I don’t care what political side you’re on, anyone who is weird about any immigrants including H-1B workers is not a good ally. You don’t get to only support the immigrants you like who might not ‘take your well paid job’.

I’ve seen so many BS excuses about H-1B fraud from leftists that’s just thinly veiled racism and xenophobia and nationalistic economic protectionism

Those people make frothing at the mouth republicans seem more friendly. At least they’re not pretending to be your friend

Frankly I’m tired of many leftists and liberals pretending their anti-H1B rants are praxis instead of just anti-immigrant / Indian sentiment

@skinnylatte the thing to do if you think your job is endangered is to travel to India and make friends with people there. Talk about a land of opportunity where hard work is rewarded! (And with great food!) make friends and help your friends negotiate for higher pay. Level the income differentials across the world, without war. Meet brilliant people from all over. 1/2

@jayalane fundamentally I’m not ok with people from the west restricting the movement of others, even in this genteel and nice version

@skinnylatte I am not for restricting movement. Money flows around, workers should also have that power. I was addressing computer folks in the US that are afraid of loosing their jobs. They should visit India. People from India who want to come to the US to work are good too but I would not position myself to advise them. Except about software and US corporations. But the US folks are overly fearful compared to the facts.

@skinnylatte the principal of mobility is important to defend, as it is a pretty big looming fight, even more so than currently: even optimistic solutions to ending the carbon burn involve peacefully finding new places for a billion or so people to move to as their homes become flooded or excessively hot.
