I have a lot of friends having trouble finding work in the tech sector right now who are really struggling. It gets really hard to veer them out of reactionary thought about primarily Indian H-1B workers.
So many people like this in Canada about the temporary foreign worker program, specifically about Indian workers as well.
I direct people to get mad at companies and not workers.

Isn’t that the one the tech bros love?

A lot of capitalists (Elon, Intel) like it too. Trump is tariffing the border of both goods and labor, so the costs are gonna spike.
Precisely. Where ever will they be able to find a hundred thousand dollars for an indentured servant who suddenly has no other employment options?
Employers.
Yep, that is the visa category that caused a division in the MAGA coalition last December. The tech fascists that employ people wanted H-1B for cheap exploitable labor, while the rest of the MAGA was of the opinion that they were visas for immigrants to come in, so must be opposed.
Contradictions heightening like a goddamned game of Jenga
Or hate, potentially. The skilled worker visa.
We’re proimmigrant until it comes to Indians
Proimmigrant? Nah, pro cheap, abusable labor.
Nah, pro cheap, abusable labor.
That characterizes many, many immigrants.

Honestly, I expect that if there’s less H-1B tech workers, companies will be hiring as many Indians, just Indians living in India and not the US.
H-1B’s primary benefit is control of the workers, but I don’t think they’ll give up on cheap skilled labor over it.
I have a coworker that had to return to their home country due to an emergency. They are now trying to get a visa to come back while they are working remotely. This would indicate that might be especially difficult now. I don’t know for sure of this is the kind of visa they had before, bit it seems pretty likely.
no problem. everything america needs can be made with american skills and training.
looking forward to my new job at the re-zoning and gentrfying industrial real estate factory, making bloated, vacant assets for rich people to hold when the currency hyperinflates.
This is gonna kill the H1-B program, further accelerating amerikkka decline
more red meat for the more explicitly white supremacist column
Looking forward to getting 2+ tech jobs again lol
