'No US Citizens': Meet the IT Firms Discriminating Against Americans
Plus, Minnesota Democrats scramble to claim credit for fraud prosecutions they had nothing to do with and a CCP-tied climate group gives big to Harvard
A growing number of IT staffing firms are posting help wanted ads that say the quiet part out loud: Americans need not apply. Federal law prohibits this—duh—but in an industry reliant on an H-1B program that provides visas to more than 700,000 immigrants, the Free Beacon’s Aaron Sibarium “identified over two dozen job postings since 2024 that appear to bar applications from U.S. citizens” in favor of visa holders. Many of the companies behind them tout their commitment to DEI.
Take LanceSoft, an IT staffing firm committed to “diversity, equality, and inclusivity.” In a post to an IT jobs aggregator site advertising a $60-per-hour role, the company said it strives “to be as diverse as the clients and employees we partner with” and embraces “people of any race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender identity, and sexual orientation.” But candidates “must hold an active H1B visa.”
“The posts illustrate what Trump administration officials say is a common form of hiring discrimination that has long been underpoliced,” writes Sibarium. “They come as conservatives are debating the merits of the H-1B visa program, which some argue has been abused by employers to hire foreign workers—especially Indian outsourcers—at the expense of American ones.”

TrumpRx makes medicines more affordable for American patients.
By launching TrumpRx and brokering deals with pharmaceutical manufacturers, President Trump successfully lowered the cost of prescription medicines for over 100 million Americans. Compared to heavy-handed, government price-setting proposals that will stunt American competitiveness and ultimately drive up costs, TrumpRx is a common sense, free market solution to delivering on the President’s promise of lower prescription drug prices for Americans.
The Minnesota Democrats who were too timid to tackle the epic fraud perpetrated by members of the state’s Somali community are now elbowing each other out of the way trying to claim credit for putting the bad guys behind bars. The feds have indicted 78 people in connection with the country’s largest COVID fraud, but everybody from Tim Walz to St. Paul mayor Melvin Carter is grasping for a piece of the action.
Walz, whose administration looked the other way on all this, said Sunday the only thing he has to be sorry for is “putting people in jail.” A local reporter called BS on the claim, asking Walz why he’d make the assertion given that “all the fraud so far has been federal prosecutions.” Walz responded, “We’re the ones who alerted the FBI.”
Walz appeared to be taking credit for the actions of a conscientious Minnesota Department of Education official, career bureaucrat Emily Honer, who alerted the FBI to the fraud as others declined to scrutinize it.
Then there was Carter, who told CNN that federal agents “are not adding value” in the Twin Cities because “those fraud allegations were uncovered by local law enforcement, and our state’s attorney general pressed charges.” Again, all 78 indictments in the Feeding Our Future cases came from the feds. Better luck next time.
A Chinese climate nonprofit run by veterans of Beijing’s government quietly doubled its financial footprint in American academia last year, wiring more than $1.2 million to Harvard and the University of California, new tax filings reviewed by our Thomas Catenacci show.
The Energy Foundation China—whose leadership includes former CCP climate negotiators and officials from China’s national legislature—funneled the money to support U.S.-based “emissions” and “climate engagement” work. It’s likely to raise eyebrows with congressional Republicans, who opened a probe into the foundation last year over its efforts to influence U.S. energy policy. That’s exactly what EFC is aiming to do by funding the likes of Harvard and UC Berkeley, head of the Americans for Public Trust watchdog group Caitlin Sutherland said.
“Americans need to know that the Energy Foundation China is nothing more than an influence operation of the CCP,” Sutherland told the Free Beacon. “Lawmakers should be on heightened alert and investigate this organization for the adversarial enterprise that it is.”

Harvard unveiled a proposal to freeze its custodians’ wages in response to the financial headwinds it is facing amid its fight with the Trump administration. Harvard student Charles Covit responds: “There is cruel irony in making cuts that hurt Harvard’s most vulnerable employees while the University maintains its extensive diversity, equity and inclusion bureaucracy, much of which was institutionalized only in recent years.”
Good luck, Illinois: A biological man serving a 22-year-long sentence for strangling his own mother to death was transferred to a minimum security women’s prison in the state after he began calling himself “Hannah” while behind bars.
Too pro-Hamas for the Hamasniks: A Palestinian ambassador, Abdal Karim Ewaida, is calling out the Soros-funded outlet Drop Site News for its “malicious objectives and relentless advocacy for Hamas.” In other words, the site is too pro-Hamas for the Hamasniks.
Check out our full lineup below.
You know it’s possible that the mother killer in the Illinois prison IS now a Hannah. He likely became someone’s girlfriend behind bars and found his true self.
LinkedIn is rife with fraudulent job recruitment posts, and not just ones that discriminate against citizens and green card holders. I receive posts almost daily that state my profile at LinkedIn is almost a perfect match for the job for which I am being recruited. but what NEVER with any specifics about what qualifications I presumably have. The same vagueness is true regardless of whether the sender's profile suggests a well-established account, such at 500+ connections and followers in the 5 or 6 digits, for I have noticed the post is missing within a day or two if I do not respond immediately, and when I have responded, I almost never get a reply because I ask rather pointed questions. It seems to me that LinkedIn is more interested in the money it is paid to allow such posts that assuring its legitimate users are protected from scams.
