Donald Trump’s biggest fans are at each other’s throats over immigration, and H-1B visas in particular.

      They’ll still manage to loot the Treasury to the tune of a few trillion and get Democrats begging them for their votes in another two years.

      Heck, not even two of them (Marj and Bobo the Qbert) seem to be able to get along - when it comes to being the Queen Qaren, there can only be one!

        The difference is obvious once you take a closer look. One of them looks like a librarian with guns, the other looks like a thawed genetic missing link.

        Fuck that shit they are the fucking same.

    We should never have visas tied to employment. It’s too abuse-prone. Give people 5-year visas, and after that, citizenship.

    Many employers will fuck with imported labor if given the chance. This hurts honest employers and destroys lives.

      I work at an MSP and we have a user that gets stuck in his native country for a few months every few years when his visa expires. Getting him set up remotely to work in situations like that is nearly impossible. I’m just waiting for the day he tells us that he’s stuck there for good. Poor guy just wants to do his job

        Yeah it’s so fucking abusive, by the country, not the company. If he’s that good, FFS he deserves citizenship yesterday.

          This man is great at his job. He’s a pain to troubleshoot computer issues for because his computer is in mostly Chinese, so we have to have him translate a lot of it, but he doesn’t call often so it isn’t a thing we regularly deal with.

        Meanwhile he’s just kicking it, getting paid in Pakistan like oops I can’t get a connection again. Let’s try tomorrow.

        I’m just kidding. Nothing against Pakistanis but everything against corporations. What the fuck is an MSP? You’re just going to drop that like we should know what it is?

        You launch kayaks. Rich and white confirmed. Hahaha holy shit. 1 2 3 4.

        What, I mean Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven.

      That was why the H1-B program was designed the way it is.

    Their success was that they combined their forces to win the election, but each of those grifters have different goals and many of them are incompatible.

    I definitively don’t support whatever Banon is after, but I welcome the infighting.

    They will still inflict damage to the US, but hopefully the infighting will make it much harder to consolidate their power and turn US into fascist state.

    This is another “argument” that would be easily settled if things were even half as bad as the broligarchs claim (which it isn’t). All they have to do - let people PERMANENTLY migrate here from countries like India if they have certain skills. Without being the least BIT beholden to a company when they migrate, too.

    Are they proposing that? Fuck no, they aren’t. They want indentured servants at the beck and call of corporate rule, and they want them there as as threat and leverage to lower the salaries of American citizens.

    Also, for the nationalist xtians (the NatCs), I’m sure their head just about wants to explode when we are talking about more brown people here, because, at least in the Mexican or South/Central American immigrant case, chances are pretty good they will be brown, yes, but quite possibly xtian and even conservative. In the case of Indians, what are the chances they’ll be xtian?

      You give them too much credit. I’d say it goes on a scale like:

      Hates brown people - can’t distinguish between a Honduran and an Indian

      Hates brown people - Indians are fine they can’t ruin our country like Hondurans

      Hates brown people - We can make mad money off Indians and Hondurans by structuring laws that make them insecure!

      You won’t have to tell them about it because the full rectal prolapse that will become the US as a result of their infighting will negatively affect Americans for generations. You folks are in for one hell of an iron fisting by ultra conservative forces taking turns, one upping each others gape game.
