Immigrants like Elon Musk are unquestionably a net positive.
OK that’s where I quit reading. You can’t be serious.

We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.
-
Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

This is enlightening. Locked to a company by virtue of your visa. Working without pay while waiting for your visa.
I can see why these working class hating CEOs like these visas. You get talent while bypassing some of those pesky American labor laws.
And we on turn have to outsource for this talent because the university positions are outsourced to other countries, in part, no doubt, because we can’t afford them.
Another motive to not subsidize education. The cycle of cheaply taking advantage of masters degrees via the visa system would end.
I mean... they are more than 35% of the world's population. And in order to grant visas, people must seek them. With cultural and socioeconomic factors, there is no reason to expect population from all countries to seek and be granted visas equally?
I wonder what the distribution looks like for the equivalent visas in europe and other countries besides the USA.
The people who get H1Bs aren't representative of the world, but the native-born tech worker population isn't representative of the USA either. There are cultural factors involved, not just the judgement of the people who issue H1Bs.
Other than the gigantic tech companies, the other beneficiaries of the H-1B visa program are India and China. Seventy-two percent of H-1B visa recipients were from India; 12% from China.
That’s 84% of the total number.
DEI stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion. It’s intended to boost the number of “minorities” in an organization or institution. And at least 84% of the time, that’s exactly what the H-1B program produces!
The idea that DEI programs are for the benefit of Indian and Chinese people is, frankly, nonsense. Hasn't the author heard of Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard among other things? It's kind of a big deal.
A funny story about an Indian guy: I faked being black to get into medical school.
As someone in IT (but not a tech company), Indians don't really count as diversity anymore. There are a ton of them already. I would estimate there are 3-4x as many Indians as there are women (of any race)
Stop calling it diversity if you mean minority. Diversity means a variety of people from different backgrounds. So some Indians on a team do count as diversity, as long as the group itself is diverse. Every ethnicity and gender can count towards diversity.
Hatting on immigrants should not be a conwervative position. Get over the hate and welcome the poor downtrodden to a better life here.
The county with the insane I.T hustle gets a lot of I.T jobs.
Weeeeird.
Because they work cheaper and can be abused a lot more than Americans. That's why, that so called hustle is just abuse.
