Indians slam MAGA 'war' over H-1B skilled-worker visas as 'racist'

I really don't care what they think. I have seen Americans lose their jobs to these H-1B visa holders. That's systemic abuse, full-stop. It's not about a labor shortage; it's about corporate America manipulating the labor market to their advantage.

We had like, tech layoffs, 264,220 in 2023 to 150,034 in 2024.<p>I know a few tech people who are still unemployed after numerous layoffs.<p>And, I also know of entire departments that are all H1B at multiple fortune 500 companies, so don&#x27;t tell me they couldn&#x27;t find 1 US citizen.<p>So to me, it seems like we have some H1B fraud going on.

This article is in stark contrast to how the same issue was treated when it was about Kashmir. I guess the implicit idea is that if a foreign government does it to a population, it is bad, but if a native government does it, the same exact policy is good?<p><i>While India’s sudden decision to revoke Kashmir’s autonomy has inflamed tensions with neighboring Pakistan, critics say the move could also drastically alter the demographic composition of the disputed territory itself — and some have warned it could come to resemble Israeli settlement in the West Bank.<p>By stripping Kashmir of its special status, India’s government has done away with a law that allowed Kashmir to limit land ownership and permanent residency to natives of the country’s only Muslim majority state. Analysts say the change could bring about a profound transformation of Kashmir’s population that would exacerbate unrest there.</i><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.washingtonpost.com&#x2F;world&#x2F;2019&#x2F;08&#x2F;08&#x2F;kashmirs-new-status-could-bring-demographic-change-drawing-comparisons-west-bank&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.washingtonpost.com&#x2F;world&#x2F;2019&#x2F;08&#x2F;08&#x2F;kashmirs-new...</a>
