Yeah! Foreign replacements inbound
At first they came for the ground guys, but I didn’t speak up as I was a pilot
“ A multibillion-dollar federal delivery contract awarded to FedEx coincided with a sharp rise in the company's use of foreign workers, even as it carried out large-scale layoffs of U.S. employees across multiple states.
In December 2022, the U.S. Transportation Command selected FedEx and two other firms to provide package delivery services for government agencies under an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract with a total face value of $2.24 billion, according to a report by GovCon Wire.
The award covered the Next Generation Delivery Service-2 program, with a base performance period running from April 1, 2023, through September 30, 2026, and options that could extend the work through September 30, 2030.
Since that award, publicly available immigration data show a substantial increase in FedEx's hiring of foreign workers through the H-1B visa program...

It’s from 2022. Kind of late to the story. It’s propaganda. I got excited when I saw it too but there’s not much to it. I still think R-Dog and Brownie and Dr D suck.

Connect the dots much?
How can you compare technical/IT level with warehouse workers?
From the article:
Yoo don’t qualify for an H1B visa as a warehouse worker or dishwasher or fruit picker.
Rage bait.
How can you compare technical/IT level with warehouse workers?
From the article:
lower-level business or technical jobs, including titles such as “DIGITAL MARKETING ADVISOR” and “ENGINEERING SPECIALIST ADVISOR,” with listed salaries generally ranging from about $100,000 to $115,000.
In November 2025, the company disclosed in a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification letter that it would eliminate 856 positions at a Coppell warehouse as part of a permanent shutdown scheduled to be completed by April 29, 2026. A company spokesman said the closure was driven “solely by our customer’s decision to transition its business to a new location that will be managed by a new third-party logistics provider,” according to the letter published in the Texas WARN database and reported at the time by The Dallas Express.
Rage bait.

H1B and E3 visas aren’t targeting minimum wage positions, the ones open to young workers or the economically vulnerable. They’re aimed squarely at middle and upper middle class professional roles.
Worse still, even if no single job is “taken,” the increased supply of cheap labor depresses wage growth across those fields.
If betrayal by one’s own institutions, watching the steady degradation of the work that consumes our finite time and keeps us from those we care about stirs anger, then perhaps that “rage” is not only justified, but necessary.

The 2020 Census has Collierville having a 13.1% Asian demographic. According to the US News World Report, Asian students now outrank Black students in the Collierville school system.
They built a pretty big Indian Cultural Center and Temple off Highway 64. We also have the new Memphis Minor Cricket League which formed in 2024 and play at three locations: Collierville, Bartlett, and Hickory Hill.
Something is attracting Indians to the Memphis area. Even the Minister of Defense Shri Singh came to Memphis, TN in 2024 and together with our CEO they spoke about Indian-diaspora. Coincidence? I'm sure it's a nothing burger.

Not propaganda. In my neighborhood (Shelby County) it is common to see Indians walking around throughout the neighborhood. That wasn't a thing when I first moved here over a decade ago.
