smeg<p>I think H1B visas should stay with the worker, not the employer. If the case is that this worker is highly skilled and should be allowed in, then they should be able to remain if somehow the employer fails to take advantage of them correctly. It would incentivize companies to use H1Bs in the intended fashion (for highly skilled workers, not to undermine the domestic labor market), and it would reduce the exploitation caused by people living under precarious visas.</p><p><a href="https://assortedflotsam.com/tags/h1b" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>h1b</span></a> <a href="https://assortedflotsam.com/tags/usimmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>usimmigration</span></a> <a href="https://assortedflotsam.com/tags/H1BVisa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>H1BVisa</span></a></p>

Adrianna Tan<p>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. </p><p>Across the world, people who work in tech hubs: have similar profiles, backgrounds, education, experience, and a lot more mobility than most others. </p><p>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. </p><p>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. </p><p>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. </p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Immigration</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/H1B" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>H1B</span></a></p>
