1. Immigrants aren't invaders.
2. We need more immigrants, period—including H1Bs.
3. The tech bros are realizing they created a monster.
4. The MAGA implosion is wonderful to watch.

I recall that the tech bros only jumped on the MAGA train in 2024, with J.D. Vance's Silicon Valley connections being key. They already knew about Trump's anti-immigrant stance but still preferred him over Harris due to his stances on regulation and antitrust.
It’s a scam filled program with more than 1000 fake colleges and universities issuing degrees, foreign contractors using shills during interviews - all so companies can pay a near minimum wage to workers who can’t quit

- company “providing housing” at 2 employees per bedroom, the cost is withheld from their checks.
- companies crafting worker requirement for far more years experience than a product has existed to argue for H1B workers instead.

H1B allows companies to sidestep this by using foreign workers instead of Americans.
I have has product managers say they will not hire anyone over 40.

That’s when they get rid of you. The bigotry in tech is the primary reason they want H1B.

When companies claim no Americans are qualified, it’s solely due to age, gender, race, and lgbtq.
