@shantini
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.

> H1B visas are "non-immigrant" visas, meaning that they are designed not to offer any path to permanent residence or citizenship. You can live in the US for a long time on an H1B, but you are bound over to your employer like a serf bound to a feudal estate: if you lose your job, you lose your right to abide in the country. That can mean losing your house, your car, your kids' school and friends.

“The #American people don’t view America as a sports team or a company,” the provocateur #JackPosobiec wrote... “They view it as their home.” Later, #Musk warned his critics that he will “go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.” By the weekend, #SteveBannon, #Trump’s former adviser, had called H-1Bs a “scam” and said that Musk’s defense of highly skilled immigrants is showing his “true colors.”

Liar-In-Chief strikes again.

As a businessman, Trump just praised the visa program. "I have many H-1B visas on my properties, I've been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It's a great program."

As a politician, he has criticized it. In 2016, #Trump called the program “very bad” and “unfair” for U.S. workers. Three months after taking office, he issued an executive order that directed changes to ensure that #h1bvisas were awarded to “superior” candidates.

Musk is in charge, Trump knows his funding will ensure that he can have anything he wants while in the WH, after all, Musk bought him the presidency. Trump admits that he’s used H1-B visas at his properties, & will likely make certain that Musk gets all the H1-B visas he’d like for his businesses. MAGA voters’ feelings & endorsements no longer matter. They were useful when Trump needed the “subtards”.

"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.

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 argument: U.S. immigration restrictions are too burdensome, and Canada offers more immigrant-friendly policies, a growing tech sector and favorable geography to the U.S. market. The campaign worked.
