    The biggest misconception about immigrants is they are unskilled. The housing market absolutely needs Hispanic immigrants

    Yep. You are correct. Most Stereotypes are based in some facts

    What are you guys referencing?

    https://natlawreview.com/article/white-house-loses-house-majority-what-next-h-1b-visa-program?amp

    So Dems support and want to expand the visa program, and some Republicans want to reduce it.

    Republicans take control and now they are having a debate on the program internally. How does the conclusion wind up at Dems are r****ds?

    Would genuinely appreciate being filled in, it’s the holidays and I can’t think, so please have mercy and god bless.

    DOGE will be dead before Trump puts his hand on the Bible in January.

    Well, since Reinhard Heidrich was more-likely-than-not Jewish and was head of the Gestapo until the Poles killed him the answer is pretty clearly yes.

    Also, since there is a non-zero chance that Hitler would have met the Nazi definition of Jewish if someone had dug hard enough, seems likely.

    For Neo-Nazis, its even more clear. There have been a handful of very prominant and open and out Neo-Nazis in both Europe and America who are undeniably Jewish.

    So yes all around.

    If you ask a "question" like that to try to make a point, it is advisable to do your research in advance.

    Or some guy like Sundar Pichai, CEO Google, who started on an H-1B and is one the highest paid execs in the world, earning $226 Million in 2022 while laying off, at least, 14,000 American workers over the past 2 years. Pichai's stock awards are received every 3 years. In 2019, he received compensation of $280 Million.

    His earnings alone would be the equivalent of those 14,000 workers earning a salary of 160K-200K a year to provide for their families. Insane.

    Is it only brown guys with high CEO pay that upset them? Because.if the MAGAts want to take on CEO compensation thats a drum that the America-hating woke commie pinkos on the other side of the isle have been banging on for decades.

    There is not an excess in full stack devs but it’s at a level where it’s not hard to fill a position. The key differentiator is experience. A good lead dev is worth their weight in gold. And a good dev will leverage AI.

    AI sucks for in-depth work. I was using ChatGPT premium yesterday to assist in designing some electrical work and about an hour in it started forgetting items I told it to factor.

    There is absolutely a glut of ‘Project Managers’ because that’s a relatively new career set and not very well defined or understood by most executives. Anyone can be a ‘PM’ but good, effective PMs are much like lead level devs- they not only know how to properly frame a project, they have the experience to recognize issues and most importantly, the good ones have good people skills. And that’s something that AI can never replicate. Complex projects benefit from experienced PMs.

    I see AI engineer jobs and while they pay very well, they typically get filled fairly fast. It’s a lot like these other jobs though- experience is king.



    Don’t disagree on Ds being morons.

    Hard work is absolutely in a deficit in this country. Something may be simple but it can be hard. Example- ditch digging. It sucks. It’s simple but it’s hard AF.

    Illegals are coming in and filling those hard, dirty work positions that citizens turn their noses up at.

    Highly skilled positions that can be filled with H1-B visa holders pay much less than market in many cases. That’s why these corporate types love them.

    Not exactly sure of your thoughts on it, but I think a very large percentage of Americans, no matter their political persuasion, would...or should agree on this issue; and it doesn't matter if the H-1B holder turned billionaire CEO is a white South African or a brown Indian.

    How many billions in free $, subsidies, tax credits, etc. has Elon Musk benefitted from and received from American taxpayers and the U.S. government? We the American taxpayers made the man. Without us, he would have failed at making Tesla into a successful company. What has he done to repay us? Telling us to go "f*ck ourselves in the mouth?" He should be forced to repay the billions he took in handouts, instead of donating a comparatively paltry pittance of $250 Million to the Trump campaign, becoming a de facto authoritarian.

    Yes. That it definitely the preference of Dems. It is part of the platform, right?

    Elon Musk spent Christmas Day online, in the thick of a particularly venomous culture war, one that would lead him to later make the un-Christmas-like demand of
    his critics to “take a big step back and F*CK YOURSELF in the face.”



    Donald Trump had ignited this war by appointing the venture capitalist Sriram Krishnan to be his senior AI-policy adviser.
    Support for the H1B program by the DOGE tsars / Trump has only added fuel to the fire.


    Parts of the far-right internet melted down, arguing that Krishnan’s appointment / outward support for the H1B visas symbolized a betrayal of the principles of the “America First” movement.

    In this case I’m referring to Stephen Miller who’s happened to be Jewish that was branded a Nazi by Mr Dumbass. You woke clowns haven’t learned a god dammmn thing since your ass whooping. Go right ahead and keep calling people Nazi and you clowns will never win another election again in your miserable lifetime.

    I disagree with Trump on this.
    As someone who has built a career in IT, I can say....There are too many H1B workers that are taking jobs away from American workers, and there are plenty of talented IT workers.
