Yes, it is interesting. I'm curious what the experience of H1bs who've been let go recently

Getting deported OR settling for first acceptance jobs within 60 days. OR going to Canada that has opportunistically opened their doors. OR going back home.

I’m sorry it’s like that here in the US. We should be all about immigration like we were back when.

Obviously, the American voters don't want lots of immigration any more. They said so quite clearly when they voted for Trump. Even well before that, America's immigration system (namely the H1-B) was highly exploitative. Prospective immigrants should think a lot about why they want to go so badly to a country that clearly doesn't want them, and look for countries that treat immigrants better.

In my personal opinion, H1b visas are made this way so that the people on them are kept docile and will pretty much accept anything from employers who are then free to abuse them.

How are the numbers? How many percent even in tech, are working on such visas in the US?

It was funny seeing people bikeshed the use of the word "master" in a code base while not realizing H1B workers are the next best thing to actual slaves.
