to bring the highly skilled workers in the country. The orders urge the authorities to take the action to crack down on fraud and abuse within the immigration system of America to protect the American workers.

The statement was issued from White House and it states that the program is affecting the daily life of US workers to bring cheap labor within the country from various countries like Pakistan. The American president said that they are sending the powerful indication to world that they will defend their labor, protect their jobs and put American first.

Now H-1B visas are given in the totally random lottery and it was wrong. They should be given the most skilled and highest paid applicants and they should never be used to replace the Americans.

The experts suggest that this order would not have any immediate effect and president cannot change the number of visas already issued. It can be seen as the move to build up support for legislative reform down the line, which is the concerning move.

H-1B Visas and Pakistan

The visas enable the companies to hire the workers from other countries for period of three years. The workers required to have the specialized knowledge and must have bachelor degree or higher in the particular field of engineering, science and information technology. Most of the workers are employed in Silicon Valley in the firms like Tata Infosys and it is pertinent to have highest percentage of the foreign employees.

Bloomberg shows the figure that the companies pay $65,000 to $75,000 a year to H-1B workers and Google and Microsoft have the average of $100,000 salary on the yearly basis. There are about 70% visas, which go to Indian workers in 2016 and Pakistan is at the 17th number with 601 H-1B visa applicants.

Just translate this phrase in Google Translate and the translation will show a very dangerous and strange demand.

2.      Mota pait


It is part of a very famous Urdu rhyme in our childhood but Google has really changed its meaning completely.

3.      The Early Bird Gets The Worm


It seems, Google is really facing difficulty in translating proverbs like that.

4.      Khayali Plao


Google thinks that “pie” is the English word for plao.

5. Na Rahay Ga Baans, Na Bajay Gi Baansri


Someone is not there at the “bamboo flute”.

5.      A watched pot never boils


Almost impossible to understand

7. The movie sucked


That’s hilarious

8. Fan is Switched on


9. What does it even mean?


10. Killing the Rhymes


Recently, Google has introduced the feature of Neural Networks in Google Translate through which it can understand and translate whole sentences instead of words but this feature isn’t available in Urdu translation so far. After including for Urdu Translation, it will make it more accurate to translate these sentences well.

He assured that the Saudi Govt. will provide all the necessary facilities to Pakistani investors for establishment of their businesses in the kingdom.

Prior to that, FPCCI president told the envoy of problems of Pakistani businessmen that they face during visit to Saudi Arabia.

Alam told about the economic achievements of Saudi Arabia from 2003 to 2013 as it achieved 100% rise in size of economy, 75% rise in household income and created 1.7 million jobs. But now the kingdom can’t rely entirely on oil reserves due to continuous falling of oil prices.
