Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she will introduce a bill to end H-1B visas, which allow companies to bring skilled foreign workers, days after Donald Trump backed the program.

    Ending H-1B will only further accelerate domestic layoffs for outsourced talent. 🙄

        mostly pessimism as I watch colleagues slowly get laid off for AI or off-shore dev work (i’m a software engineer). I suppose If they have to offshore anyways, might as well go all in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        To be clear I, personally, don’t have any problem with H-1Bs i’m just pessimistic on what companies will take as an action item from this. Man, i’m just pessimistic about software engineering as a career in general lately.

          So you have no idea how it affects you, despite it being something that affects your career…

          And instead of doing any type of basic research, you’re just making random guesses nd hoping for the best?

          I’m shocked you have a job to worry about losing

            Guy, it’s a Lemmy post, I am not running for office. People are allowed to have opinions without them being fully fledged thesis papers.

              You said it’s something that concerns you…

              In the time you’ve spent making random guesses and defending your own ignorance, you could have learned about it…

      There is no law of nature that could not be taxed accordingly, too, but the country needs to have this option presented as part of the conversation.

      That threat is always thrown out there to keep people from questioning H-1B as if we need to answer to wayward corporations, instead of the other way around…
