Article does not give a single specific example of a senior engineer laid off in order to hire a (cheaper and more pliant) junior engineer. Is that so hard to do? There is a claim that every department was affected, but again, no specifics. Were H-1Bs hired to replace people across departments, or were they hired in specific departments?<p>Looks like someone just decided to pick USCIS numbers in support of their argument that the intention is to reduce compensation and exploit workers, but failed to provide any substantive evidence, or even a cogent argument.
How many laid-off workers are H-1B owners though? You cannot just assume Tesla laid off 100% US workers then hired foreign labors to fill the gap. This is not an apple to apple comparison.
Without any numbers to this, it is meaningless. "Some" could be 2 H1B visas and there is nothing to say these people were laid off in order to hire 2 new people.<p>But, I guess bandwagoners are going to bandwagon.
Populations don’t just vanish because they are not some oligarchs employee.<p>Lay off all Americans and they can stand their ground collectively against a handful of aged like moldy cheese people.<p>Physics rules the world not our dipshit philosophy.
