From my experience hiring as an EM at one company (Stripe) immigration status does not factor into offers.

You’re competing for this talent against every other company. If they’re good, you (and others) want to hire them.

Again: data set of one, at a high-paying company who generally has a strong ethical bent. There seem to be a lot of other experiences with the system.

This is what policy says, but behind doors it is completely different: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/gonza-penovi_a-recruiter-play...

Most recruiters will do this due to avoid extra paperwork/work required. So now you know that anti-immigration rethoric is fueled by Americans to take advantage of the vulnerable.
