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

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.

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? L

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 p

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 &qu

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

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 th

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 soc

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 a

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 Am

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.

You didn't name your employer for someone who might be interested. Perhaps visibility is one reason you can't find anyone? I applied to a similar position locally this year. I far exceed their requirements and experience and I got

His point was to keep the chemicals out of our food supply. Argue about the details all you want, but nobody wants to consume this toxin and feed it to their children. So yet again, Alex Jones was right.

This is an excellent point and a real litmus test. If there really were a labor shortage companies would be providing training programs to build that labor force. Instead they post job descriptions so niche only a liar could technically qua

Look up that "prevailing wage". It's a deep discount compared to the real world. Minimum for a Software Developer in SF: $113,444 https://h1bgrader.com/

I know personally companies that laid off a major percentage (50% in one case) of their software engineers to replace them with cheaper foreign and visa workers. I don't know if you've tried to find a job recently, but it's a
