    stable visa or even citizenship.

    We should be doing that. The H1-B thing is a scam. If we really cannot find talent locally, then we should grant them citizenship or very long term, stable visa.

    Now that we have donnie the dotard and the likes of Stephen Miller threatening to even revoke citizenship though, I would imagine anyone thinking of coming here is definitely thinking twice - that any time some reactionary assholes get into the WH, that their very livelihoods - and even lives - could be at stake.

      The h1-b is a prison because they pay lower than industry average wages plus if you quit you have something like 90 days to find a new sponsor. Corporations are not going to sponsor someone who expects to be treated like a human being.
