Republicans are divided over H-1B visas, which allow foreign professionals to work in the U.S. Today, ~600,000 H-1B holders fill roles in tech, medicine, academia, and more.
Since their creation in 1990, rules have loosened, allowing extended stays and applications for permanent residency. There’s been a tug-of-war between big business and #labor. https://theconversation.com/whats-an-h-1b-visa-a-brief-history-of-the-controversial-program-for-skilled-foreign-workers-24707 #immigration #H1BVisa

Gegen #ElonMusk ist #SteveBannon ein stinkender #Furz im #Abendwind, der es sicher nicht schaffen wird, seinen #Kontrahenten schnell loszuwerden, wie er angekündigt hat. #Musk ist wichtiger für #Trump als Bannon, der seinen #Einfluss auf Trump maßlos überschätzt. #Amerika braucht die #Tech-#Immigranten mit #H1BVisa, was Bannon gerne verhindern möchte. Da schießt sich die #MAGA-#Basis mal wieder in's eigene Knie. So sind ideologische #Konflikte #vorprogrammiert.
I think H1B visas should stay with the worker, not the employer. If the case is that this worker is highly skilled and should be allowed in, then they should be able to remain if somehow the employer fails to take advantage of them correctly. It would incentivize companies to use H1Bs in the intended fashion (for highly skilled workers, not to undermine the domestic labor market), and it would reduce the exploitation caused by people living under precarious visas.
Man soll bekanntlich nicht die Trolle füttern, aber unkommentiert lassen kann man dieses ganze Theater um #H1BVisa, den #MAGA-Bürgerkrieg und #MuskWeidel ja nun auch nicht.

> The predicted result is that the cost of skilled labor will rise and transnational corporations will transfer research, product development and design, marketing, and other such operations elsewhere. For the growing underclass, opportunities will still be available as #Hessians.... the consequences if such expectations — not inevitable, but also not unrealistic — are indeed realized.

> Studies by the US Labor Department and others predict serious shortages of skilled labor (everything from scientists and managers to technicians and typists) as the educational system deteriorates, part of the collapse of infrastructure accelerated by #Reaganite social and economic policies. The tendency may be mitigated by modification of immigration laws to encourage a brain drain, but that is not likely to prove adequate.

So, it looks like the next Civil War will be fought between those who HATE people of colour and those who want to EXPLOIT people of colour..

"Tesla has replaced some of its US employees who were let go as part of a big wave of layoffs earlier this year with foreign workers using H-1B visas, which CEO Elon Musk is now campaigning to increase.
Over the last week, Elon Musk has been promoting the increase of H-1B visas, which are used to bring foreign workers into the US for “specialty occupations.”
Qualified foreign workers need to be sponsored by a company to get the visa, which lasts three years, extendable to six years, after which the holder needs to reapply.
The visa holder must maintain employment at the visa sponsor to retain the work visa. The worker would have to leave the country if the employment ends for whatever reason. This has led to some criticism as it gives tremendous power to the employer and can lead to a modern version of indentured servitude."
Sure, that is how neoliberal capitalism works…

H1B visa insanity:
"Given the choice between a prostate exam and sponsoring a work visa, hiring managers will probably choose the former. An analysis by the Washington Post found that it would be easier for a skilled worker to get a work permit by crossing the border illegally and claiming asylum."

The insane H1B visa process:
"The firm must apply to the Department of Labor, showing it has tried to find a US citizen & will not undercut local wages. If the Labor Department approves, the firm must apply to the immigration authorities, which will sit on the application until the following April, when they hold a lottery. At this stage 75% of applications are rejected."

"In 2013, a billboard was erected in Silicon Valley with a blunt invitation to immigrant STEM workers:
“H-1B Problems?” it stated.
“Pivot to Canada.”
"The billboard was part of a targeted campaign by the Canadian government to attract disaffected immigrant STEM workers to Canada.
"The campaign worked."
"From 2006 to 2012, Mexico opened 120 tuition-free specialist technology universities."
