Meanwhile both of the, Apple especially, kissing Trump's ass and licking round the hole. Ballroom Atrocity, sponsored by Big Tech, tells me which companies to avoid.

Ah yes. "Come work for us, also you never get to on holiday or visit your family ever again" is sure to be a big draw for foreign workers.

Trump sure knows what's good for the economy.....

Not only never go on holiday or see your family ever again, but crucially "you better be loyal/work harder than citizens lest we fire you and your visa expires."

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

he knows whats good for him personally and anything epstein related which he wants to get far away as possible from. IVANKA is also his concern.

Less visa workers the better. Companies need to stop bringing in foreign workers to replace American labor. Fuck Trump on everything else, but the worker visa program is a disgrace

Visa workers aren't replacing American workers, they supplements them. Workers on visas are a pain in the ass. No company is ever gonna hire a non permanent resident if there's an equally qualified native citizen available for the position.

Countless studies have shown that immigrant labour is a boon to the economy, and immigrants statistically create demand for more jobs than they take.

Foreign workers are also a massive boon to tax income. Some other country spent 18 years paying for their income less childhood and education, and then they leave that country, and start paying taxes in America.

Tell that to the THOUSANDS of unemployed IT workers who have been replaced by cheaper foreign labor. Walk into almost any IT department and it's Indians all the way down. Companies need to be throttled back from just importing slave labor on visas because they're cheaper and they can control them.

Those aren't visa workers genius, those are outsourced foreign workers

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago

They should leave. Who knows what senseless cruelty the regime will inflict upon the innocent? It is best to leave before the shield of civility and foreign relations has completely shattered.

That's funny.

Leaving the U.S. is the safest thing they can do for themselves.

[–] e461h@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Same for everybody as far as that goes

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

we call it enslavement.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 44 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm a US citizen and my wife is not. My grandparents are not long for this world. If one of them pass, I will be going to the US alone because I am terrified my wife, who speaks little English, will end up in some ICE camp. It's horrifying and heartbreaking.

I know one person in this exact scenario who actually brought the family here before all this shit happened and now feels trapped.

Why would I trust the big corporations that has been actively helping the Trump Administration? Call me paranoid, but I think there's going to be a big crackdown at silicon valley soon

[–] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 25 points 3 days ago

"We're going to get real racist on people like you, so don't leave".

Stay Here Forever vs. Leave And Never Come Back

As if having a visa or even being a citizen would somehow guarantee they won't kidnap and send you to El Salvador anyway.

E.g. see people from Venezuela here legally who got put into "illegal status" anyway due to orange man policies.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago
