H1B is a generally racist program to begin with... abolishing it is the natural anti-immigration move if its all vibes... there is no correct signal for whose side you are on. So then the conversation gets reframed to "secret HR ethnic mafias in tech" which... nepotism has always been legal man - ThreadSky

"you can't eat your cake and have it too," so to speak. you can't both impose yourself as the anglo-american ruling class and remove the forces that make you the ruler, you have deceived yourself that you are not the ruler, your only choice is to gut your own internal power structures

what do you do then, kill HR itself? it sounds nice on face. but the right wing alternative to HR is no intermediary and your manager just tells you to go wherever home is, and the paperwork to bring on a foreign worker becomes another unseen stack of paper at USCIS

and I can hear you saying that's a slippery slope argument, but I don't think it is, that's the bait. everyone who says "they should come in the right way" doesn't know what that means. challenge them on how they would come to the US like their ancestors, which kind of visa, no answers are possible

fascism is generally concerned with removal of restraints through the fusion of public and private capital to just "get things done," which will probably also apply to internal workplace controls. hatred of HR is universal; what should exist in its place is not so much

if you kill DEI, programs like H1B, etc. HR gets whittled down to a rubber stamp of whether or not you have the legal papers to work, and at that point it just becomes managerial responsibility. everyone is going to hate this

i think more likely than eliminating foreign workers, is this sort of situation everywhere- the social limiters on the exercise of power by capital are gone. bad menial laborers get sent to immigrant camps; bad 'citizens' become homeless and subject to policing
