What's the point of pretending to care about h1b immigration if we already lost our jobs to h1b hires? Companies are hiring h1b's, training them, and paying them less for the same job we were doing. Do they think we're stupid and think we're going to fall for this fake h1b immigration crackdown? At least a Mexican doesn't speak English and can't take our jobs.
>>544072185They only applied it to Microsoft. Why are they playing favorites?
>>544072215Because they don’t want to actually stop the jeetification. Also I assume that Microsoft offended them somehow and this is their way of making MS less competitive (remember, they truly believe that importing jeets makes companies better.)
>>544072185Google has laid off upwards of 20,000 people since 2022, while bringing in 10,000+ jeets every yearthey're not on the list because this miga cope is niggr bullshit
Bold of you to assume that they are “taking on” h1b for real this time after the two years they have been saying they will and haven’t
Obviously he's just trying to get your votes right before a big election. If they gave a shit they would have done something about it besides lip service.Too little too late. America is a shithole and will only be getting worse over time
>>544072185Because they never cared about it and only campaigned on it. I won't vote for dems, but maga is as gay as neocons at this point. Fake and gay. Faggots.
>>544072348They have basically become neocons at this point. I blame Trump and his Jew obsession
>>544072185Because they're about to spectacularly lose and all get impeached, so this is a last gasp attempt to save the GOP vote from the toilet. Almost certainly this will be undone after the election. It's the equivalent of a convenient Mexican caravan arriving that scares you into voting Republican after they abused you for the past two years.If you fall for this transparently fake theatre and get tricked into voting Republican over it, you are subhuman.
>>544072333They probably war roomed something, some aide spoke up "hey, I see these posts on this thing called pol that says Americans dont like jeets. that'll bring Trump's terrible polls up!"
>>544072185There is a battle with corporations and the tech bros. Right now, they made a deal to let the tech bros gain more power by replacing workers with ai. Previously corporations were in control and that's why we had illegals and h1b for cheap labor. Tech bros made an offer to replace workers entirely and the corporations agreed.
>>544072333>If they gave a shit they would have done something about it besides lip service.Executive branch executes the laws, they do not make them. As the h1b program is on the books they have to let it continue. They're doing what they can by pushing what they can get away with in a way to keep the judicial branch from stopping them. The government is always slow.
>>544072185ProblemReactionSolution
If they gave a shit they wouldn't have waited until a 22% approval rating less than 30 days before a major election. I'm still seeing daily "lol you WILL vote for us because you have no choice you pathetic white males" posts. They haven't learned a thing.
>tech slump started earlier this year>just now start caring about white tech workersWhat a fucking retard. This should have been a slam dunk for the GOP
>>544072185>What's the point of pretending to care about h1b immigration if we already lost our jobs to h1b hires? Trade talks with india. Instead of rolling over India is trying to keep the US out, so we're hitting them in the balls financially to get them to cave.
>>544072185yes they think you are stupid, and they are right. 80 percent of voters are team voters, if you do 50/50 split of red and blue at least 20/40 will flip if things gets bad enough, of those 20 at least 15 will flip if you just appease them 1-2 months before the election.Mexican can speak english and take your jobs it's called mexican american, difference is they are welcomed through the door competing against you, like indians, companies seeking them out.
>>5440721851LB of ground beef here costs almost $14
>>544072185never been in politics before?
He should have done it 1st year of his 1st term presidency in 2016, when the tech bros were all shitting on him but oh hey look, they funded his campaign to get re-elected so now it's all better I guess. No idea why he's doing this now though, bit like closing the street off after the poo has been shat.
GCCs will keep on taking American jobs, no one's banning those.
This is just a way to punish Microsoft for something petty like refusing to call AI SI while appearing "based" on the H1B issue. Unless they go hard after all the FAANGs that Trump is cozy with then they have no intention of helping Americans.
>>544072767He’s not closing anything off though. Only Microsoft is getting punished. You have to remember that Trump’s people legitimately think that preventing a company from getting jeets will hurt said company.
>>544072466>this thing called pol>implying trumps entire 2016 campaign wasn't workshopped on this very board
>>544072785all it takes is a firewall and boom, gccs die.
>>544072185i think its desperation. i appreciate the gesture but it would be nice if they did this right off the bat instead of boosting elon and vivek. and then going to war for israel instead of focusing on productive shit like this
>>544072844I'm sure big business will be happy with taking a hit like that after spending millions to set everything up
>>544073004Oh no, not big business. However will we get over a couple of billion dollars they invested outside of the country, it's not like we ever chuck money at them to keep them from going bankrupt.
The real question is how did the GOP get away with allowing this shit for so long?
>>544072185>take on h1bit's all just posturing acting. Elon Musk will continue with infinity Indians.
