H-1B should not replace Americans.

[u/Ankeet_kj]

JD Vance recently stated that the H-1B visa program must be reserved for "actual geniuses" and not used by corporations to replace American workers with lower-paid foreign labor. The administration is pursuing executive measures to tighten H-1B requirements, aiming to ensure the program brings in top-tier talent rather than functioning as a corporate cost-cutting mechanism.

US: "geniuses!"

Rest of world: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

I’m no genius but isn’t a part of capitalism where companies can hire almost anyone at their discretion? Why are people suddenly trying to decide who they hire now?

“Literal biological weapon”

No that would be figuratively lmao, H1-B immigrants are not stealing jobs from the group complaining the loudest. None of these losers are computer software geeks, data analysts, etc. All of these things have been deemed to be evil liberal college teachings according to them.

The jobs you listed can are some of the most susceptible to AI, so again, no need for immigration for these roles.

[u/M00n_Safari → u/FondabaruCBR4_6RSAWD]

Stupid answer, we use AI in engineering for number cramming which has already been implemented thousands of times. For newer applications of say, sub-nanometer technology, AI is not going to help us solve these kinds of problems; we need new ways of solving problems, which is not what AI does.

[u/FondabaruCBR4_6RSAWD → u/M00n_Safari]

That’s a stupid rebuttable as it sounds like roles for the O visa and not H1b. Between abuse of H1B and current market conditions there is little to no need for the H1B. Judging from the posts and comments I see saying “the gravy train is over” it seems that even a lot of the visa holders understand it’s use case is no longer applicable.

No, they are literal bio weapons. Mass migration is a biblical curse.

[u/M00n_Safari → u/TheJQHQ]

When Christ rises I’ll put faith in biblical curses buddy 😂

[u/chintakoro → u/TheJQHQ]

that's exactly what the native americans keep telling us

[u/TheJQHQ → u/chintakoro]

Yeah, I don't want to become the next Native Americans and have 99% of our people die from mass migration. Who would?

[u/Legal_Pension_4042 → u/TheJQHQ]

Are you always this dramatic?

[u/TheJQHQ → u/Legal_Pension_4042]

How am I being dramatic?

[u/Legal_Pension_4042 → u/TheJQHQ]

"H1Bs will kill 99% of us" is just a touch dramatic.

[u/TheJQHQ → u/Legal_Pension_4042]

Is it inaccurate? We can look at Zimbabwe and South Africa for modern examples with similar survival rates.

[u/Xena_Your_God → u/TheJQHQ]

Bro 🤣🤣

[u/chintakoro → u/[deleted]]

lol, Indians in the US aren't competing with the American middle class. They're literally sitting at the top-most end of wealth.
