just learning this new world. life changed drastically for me in the last few years. maybe meet some new people
Amazon just applied for 10,781 H-1B visas. They don’t want to hire you, your kids, or your grandkids. They want to hire cheap foreign laborers from places like India, China, and Thailand. We will not be replaced. End of story.
@DiggingInTheDi1 We don't want to work with EITHER of them -- we have enough skilled labor in the USA. Please @realDonaldTrump we are done with foreigners stealing our jobs. We have water and macaroni for dinner. Come on, sir -- we're dying out here. No money saved. No retirement. NOTHING.
It's for real. No limit on H-1B visas for universities and their affiliated non profits. $351,780 goes a long way in Tuscon.
@vvirga Based on your assumptions: 250,000 OPT jobs/year × $65,000/year × 20 years = $325 billion in total lost wages to US grads. That's the straight math on the hypothetical.
🇮🇳India is the ONLY Country despite with more than 2 MILLION Software Engineers… But ZERO Global Dominant Social Apps Like TikTok, Tinder, WhatsApp or Instagram Only 34%of India’s population uses social media. Countries by Number of Professional Software Developers: 🇨🇳 China- ~4.04 million 🇮🇳 India- ~2.85–3.85 million 🇺🇸 United States- ~3.18 million 🇯🇵 Japan- ~1.33 million 🇧🇷 Brazil- ~0.68 million 🇩🇪 Germany- ~0.66 million 🇬🇧 UK- ~0.54 million
We basically did NINJA loans again but this time with non-US citizens Many homebuilders, such as Bloomfield Homes in Celina, TX offered access to FHA loans for H-1B visa holders through their preferred lenders until May of 2025, when Trump had HUD shut these lending practices down Some of these FHA loans offered 100% financing through a combination of a standard FHA loan and access to State assisted first time homebuyer grants for the 3% downpayment Yes, you read that correctly, your tax dollars funded home-buying grants for non-US Citizens during the Biden administration Is it just a coincidence that home prices began falling at a rapid pace in Celina, TX almost immediately after Trump shut this program down? How many people bought a brand new home with zero money down at peak 2022-2024 pricing? You won’t see an impact at a national level, but you WILL see it in certain markets with a lot of H-1B tech workers and new construction
@JosephJacks_ They literally just fire Americans and hire H1B Indians.
H-1B should only be used to fill extraordinary gaps in our workforce. It was not meant for the wholesale displacement of Americans in their own industries. Time for a long, long H-1B pause.
Trump is planning to raise H-1b minimum salaries, and to make them 25~30% more expensive next year. The plan awaits Dept of Labor approval. msn.com/en-us/money/ma…
