    Hm, I have my issues with the H-1B visas, but when this administration accuses others of fraud, red flags go up.

    Also, green cards? WTAF? I was thinking that sounded very, uh, contradictory, and of course:

    Doug Rand, a former senior adviser at USCIS during the Biden administration, called Vance’s announcement “incoherent.”

    “If the Trump administration were truly concerned that H-1B workers are ‘indentured servants,’ then the last thing they would do is block companies from helping their own H-1B workers get green cards,” he said. “Once you have a green card, you’re no longer dependent on your employer for your immigration status — you’re a permanent resident who can change jobs and negotiate higher wages without fear.”

    Incoherent, indeed.

    If you don’t like H-1B program and its abuse, getting workers a green card is so much better, in my view. You should want that talent to stay here and have autonomy, FFS. Unless you are just railing against H-1Bs because you are a nativist dumbass.

    What is Vance even doing?
