She recounts here how she got a job that she needed, and it turned out the workplace was filled mostly with far-right conservatives, and she was petrified. It turned out that they were uniformly supportive, friendly, kind and treated her with respect and as a valued colleague.
Lots of political and online pundit types in every camp have a strong interest in convincing people that those in other political camps are hateful to the point of caricature purely because that demonization is a form of control to keep people in line for all sorts of self-interested benefits relating to power and profit.
A Brazilian gay woman who grew up in left-wing politics believed -- because she was taught -- that those on the right, especially bolsonaristas, hated her and wanted to murder her for being gay.

Silicon Valley wanted indentured servants who wouldn't Job hop. Also defacto age discrimination... and foreign workers don't know their rights.
But will radical Democrats overturn it if they take the WH in 2 years?
Not all, but some of these H1B visa applicants went on to steal trade secrets for China and others.

It didn't stay with Silicon Valley tech workers either, the H1B scam spread to every sector in the nation eventually. People working at 7-11 were on H1-B visas lmao, if you found out a company was using H1-Bs, you couldn't just not shop there, because their competitors were using them too. There was no 'boycotting' that was possible.

There are no 7-Elevens in North Dakota
They are among 11 states and territories that do not have any 7-Elevens.

Will no longer be able to get H1-Bs or use the PERM program
The top 4 are the worst offenders in my lifetime. They have been responsible for the replacement of American tech workers out of Silicon Valley with foreign workers since 2001. How it took this long to stop this was effing mind boggling. Crazy thing about it is that the H1-B was created out of thin air...there was no legislation created so that meant there was zero congressional oversight.
What made me so angry was the scam was being sold to Americans that these companies using H1-Bs was because there wasn't enough talented Americans to take these jobs, so they needed to bring in Foreign labor. That was always a lie. It blew up in their face when Vivek Ramaswamy did a full facial on twitter a year ago when he was talking about how lazy American labor was. That's why even though I'm conservative I hope Vivek loses by 30 pts in the Ohio Gov election.

I will just say: the job market in tech was great 5-10 years ago and now it's not and I don't think this has anything to do with H1-Bs.

Tell that to hi-tech workers who were laid off, and bonuses / severance tied directly to videotaped 'knowledge transfer sessions' with their Indian or Chinese replacements.

I've been laid off twice in tech in the last five years. It had little to do with H1-Bs and a lot to do with stock price and vulture capitalists threatening the leadership with a hostile takeover unless they made cuts.

I don't believe this. How do you know he was not not let go because he was bad at his job?
