The H1B program is literally about bringing in scabs who will work for less. That’s it. Cheap labor. And this guy wants more of it.

    That is a weird take. Republicans are against illegal immigration. The party isn’t anti-immigrant. Elon is an immigrant. They’re asking to increase a visa limit.

      I sometimes see the statement like yours but since asylum is a legal process and most of their stuff has been around it. I find this hard to believe.

        Most of them are not claiming asylum. That’s a new scam. Asylum cases are mostly rejected.

        You find it hard to believe Elon is an immigrant? He’s from South Africa. That’s not a state or territory

          Are most of them not claiming asylum or most of the claims being rejected? You sound like your talking out of both sides of your mouth. One is saying they are not claiming asylum and the other suggest they are but they don’t have standing and are being disingenuous abut it to scam the system.

            Both. Most people over stay visas. That’s the largest group of illegal aliens.

            The ones claiming asylum are mostly rejected. Alyssum isn’t I want an American job. It’s a set of criteria which most don’t meet.

              yeah I just never hear about the over stay visa thing. Most seems to revolve around the stunts like bussing folk to major cities. curiously a lot of times the local area just wants the federal government to give them authorization to work.

                You didn’t hear any arguments when Trump was blabbing about his wall 8 years ago? Most immigrants enter via airports.

                I think people focus on the wrong issue. For some reason people focus on the illegal immigrant rather the the companies employing them. Make it a crime with a prison sentence for the ceo for hiring illegal aliens. Once we show we have a need to workers. Make it easier to get a visa to come work.

                I get annoyed everyone wants to focus on Latino workers just trying to get ahead In life. The focus should be on the companies

                  I completely agree. This was actually the track obama mostly took.

      Legal immigration is the problem. My wife had to go to 2 major cities, while passing through others, to take required tests, 12-14 hour round trips. She was married to an American for 2-years, married to one now (me), which should be a rubber stamp on her 10-year visa. She has to constantly fight various government agencies. Years of expense and hassle just to continue her visa, not even for citizenship.

      Send requested documentation. Wait 4-6 months. Be told she didn’t include documentation that wasn’t asked for in the first place. Rinse and repeat for years.

      Wonder who slashed funding for immigration services? Perhaps we’ll never know.

      And if Republicans are truly anti illegal, tell me why they’re not cracking down on illegal employers. The problem would instantly disappear. Going to need an answer to that.
