Not all foreign visas are the same.

Farm work visas fill a gap where Americans don't want to work.

Tech work visas don't fill a gap, they replace a perfectly willing and able American from a $75,000 job with an Indian to make $25,000 job for corporate profits.

The two are not the same.

My point is you sound like liberals did during the Biden administration as they rationalized an open border when you post, "good luck finding Americans willing to work".

Seriously, how many times did we hear assholes on the Left say shite like that? "They're only doing jobs that Americans won't do!"

And here you are parroting them now.


Nope. I said they are all here LEAGALLY. Not the same thing the Biden administration was saying at all.

second time youve posted this yet no poster on this site has mentioned nancy or chuck besides you.

Are you surprised that Trump voters that now are on Nancy's side on the immigration issue aren't excited about that? You're embarrassed about it, right?

No you’re delusional bringing up this Nancy thing again when none of us have mentioned her or there have been no other posts besides yours about Nancy pelosi. Starting to think you have a weird thing for her.

But the rationale is the same. You get that, right?

Moreover, if someone is here on an H1B visa that's outside the limitations of the law, technically they're not here illegally but then that's also how we got 10 million illegals across the border "seeking asylum".

lmao - moment, do you think I've mentioned Nancy a jillion times because it's clear that you are f'n embarrassed about taking up her side on this position?

FFS you've been in these threads a shite ton more than me. You know how it works.

No it's not. There is nothing wrong with legal work visas.

They need to go back. You're trying to conflate the two.

We're not talking about legality here. I have not posted anything about throwing someone with a different POV in jail.

As far as your rationale goes, it's precisely the liberal's rationale for the open border. You used the same f'n words in the same order as them.

No.

We can agree that the millions of illegals are here because of our asylum laws being warped in practice, right?

Well, the H1B visa law clearly states that visas should not be granted in cases where Americans can fill the jobs, though perhaps at higher wages. So in practice, the H1B program is being warped in the same way the asylum laws are given the program is largely about cheaper foreign labor for employers.

So potentially 1000s of jobs available?

Where's the celebration?

I talked to a crawfish farm land owner. It is nothing like illegal slave labor. All workers have to be paid a minimum and there's all kinds of documentation they have to provide the government. He said they just can't get local young people to work.

Yes! The paperwork is expensive and complicated. Plus your facilities are inspected.

lmao - that's what the meat packers, framers, roofers and all sorts of other industries say through their liberal mouthpieces to rationalize importing loads of cheap foreign labor.
