Elon dropped his mask for a minute and a lot of conservatives including MAGA saw him for what he really is. He can't undo that.

Yes he's spoken...out of both sides of his mouth.

Donald Trump is very flexible. Quite refreshing after what we've endured with Mr. Joe "Period!" Biden in the White House.

The NON-DIPLOMATIC FRANK CANDIDNESS of Elon Musk is very refreshing too!

You know what also sounds good and fair? Allowing people into this country seeking asylum.
In theory, all the people crossing the boarder are just as legal as H1Bs.

H1B sounds like a good idea......

But in practice, 90% of the time, it's used to cut wages of American workers.
People were pulling up the stats all over twitter.

It used to be as businesses made more money, workers also made more money. It's an argument I heard over and over again here on ATS. That stopped happening the past few decades and now all the money is concentrated in the CEOs (not even the shareholders but the executives).

Now, instead of making engineering super, super lucrative, they are just importing people to cut wages or keep wages from rises.

Employers straight up break the law and say they can't fill positions with Americans or even worse. In the case of Facebook, they explicitly told staff they could only hire Americans if they couldn't find a H1B.

And this culture of law breaking continues with their employment. Some of the most blatant racism I have seen comes from people associated with the H1B program.

Yes, of course unrepentant racists should be removed....
Racists like Vivek - who brags that foreign born Asian workers and their children are better employees?

If you don't have X then you can't see both sides of the argument. You'll be led to believe this is just another smear campaign by liberal media. It's not.

If you can follow the link, this is a pretty thorough breakdown of the program. Might be eye opening

Here you can scroll to see how much Tesla's used (abused) visas. Probably why he's defending it tooth and nail. Musk doesn't hire American workers. So how is this putting America First? Making America Great Again?

All this talk about H1B undercutting American wages and acing Americans out of jobs. Can somebody show actual proof and facts? Like how much less wages? How many jobs? 😬 Surely there's some real proof somewhere.

From Banana News network:




The controversy is:
Some people are claiming that we NEED H1B visas because they fill in critical jobs that we can't fill with Americans. Sounds good.

People started looking further into it and found out that many companies have abused the system. They have mass fired people and then rehired H1B visa people because they can be paid almost half the amount. Their visas are also tied to their work, so if they get fired, they get sent back home. There is enormous incentive for them to work as slaves because of the pressure.

Importing a foreign workforce destroys the wage floor for Americans

Elon Musk said he would make war against those who are against H1B visas. He owns the Twitter-X, so it's his call.

As long as Elon supports actions against all the top-tier scum dating back to 2016, I'm in his corner. Retribution against those criminals is my #1 priority/want/desire from the incoming admin.

In 2016 H-1B was bad for American workers but today it's wonderful? What's changed between 2016 and now that suddenly makes it a great program?

He's got Gavin Newsom's support. That's always a good sign.

So much for free speech, huh?

I'm not holding my breath for retribution or any true justice. Each new development I'm seeing from Trump makes me lose hope every passing day. I sense a big rug pull coming. It'd be great to be proven wrong.

IMO-His Admin officials won't let Trump go soft this time, like he did with Hillary in 2017.

I did my work on an H1-B visa in Philadelphia and then got the hell of the US.

South Africans, Indians and some Canadians did the technical work, Americans were the "managers". They treated us like crap but we got the job done. We were just the hired help.

Never want to go back. The Canadians were cool.

Yes, I know not all Americans are a-holes, but that was just my experience.

I'm thankful the USA was blessed with your talent(s), and not an adversary nation.
