It’s not the skills they’re looking for when they’re hiring h1bs in tech. It’s the ability to underpay due to the threat of deportation without their sponsorship as an employer that they want.
You can get the skills here. But you have to pay for them. These greedy shits don’t want to do that.
Not just underpaying, there’s the general ability to abuse employees that guys like Musk love. An American or permanent resident will be more likely to tell you to fuck off with your stupid idea or when your ask someone to work for 48 hours straight. Someone on a H1B visa doesn’t have that privilege (which isn’t a privilege, it should be a right).
Yep. Remember when Muck first bought Twitter and laid off everyone, and everyone who didn’t get laid off quit all at once? The workers that remained and kept Twitter afloat and online were H1B employees. They remained because the threat of deportation and/or death hung constantly over their head like the sword of Damocles. Muck loves H1B employees specifically because of their abuse potential.
It’s supposed to be. According to law an H1B employee should be treated with the same rights as someone who is a citizen or a permanent resident. You’re supposed to document that no citizen would take the job. In practice it’s difficult for H1B employees to change jobs because of the limited window to find a new employer so they can easily be manipulated and abused.

So it was free market capitalism bringing in immigrants all along. Who knew?
