Donald Trump’s biggest fans are at each other’s throats over immigration, and H-1B visas in particular.

    We should never have visas tied to employment. It’s too abuse-prone. Give people 5-year visas, and after that, citizenship.

    Many employers will fuck with imported labor if given the chance. This hurts honest employers and destroys lives.

      That was why the H1-B program was designed the way it is.

      I work at an MSP and we have a user that gets stuck in his native country for a few months every few years when his visa expires. Getting him set up remotely to work in situations like that is nearly impossible. I’m just waiting for the day he tells us that he’s stuck there for good. Poor guy just wants to do his job

        Yeah it’s so fucking abusive, by the country, not the company. If he’s that good, FFS he deserves citizenship yesterday.

        Meanwhile he’s just kicking it, getting paid in Pakistan like oops I can’t get a connection again. Let’s try tomorrow.

        I’m just kidding. Nothing against Pakistanis but everything against corporations. What the fuck is an MSP? You’re just going to drop that like we should know what it is?

        You launch kayaks. Rich and white confirmed. Hahaha holy shit. 1 2 3 4.

        What, I mean Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven.
