Will “mass deportation” actually happen (2 Viewers)

[superchuck500]

It’s so repulsive to see people cheering for what is basically 80% the same thing as the Holocaust - different end result but otherwise very similar.

Economists have said it would tank the economy and cause inflation - notwithstanding the cost.

Is it going to actually happen or is this Build The Wall 2.0?

 

[Texan1211]

Are you assuming that those Central American countries don’t also have immigration laws?

Go on - tell us which country you’re going to enter legally and how you intend to comply with that country’s laws. Please reference the particular national and local statutes you will follow to ensure your proper entry.

Be sure to note which countries you will need to pass through on your journey towards your intended destination country, and the particular national and local statutes of those countries you will be in full compliance with as you pass through, as well.

Do you want me to start from any particular place?

What makes you think that people who get F1 visas and/or have advanced degrees in other countries are by default well off?

A bit of an extreme to illustrate the point, but in Cuba, the streets are littered with doctors and lawyers... and they all are poor as hell.

More appropriate, India, where you can get a STEM degree for close to nothing in a public university.

Normally, people who are well off in other countries don't want to go to the U.S. to work the hours and not have vacation. They sure come to visit Disney parks, though.

And the U.S. can produce plenty of engineers... it's just that U.S. corporations choose the cheaper route of hiring either abroad or from abroad.

As for people who feel they owe the U.S.? LOL Good luck with that.

Do you think those doctors in the streets in Cuba could afford to come to the US on a F1 Visa?

Most Americans can’t afford college in the US, much less as a foreign student.

They aren’t talking about bringing H1Bs in from Havana medical school or Mumbai community college.

You have no forking idea what you are talking about.

Why the lashing out? You and Texanwhatevs, I'll tell ya...

The Cuba point, it was an example to show that not because someone gets an advanced degree in another country, it means that someone is necessarily well off.

Side note, depending on different factors, some companies will pay for the entire H1B process for a candidate.

No one said anything about foreign students getting degrees in the U.S.

Mumbai community college... LOL. I don't think they have community colleges in India as we know them in the U.S., but the University of Mumbai is a well-regarded public university in India that's very cheap for the citizens of India.

And I do have a forking idea... I worked in technology for decades, worked directly with many people with those visas, even did technical interviews for many a H1B candidate, and hey, even a few from the University of Mumbai.

Almost half of Republicans support using military to lock up immigrants in camps

Forty-six percent of Republicans support deploying the military to conduct mass deportation raids and detaining immigrants in camps

I support legal immigration, not open borders that people can run across at will. What do you people not understand there are over 4 billion people in this world that can claim they are in hardship because 4,000,000,000+ people live in poverty and oppression if we took them all in we’d be a Third World country overnight like I said, I support legal immigration and those that look like Salma Hayek.

No one is getting an H1B who went to college in Cuba or India. Why bring it up?

You have no forking idea.

Yeah they come in on L1B visas. Some of the most talented people I had on projects came from India and Pakistan on L1B visas. Also Ireland and Australia.

 

[SystemShock]

Well, probably not from Cuba, given the quality of education, but India? Are there no U.S. consulates in India?

You can apply for an H1B either if you already are in the U.S. or outside the U.S. You just do it through the local U.S. consulate.

From https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/h-1b-specialty-occupations

Step 3:
Prospective Workers Outside the United States Apply for Visa and/or Admission.
Once the Form I-129 petition has been approved, the prospective H-1B worker who is outside the United States may apply with the U.S. Department of State (DOS) at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad for an H-1B visa (if a visa is required). Regardless of whether a visa is required, the prospective H-1B worker must then apply to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for admission to the United States in H-1B classification.

BTW, U.S. corporations hire literally legions of people who graduate from universities in India. I worked for a financial institution, and even with all of the restrictions, we still had a large contingent of tech workers in India; my team we were half U.S./half India, all of them with degrees from universities in India... and I know that because I conducted technical interviews and saw the resumes. Our 24/7 NOC mostly India/Singapore.

You have no forking idea.

So you just are going to lash out and accuse me of having "no forking idea".. I shouldn't be surprised.

Yeah when I worked for an ISP there was an entire team of H1B's. I knew another personally.

You have stories like this:

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

I'm all for H1B. It just needs to be reformed. It creates a slave labor situation with it being tied directly to the employer. Elon likes it for those reasons.

 

[samiam5211]

L1Bs are for intra company transfers for multi-national companies. The only real difference between an H1B and a L1B is where it is a multinational company that the employee already works for.

I don't give a fork how qualified H1B's are. That's not the point.

Immigration should not be used as a crutch for a failing education system. I'm glad MAGA is finally seeing who their owners care about.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Your experience in this is a tiny little bubble.

 

[MT15]

You are confused. I haven’t defended it for pages and pages.

Apologies. The two of you both start with T and sing much the same tune. (I said “much” not all, lol).

The first sentence still applies to your comment.

A lot of international Companies hired top talent from India, Pakistan, and Asia for the sole purpose of bringing them to United States operations. We did it routinely. I attended a whole lot of Naturalization ceremonies.

I don't know about a slave labor situation. The people hired with H1B visa's at my company get the same pay and benefits as other employees, no difference. I would assume most technical fields are similar. These are well paying jobs that our company would likely rather hire American citizens for (because of the lack of paperwork and complexity), but just can't find educated and qualified candidates for.

But it does tie them to their job. Still, we've had people on H1B visas leave for other opportunities, so I imagine you can change jobs. Not sure how hard it is.

 

[coldseat]

I agree with this. That's what's really at the heart of the overuse of H1B visas. The same reason why so many of our nurses come from the Philippines.

We need to make the education required to pursue these fields cheaper and easier to access for Americans in lower income brackets. Then we need to encourage American children to seek careers in these fields and stop attacking professionals in general.

That's really the only thing that's going to turn the trend with H1B vises around.

I can only speak anecdotally. It was very hard to swap jobs because you had to get a new visa from the new employer. It makes these employes much less likely to quit. That's what Elon likes, and other companies actually like about it. That's what makes is slave labor. I promise you the last people to leave twitter were the H1B's.

All the people I was discussing were Indian. They all had degrees from American colleges.

 

[MT15]

Yeah, anecdotally what I have heard is that companies feel they can generally treat these visa holders worse than other employees who would have an easier time leaving the company. They give them the worst assignments, worst shifts, etc.
