the twitter is blowing up with horror stories of H1 visa abuse. I thought for a minute it was Canadas TFW program and their ilk
It’s racists vs tech bros over on Twitter the past couple days and I’m not gonna lie, it’s funny. Since tech-right literally owns the platform and is supported by a ton of the paid members, the alt-right’s not having a great time in this particular chapter of the culture wars.

The r/Leopardsatemyface subreddit has been on fire since…well, 06 Nov, but the last 24 hours have been even more wild.

Regardless, it seems Hilary was the one who opened that particular Pandora's Box, which didn't do her any favours ...
Hillary Clinton’s basket of deplorables, explained
The multifaceted controversy touches on two of the more enduring taboos in American politics — frank discussion of racism and disparaging the electorate. And it highlights the contrasting campaign strategies of the Trump and Clinton camps. It started because the Trump camp correctly sensed Clinton had made a mistake.
Hillary Clinton’s basket of deplorables, explained
A gaffe, an apology, and a battle about racism that she fundamentally welcomes.

Tangentially...
H1B Lip-Sync Scandal Exposed! Indian Firm Behind
A new type of fraud has emerged in the H1B visa job market that is quite surprising. Some candidates seeking highly skilled tech positions in the U.S. are reportedly lip-syncing during video interviews. (watch the video below) In this scenario, another person off-camera provides the answers while the candidate pretends to speak. This tactic allows them to seem qualified for roles they may not actually be able to perform.

That was a couple days ago and was a huge catalyst in kicking this whole thing off. Needless to say a lot of Twitter racists were not fans of someone with brown skin and a name like Vivek saying that. The irrational replies have largely drowned out the rational ones.

That's an awful lotta words for "foreigner stealing good high-paying American jobs" right there
As Stratford Billy once wrote, “How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child.”

Yes, I find it quite funny. The Donald has quietly sided with Elon and Vivek though.
I think what Vivek said is remarkably accurate and it doesn't only apply to STEM. I see it in my own industry. I'm currently advertising a position and have a signing bonus & relocation assistance attached to the offer. We pay for everything and even pay a person during their training. The only ones who want the job are South East Asians. I have a bunch who work for me now and they tell their buddies how good of a job it is, who then also apply to try and work here.
I don't know why homegrown kids don't want to work these jobs? A few of my wife's friends boyfriends/partners/spouses are always lamenting how they can't find work, don't make enough money, etc.
I've offered to help them get a start in this business but none of them have taken me up on the offer.
My uncle is a general contractor who owns a decent sized construction business. He can't get anyone to work for him under the age of 50 and all of his carpenters, electricians, plumbers, etc are all around 5 or 6 years away from retirement.

the problem is at least if some of which ive seen on twitter is true is they are not using the program for highly qualified individuals lacking in the US. By they i mean those that use the program and Elon in particular. Honestly i dont know why anyone would believe that given the abuses we have seen here in Canada.
The solution to this H1B is to not tie it to the employer and or put a minimum salary on it, say $250000

He has not quietly sided with Elon and Vivek. He said, back in June (before he was elected and picked Elon as the head of DOGE), that people studying in the US should get a green card automatically, not that more H1B visas for skilled foreigners should be issued. Nice try.

The irony induced chuckle ar the supposed "free speech absolutist" ruthlessly silencing voices he doesn't like plus the schadenfreude at Loomer and Gaetz flailing around aside- kind of chilling watching Musk try to shift gears from riding/supporting MAGA to blatantly trying to bend it to his will.

That is quietly siding with those two.
I know, the word 'Nuance' is something lost in today's political discourse
The US ability to brain drain the entire World is something anyone with half a brain realizes should be a 'SUSTAIN' on the COA Decision Matrix.

Maybe they do not want to work what some experts refer to as, "Dirty, dangerous and demeaning" jobs.
