#h1b
What no one talks about with immigration is the onslaught of workers depressing wages coming in on #H1B VISAs. If you went to college and are trying to work in tech, you likely have run into it but we are sending "gang members" to prisons and not looking out for those who actually went to college.
They'll say the H1B program isn't that big, but that's untrue when you compare it to the workforce seeking jobs.
I have to work for a foreign company that hosts immigration coffee hours. The irony.
USCIS data shows Amazon received the most H-1B visas from 2020-2024, with Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Apple in the top 10 in 2024. #H1B #USCIS #Amazon #Google #Meta #Microsoft #Apple #TechIndustry #VisaData #EmploymentTrends

Why #America’s #techindustry relies so heavily on #foreignworkers
The current debate about the #H1B #visa system provides the #US. with an opportunity for introspection.

Can H-1B visa holders start a business in the US?
Yes, but with restrictions! While you can own a business, you can’t actively manage it unless you have a work permit for that role.
I break down the rules, workarounds, and key steps to start a business while on an H-1B visa.

done differently 
In #Vermont, #borderpatrol agents shot and killed a #German guy they thought had an expired visa, but it turns out his #H1B was still valid. The border patrol claims his 21-year-old American girlfriend started the shooting. A border patrol agent also died but he may have been shot by his own side since they are only charging the young woman with gun charges.

Just wanted to chime in on behalf of TechHub Moderation.
H1B Holders are PEOPLE, not policy.
Simply being against the POLICY of issuing #H1Bvisas is not something we can do anything about as moderators: discussion of immigration law is protected political speech, and legitimate conversation. However, it is NOT ok for anyone to attack #H1B Holders themselves, and especially not to refer to them as "H1Bs".
H1B holders are just workers trying to get by, following the rules and getting a legal #visa through legitimate means. Even if the government is issuing too many, and even though companies will always try to exploit them, these people do not have power here and this is in no way their fault.
"They" are not "actively harming" anyone. The System is.
Hate Speech against H1B holders themselves, or ANY group of #immigrants, is not allowed on TechHub, or the mainstream Fediverse in general, and will be dealt with accordingly.
Just wanted to make that clear.

Have you known many #h1b workers? They really are at the mercy of their employer.
The timing is interesting.... the legacy media began publicizing #Elon's fondness for the H1B program in December.
I'm thinking that the pushback from the #MassDeportation crowd may be what precipitated this anonymous confession.
On a related note, do you know anyone who was disappeared?
