Help me understand the administration angle here. I mean, obviously, it disenfranchises American workers and corps have been abusing it for 30nyears now, no news there. Is it to pressure concessions elsewhere from tech companies as the corporate-technofascist state solidifies?

Here's an article from 2022 about how when working in VC he of course invested in companies that proscribe to the visa abuse practices he's railing against: https://www.axios.com/2022/04/22/jd-vances-investments-made-use-of-h-1b-visas-he-opposes

Is the snake eating it's tail here? Is the left hand slapping the right hand? TF.

Vance will say it’s bad but not introduce any legislation against it so he can tell the people he’s for them and the corporations that nothing is going to change for them either.
