Is the American job market being deliberately manipulated in favor of migrants?

 

I was alarmed by claims that a non-governmental organization (NGO) called Switchboard appears to have insinuated itself into so many job application processes and procedures that it almost controls the market.  Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be using that dominance to help Americans - rather the opposite, if reports are correct.

The Haitian Invasion of Ohio has created a lot of buzz. There are a lot of unexplained aspects of it that people find odd. One of these strange happenings is that locals reported that the jobs the Haitians came for were never advertised to the local population. So how did the Haitians find out about them?

It turns out that a network of federal grant recipient organizations have quietly seized control of nearly the entire job market in the US and work to ensure that openings remain "hidden" so that refugee's can take them ahead of American citizens. How many job openings remain hidden? The internal estimates of this network put the number of hidden openings at 80% of all available jobs.

EIGHTY PERCENT 

The way that this network has seized control of the labor market of the United States is easy enough to understand. Firstly, it has positioned itself as a way to remove recruiting costs for employers. Next, it offers employers laborers who can work for lower wages by also providing it's "refugees" with a plethora of social welfare not available to a typical American worker. Finally, it can provide access to the entire global labor market by setting the conditions of "refugee" status to efectively cover anyone in the world. 

If an employer needs nurses, janitors, programmers, police or literally any kind of worker the network can provide them to employers at a lower rate of pay than what an American citizen would require due to not having access to the same welfare benefits. 

These globally sourced scab workers don't require health insurance and have all living expenses subsidized by federal programs. If the typical American had all their health, food, and housing costs covered they would also be able to work for a fraction of their existing wages.

There's more at the link.  You can read Switchboard's self-promoting information guide here.  The company's Web site provides a useful Resources listing, of which many organizations are clearly "refugee"-centric.

I don't know whether the claims made above are correct.  They sound as if they're proven, but I'm looking for more evidence to confirm it.  Can any reader provide further insight?  Are there other organizations doing the same thing?  If this claim is true, and if Switchboard and others are trying to "shut out" American workers in favor of migrants, this will be an explosive issue come the elections.
