Reply to comment by jashsayani in Tech Layoffs Set the Clock Ticking for Foreign Workers by buncley

“… it’s a diversity based system. People need to understand that.”

Lol says Jash Sayani, who is either from India himself or his parents are from there, and who likely held the very same H1B at some point.

Sure buddy

Your reply makes no sense. He is right in saying the green card system is loosely diversity based. That’s why they have per-country limits especially in employment-based GCs. Your response neither provides evidence otherwise, nor is relevant to his point. Just a spiteful comment.

Do you want a disproportionate number of immigrants coming from a particular country?

That's the thing, they're already in the US. They've been here for years if not decades. They just don't have a green card or voting rights. You either also implement a per country cap on H-1B or remove it from green card altogether. This business of having it on the green cards (which gives immigrants their rights and bargaining power) but not on H-1B disproportionately tilts power in favor the companies.

Tech companies get to have their cake and eat it too under the current system. In other words, business as usual...
