Democratic Sen. John Fetterman said during an interview on Thursday that he hopes members of his party know it is not "xenophobic" to be worried about the southern border.
It’s pretty standard in all countries for a work visa to be tied to your sponsorship by a particular employer, but you’re right, it puts the employee in a terrible position. I’d like to see the US lead a movement to liberalize this visa category.
H1b is the worst of the worst. It provides no path to citizenship and if the person loses their job, they have short window In which they have to leave.
If they’re are that special and High skilled, we should have a visa that just lets them work for anyone.
I’ve just seen so much abuse with the h1b. It’s soured me on it.
Is it important that it does? Or maybe I don’t understand what it means to not have a path to citizenship. Like you can’t ever naturalize if you’re here on H1b, ever?
The path to citizenship should be the same for everyone regardless of national origin, it seems to me, and it shoudn’t be related to how you’re in the country, or even if you are to start with. I think someone on a tourist entry should have the same path to citizenship, if they want it.
If they’re are that special and High skilled, we should have a visa that just lets them work for anyone.
I agree with this. I’d expand it - I think if you hold a passport from the US, Canada, the EU, Japan, or Australia you should be in a Shengen-like arrangement that allows you free movement and employability in any of those countries.
Correct. They can never naturalize under an h1b. That’s why employers have so much power over an h1b person. Rarely are they “high” skilled. They’re just a chance to have power over an employee.

Then I agree, it’s a flawed program.
