Foreign based income for resident alien

Hi there, 

I am a resident alien living in the US. I work remotely for a company in Germany (german citizenship) and I am fully employed for the German company which means I pay all taxes and deductions to the German authorities automatically with my paycheck. I also work for a company in the US and pay taxes here. When I am filing taxes in the US now, I am assuming I will need to pay full taxes for my German income as well since I am physically present in the US? Is there any way to not pay double the taxes on my foreign based income? Any advice? I am assuming it would be better to be employed as freelancer by the German company and pay only taxes in the US then without a tax credit.
