LOW skill people worry about immigration. When I create a job position it goes out to EVERY qualified person from the world, and that is how should it be. There are no such things as "Canadian" jobs or "American Jobs". IF you can't accept it GTFO of Tech. I hire people from IIT, Tsinghua, Oxford, Cambridge, Caltech, Stanford. You want GOVERNMENT to protect you from your incompetence?

After watching the best, most world class programmers in the world, who already worked on things for Blizzard, Microsoft, Meta, etc. get laid off, it’s pretty clear it’s a lie and not about “incompetence” or “competition” - record profits and layoffs of world class people? Clearly it’s a lie to boost the earnings of wealthy people.

Problem is, sometimes you don't need the best-world-class coders, you need cheaper coders to align a button.

So it’s either your fault because you’re incompetent or your fault because they need someone cheaper?

It’s funny that any way it turns out it’s anti-worker.

A little class consciousness would go a long way.

I can assure you that you are not hiring the best and brightest. The best and brightest left this bullshit system years ago and are doing their own thing

Then Up your skills. Don't compete in that space. If you can so easily be replaced by people from India making less than 10 dollars an hour, it is time to upskill. This reeks of anti immigration bias. There is no such thing as an American or Canadian job.
