"Calling people Nazis online" has resulted in countless murders, violent riots. Do not downplay it like that.

Exposing the corporate fraud is political? Or is it just political because it uses US symbolism to expose US jobs at US companies being kept from US citizens?

Visa programs have been widely abused for decades. This just addresses the PERM portion for a few companies. The abuses of the OPT, CPT programs are insidious and have resulted in a job market that completely disincentives the hiring of new grad Americans. It's not uncommon to find job postings that are "H1B only". Companies won't even consider citizens. H1B, H4 EAD have become a way for ethnic nepotism and kickback programs to operate without consequences and get American companies to fire Americans in favor of foreign workers. This is just the smallest step in the right direction.

No it is true. But H1B is only a portion of it. OPT is unlimited and gives the employer the incentive of not paying FICA tax. Plus OPT candidates are willing to accept a fraction of the salary in the hopes that they can convert to H1B. Plus there are several other visa types being abused H4 EAD, CPT, O1.

On top of all that the commonplace practices of ethnic nepotism and hiring kickbacks.

I think many engineers are extremely naive about what is going on in the industry, which is why these abuses only continue to increase.

Those jobs aren't meant for you... they post in the classifieds with the hopes nobody responds. All to game the labor market test allowing their visa worker to get a green card.

So one of the public-private backdoors to erode citizen's rights is being undermined. Such a shame.

Maybe you haven't seen the state of things in the US lately...

What magical skills do the "damn foreigners" have that none of those 30,000 laid off employees don't have? What was the intent of the H1B? To find skills that don't exist in this country. What is H1B actually used for? Labor arbitrage, nepotism, kickbacks. There's really no excuse for defending it anymore.

Or the bootlicker olympics for those who want everyone else to ignore the constant lies because they think bigger, more powerful government is utopian.

An unverifiable line item on a resume gives you real insight on an individual's experience and skills? I think your system is flawed.

Well you are right about one thing. Government is intent on breaking the country. But rampant immigration immigration fraud and abuse has been around for decades.

Go ahead then. Explain how the US government measures the skills of work visa applicants. Because they just exposed millions are buying fake diplomas in India and getting visas. On the contrary, you sound like an H1B worker defending your position to parasitically drain US resources.

I think anyone working with the global talent can tell you there are absolutely no controls around measuring their quality. The skilled talent simply isn't skilled at all. They are willing to engage in kickback schemes. Even the O1 "genius" visa is being given to onlyfans models. Immigration is completely broken and it's by design.

Yeah, it should also be combined with the elimination of OPT, H4 EAD, and H1 visas that are harming the STEM industries in the same way to the tune of 6 million jobs. New grads can't compete with the tax benefits provided by hiring OPT workers.

Rampant abuse, fraud, nepotistic hiring combined with record high tech unemployment to start.

So why do you have a history of being racist against white Americans?

These companies include the most valuable companies making record profits. They aren't struggling to survive. They are bowing to institutional investor demands to eek out another penny because the alternative is they get replaced by the board.

Except "doing it's job" means "enforcing my political beliefs" to most of you

So it's better to have an ad hoc Constitutional Convention being carried out by any random activist judge appointed by any of the previous political opposition? People sure are high and mighty when their opponent subverts the constitution, but are ridiculously silent when their own party burns the constitution.

Name a single major accomplishment of the USIP. That's the grift.

More likely because the insiders at CDC don't want to be historically "fact-checked" and are scurrying to remove the evidence. Why did Fauci need a pre-emptive pardon From Biden?

Exactly.

So what is the tiktok ban really about? If it's about the lack of narrative control, we should see the same ban being applied to RedNote.

As a Chinese, you know what you can't talk about. As an American we are "surprised" when our "free speech" results in overt government-sponsored censorship.

You are very wrong.

I'm willing to bet Americans are the most propagandized people on Earth. And it's done by our government with the "public/private partnership" aka "unconstitutional workarounds" of all legacy media and social media outlets. Facebook has admitted as much, and the Twitter files proves it.

China controlling the flow of information is the same. The only difference is China is upfront about what information they are feeding everyone.

Then call me Mr Outlier.

Because large tech companies with a large cohort of H1B + tendency to frequently reorg + career level with impact with large reach means I have indeed worked with hundreds.

Sorry bro, you don't get to deny my actual experience.

Given that Meta pays so well, why are they so dependent on H1B?

Or google? In 2023 they had a net elimination of 6576 US jobs, but added 5479 H1B.

This isn't a simple market issue, these companies are abusing worker visas to replace Americans from their own companies.

The H1B fraud from places like Infosys is alive, well, and bigger than ever.

Alive and well. https://www.theregister.com/2024/04/09/h1b_visa_fraud/

You've clearly never worked in a large tech company.

You are forgetting the dimension called "time" Mr. Angry But Dense.

H1B doesn't test for skill. It is a lottery. And judging from the skill of hundreds of H1Bs I've worked with, it is a failure of a system.
