. . A FLAWED MORALITY. While bringing allegedly top talent from around the world to the United States sounds good on its face, this isn’t actually what H1B visas do.

The O-1 visa is actually the program used to grant legal work status to a foreign nation in the United States that is considered a ‘once-in-a-generation’ intellectual talent in a critical industrial sector.

H1B visas apply more to workers with skills that native-born Americans can easily learn through technical training programs or even collegiate classes. Think more programmer or mid-level software engineer than someone trained in semiconductor fabrication.

Even more concerning is that the big tech companies routinely abuse H1B visas as part of a scheme to suppress the wages of both American and foreign workers while maximizing shareholder profits.

Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice ramped up enforcement of visa rules after a pattern emerged in which tech companies artificially create the appearance of a domestic work shortage to increase their H1B allotments. This ultimately resulted in native-born workers being laid off and replaced two or threefold by cheaper foreign H1B workers. . .

To say the things they're saying is insane and patently false. These billionaires themselves admit the education system is flawed in the US. Half of them are college dropouts. Why cant they do something truly philanthropic and put it towards building out a new education models? They rail against woke Harvard and Stanford, but oversaw the downfall of San Fransisco outside their office windows essentially.

When Elon says "super motivated" that's bs corporate speak for "excepting lower than standard pay", that it. All they want is cheaper pay, which is also crazy because between AI and these robots we got coming NO ONE will have a job anyway.

They'll accept lower pay to maintain their visa but also typically push for a lofty title which they will then use to scam their way into a better position making more money. Rinse and repeat.

At my last company we hired a helpdesk guy at the India office. He worked for peanuts but his title - Senior Executive IT Analyst. He literally did desktop support but pushed for that title even agreeing to less money. He was a absolute fucking retard too.

He quit after 8 months and got hired by some big international firm.

They do the same shit here too. Overheard two jeets at a bar one time talking about how one would list the other guy as an employee making 200k a year at his subway franchise so he could get a business loan to open his own franchise.

Literally everything they do is a fucking scam and they have no business being here in America.
