#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.

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.

We are super hungry for workers | @destiny, David of America & Peter Boghossian
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.

"Elon Musk is flat-out wrong when he says the #H1B programme is “broken”. It is functioning as intended: Permitting corporations to underpay foreign workers, snub American professionals, and mint money....
...The Musk-MAGA clash has revealed two contentious issues: That the US suffers from a “#STEM crisis” and that racial bias drives all H-1B critics. Both notions are false. "
Which restaurants are sponsoring H-1B visas for their waiters?
(Obviously, Trump has no idea what an H-1B visa is or how it works. He's just babbling as usual.)

H-1B visa program should allow highly competent people from engineers to restaurant waiters to come into the US, says President Trump.

"Why Legal Immigration to the US Is Nearly Impossible" details all the US immigration rules, types/visas and the insane amount of process, paperwork and time required to get through any of them. Filled with insightful graphs and hundreds of references. This is a link that must be bookmarked for future reference to consult on the minutiae of US immigration, jargon or stats.

You're being lied to about the #H1B visa being necessary to hire the exceptional person that there are maybe only a few of in the whole world. Einsteins. The only people who can figure out the next needed innovations who they say without which, entire industries would come to a halt. There are separate visas for that.
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.

@josephcox this is the real reason for the #H1B visa support: no american engineers are going to want to work for companies like #Meta / #Facebook and #X any more
@GottaLaff The lithium is necessary, but putting it there was for only for tax breaks, hateful laws, easy access to #H1B workers to trap into serfdom, and dangerously lacking regulation of all sorts.
One #H1B argument is that they have to look outside of the US because they just can't find the right combination of skills here. Well then doesn't supply and demand argue that the employer who needs to do that should be willing to pay multiple times what they'd pay a similar but not exactly skilled person in America? They need the only person/people who can do the job in the whole world. They must be worth millions. Or you could train up your current staff or an American.
