Scissors Cut Paper...

When #ICE starts #kidnapping, #abducting, #disappearing the #H1b #immigrants, that's when #BIgTech will begin to give half a damn.

I expect some of the #staff that keep #DodgerStadium a #destination ballpark are the same folks who ICE wants to round up.

Seriously, I haven't followed #baseball since the #Astros were put in the junior circuit, though, allowing for #inflation, there are probably a few #Dodgers players who make over $1M, so this is petty cash.

Don't let the #marketing fool you, this is primarily intended to #protect their #assets.

These columns of ads…not really looking for applicants underscore the challenges facing US #TechWorkers & the striking disparities in the current #immigration landscape. As restaurants, meatpackers & countless other businesses now risk having workers targeted by #ICE, #tech employers have…escaped #Trump admin scrutiny for use of #ForeignLabor. Among companies sponsoring many #H1B employees for #GreenCards …are ones aligned w/ #Trump, such as #Oracle, #Palantir & #Musk’s #Tesla.

There is even less attention given to what happens w/these foreign #workers — ¾ of whom are…from #India —when many decide they want to stay beyond the 6yr max allowed for an #H1B recipient (a 3yr term can be renewed 1X). To qualify for a #GreenCard, workers must get their employers to sponsor them via the Permanent #Labor Cert process, aka #PERM. And to do that, employers must demonstrate that they made a sincere effort to find someone else—a #UScitizen or permanent resident….

It is a process that nearly everyone involved admits is nonsensical, highly vulnerable to abuse, as well as a contributor to inequities among domestic & foreign #tech #workers.

Yet the system has endured for decades, largely out of public view. There is occasional debate over the ~120k workers from overseas who are awarded #H1B #visas every year for temporary high-skilled employment.

The #Tech Recruitment Ruse That Has Avoided #Trump’s Crackdown on #Immigration

“This ad is for a PERM filing,”she said. “A filing for a green card.”

To anybody familiar w/the #PERM system, those words meant the ad was not really intended to find applicants.…One of the most overlooked yet consequential corners of the US immigration system: the process by which employers sponsor #TechWorkers w/temporary #H1B #visas as a first step to getting them the #GreenCard….

A European teenager is three times more likely to get a visa to work at a summer amusement park than a graduate student is to receive H-1B status to work for a U.S. company on artificial intelligence. Read more at @forbes. #Immigration #Tech #Technology #Visa #H1B flip.it/3xDa0K

Filled with insightful graphs and hundreds of references. This is a link that must be bookmarked for future reference to consult on the minutiae of US immigration, jargon or stats.

I have a hot take that ultimately a lot of the kerfuffle about immigration *everywhere* is about the growing class and wage disparity of tech money and other jobs.

Across the world, people who work in tech hubs: have similar profiles, backgrounds, education, experience, and a lot more mobility than most others.

Every country’s ‘native’ population that feels left out and ignored and neglected by their own situation, finds it easy to blame the ‘foreign elite’, when it’s their own elites messing them up too.

I said it a few days ago: a software developer from Bangalore or Singapore or London or Berlin has a shorter cultural and professional distance to traverse to Silicon Valley or New York jobs and money, than someone from Fresno or Salinas. What more someone from a totally different state.

The visa gets them in, and there is some exploitation (in other ways than wages); but they aren’t the reason why ‘Americans’ aren’t getting these jobs. They’re the symptom, not the cause.

If you’ve ever applied for a #H1B visa, you’ll know that there is a publicly searchable database with the Dept of Labor that, based on your occupation and location, determines the salary floor at which your visa will be approved.

That also means, unlike people here who are spreading lies about H1B salaries, and wage slavery, you’ll be simply befuddled at the supposed terrible wages you’re receiving.

There are other exploitation problems here, but people who keep pushing this narrative aren’t helping anyone. (This is base comp and excludes stocks. DOL doesn’t care about stocks, but needs your base comp to exceed these numbers)

I don't care about your political beliefs: if your plan for 'improving legal immigration' is 'restricting the H-1B cap' and restricting rights of immigrants, instead of advocating for their rights and against employers, you are not a good ally.

You are an unsafe person who is okay with causing great harm to Americans and immigrants alike, who has fallen for a nativist lie.

If I were the evil billionaire owner of a company, I would simply outsource the works to developing countries, instead of going through the troubles of trying to get a #H1B worker to come onboard in the US. Spoiler alert: they have been doing that lol... (12/12)

Bottom line is, employers can't control if you win #H1B lottery, and they do pay quite a lot of money to get a H1B worker on board. There are safeguards, but this doesn't mean we can't be exploited. But if you mistreated me, I can also just leave, it's a two-way thing. I don't feel treated as a low-cost slave in the US. There are limitations and scary legal things but perhaps as a migrant worker I completely expected that. (11/12)

This is why you might hear stories of how the company would apply a green card for #H1B folks, but often they wait till the end of your H1B validity period (6 years) to do so... to be fair, if say the employer helps you to get a green card in year 1, and you get it, there's nothing to stop you from leaving the company.

NB: Let's say you are in the US via a student visa. You are not allowed to tell the government that you intend to immigrate to the US. If for some reason you tell them you would try to stay on in the US (say you apply for green card), you will not be allowed to enter the states next time you flying in from other countries.

#H1B allows you to have immigration intention, since, well the US do want specialists, professionals, scientists and whatnot to eventually stay on right? (9/12)
