This will pretty much end the program and accelerate the hiring of WFH intetnational employees that won't pay taxes in the US.

Great for me tbh, would love to live in (certain parts) America but I'm working from home for an American company so the more start that practice the better.

I think many of us are assuming H1B only applies to workers recruited here from other countries.

If it affects students graduating US institutions, then they will be reversing this soon. I was near the Ga Tech campus yesterday, this is the top tech uni in the state, and like 80% of the students were Indian and East Asian and you could tell most are FOB student visas.

The big companies will be able to absorb the costs, but not the small and medium sized ones and startups.

Or the U.S. will just be providing world class education and training for India and China.

Naw, we have a lot of Asians but it's not 80%. It's like 20%.

I don't know what time you were at campus yesterday but the reason you saw a majority of them if it was late is because the white and black folks leave campus Friday after classes are over. The Asians have to stay on campus for obvious reasons.


But back to the topic at hand. This is nothing more than a government shakedown. They said the government can give waivers at their discretion. So you know companies will be cutting checks and giving other concessions for those waivors. Trump is basically forcing companies to give bribes. It's gonna be either bribes or more companies will just offshore directly to India instead.

It's crazy Donald Trump is running a country like he runs his businesses. A glorified racketeering operation. If the media had any integrity would examine how hostile Mr Businessman has been to small and medium sized business. Between the tariffs and this form of gate keeping because small businesses cannot afford these costs we will see closures increase therefore shutting doors and exacerbating the unemployment problem.

is there even going to be a country left when this Orange Turd finishes this term , he fukking up Import, export, the economy, healthcare free speech, and everything for everyone except for Himself and his Billionaire buddies. the way this is going now if shyt don't change by midterms , the country might start splitting up into smaller countries. Get Duolingo ,ya Passport, look into citizenship for a second passport cause it might get crazy outchea. And we gonna become the new immigrants. I think he also is going to try start a war with another country to stay in power when his term is up.

You really, really gotta understand that your perceptions of the world are not set in stone!

Remember 15 years ago, Americans were saying the Chinese can’t innovate? Now look! Chinese EVs and AI are shocking Tesla and Chatgpt.

India may develop other forms of tech industries within the next 20 years or so. Accordingly, it’s not helpful to say “Chinese can’t do X…” or “Indians can’t do Y…”

I get that but nah. India has not shown they can do that yet.

No one said the Chinese cannot manufacture. They were talking about quality / high-end goods.

Chinese also showed what they could do in places like Taiwan and Hong Kong.

India now has an economy that is bigger than the main ones in Europe and I cannot think of one major world class hardware tech company.

Ditto for indian led countries abroad.

There are structural and cultural issues that are in the way.

It’s not the same
I manage a team and it’s not the same.

For example I have this one Japanese on my team and you could not have his Japanese mind if he was born here. He has a totally different way of looking at things and solving problems.

Also you should take a look at the U.Ss ranking in education. It’s not like that’s not a factor.

Plus I’m sorry but immigrants are much more harder working people.

In any case I’m not mad at this.
One of us will be proven wrong and maybe we need to see that act out.

But this is all so Trump can make money, the people won’t see a penny from this.
I have never seen a single immigrant work harder than the Americans I know.

The vast majority of these foreign students most likely start out on OPT visas before H1B. Since it doesn't have a cap like the H1B does.

you already know that that has nothing to do with the point i made. but you had to try to say something.

in any case i'll leave it there.

Bull fukking shyt. I am a network engineer and I have worked with plenty of Indians that know jack shyt. Plus when they get in positions of management or where they can influence hiring it becomes Little India.

All of these I.T jobs can be done by Americans and should be done by Americans but greed has allowed this to happen over the last 30 years.

Of course you work hard when you are most likely stuck in a shyt contract and if you get let go back to Bangalore you go. On one job I was cool with a few of them and learned they were making 3 times less than me WITHOUT overtime, which they were working.

Of course no American wants to pick fruit but jobs paying six figures? Get the fukk out of here