>>544072185This has nothing to do with H1Bs. Those are protected and still will use 100% of the allotment. The Microsoft stuff is about green cards.
>>544073004Another point. I remember working for a company with government contracts when the war with Russia started. We decoupled from our Russian engineers overnight. All it takes is one command on the secure gov to business portal and all US companies bend over backwards to not get fucked out of the system.
>>544072264You assume wrong. On Thursday Trump gave the jeet CEO of Microsoft a medal.
>>544072264>Also I assume that Microsoft offended them somehowNot Trump.OpenAI & xAI.It's why they're spamming Linux so hard and excluded it from age verification.Ellison, Musk and Altman probably want to divide up the company between themselves so it's getting softened up.
>>544072524If Trump can't do shit about the H1B program then he shouldn't have campaigned on ending it. He made a promise, he must keep it. If that means he must give a blow job to every member of Congress, so be it. He said he'd end it and now here we are ten years later and he's still goofing off.
>>544073431That was before big tech went all on in MIGA
>>544072185Why is he trashing American companies?!
>>544072185Aren't they not even going after H1Bs, just the program to make them permanent citizens? Why not go after H1Bs also?
>>544073576Because that would hurt Musk and other anti white billionaires.
>>544072524the government is really fast when leftists are in control
>>544073649I don't remember much of anything that moved fast when leftists were in power. The only time when I've seen anything move fast was when there was already a private solution that was sitting in the background for at least a decade, and then the government got the fuck out of the way.
>>544072185Because theyre lying
>>544072185>>544073576It's definitely performative, and of course it's done just before election season.It's just a temporary pause on H-1B's being converted to green cards, it doesn't even really stop new H-1B's from being hired. And the green cards can be turned right back on after the elections are over.It's a scam so obvious most of the Indians should recognize it, which is probably what they are betting on. Laughing while tricking dumb rednecks, knowing nothing actually changes.
>>544072185They could do far more to actually stop Microsoft and other tech companies from doing this shit.Such as using national security as a pretext for launching a plodding, extremely invasive, extremely thorough audit of every aspect of Microsoft's inner workings while forcing them to shut down their services until the audit is over.What they're doing now will just get blocked by a judge and I doubt they have the courage to start assassinating judges.
>>544072185This doesn’t actually stop new H1B visas. It prevents the company from sponsoring an H1B to be a permanent green card holder, which Microsoft stopped doing like 3 years agoHow it works:>be foreigner that secures visa>spend up to 3 years working a job>company can file an extension for another up to 3 years working the same job>after 6 years, you have two options>A) Get sponsored for a green card. You get put on a list while you wait for approval or denial. Your visa is extended until you are approved or denied. The wait time for India is like 20+ years, so basically you get to stay in the country as an H1b for over 26 years if you work the same job and don’t leave the company. >B) you leave the country for a year and start overWhat the government is doing is preventing new applications for green cards for specific companies, but doesn’t clear any backlog. Microsoft can still fire Americans and replace them with fresh H1Bs without any issue, like they are doing now. IE: this doesn’t actually do anything and POTUS is just desperate for a PR win
>>544072631They had two year heard start to do this shit and now they wait just before the midterms lolI hope the Dems win and make things even worse fuck this entire country.
>why now, not two years ago?Two years ago he did attack H-1B, along with setting up DOGE and ICE. It was part of the blitz of stuff he did un the first few months. Then the courts rebuked him, and so he did his restriction another way and tried to use congress to properly change the laws. Congress have proven useless because there are too many status malus unipartists in there who want to do nothing and wait Trump out.So after wasting a bunch of time trying to make Congress do something useful, he's back to executive orders until he gets a Congress that is willing to get off its ass after midterms.
>>544072185They are trying anything to get some voted. They know they fuck it up. Idiots thought that sending few missilies to Iran will make them give up. You would think they have some reports from ukraine and learn something. Trump lost all aura.
>>544076025>So after wasting a bunch of time trying to make Congress do something usefulRepublicans hold a trifecta right now. There is nobody blocking action other than other Republicans. If you can't get anything done while holding all three branches, you are simply incompetent.
>>544076445>There is nobody blocking action other than other Republicans. If you can't get anything done while holding all three branches, you are simply incompetent.Like I said, Congress have proven useless because there are too many status malus unipartists in there who want to do nothing and wait Trump out.Did you forget that Trump was an outsider who imposed himself on the GOP? He's been fighting to overcome the 'never trumpers' in the party for all of both terms. A good number of those people have lost their seats in the primaries, but it won't do any good if we lose the midterms!So let's finish usurping the republican party so we can make changes with it. Giving up now means a return to Bush and Obama's uniparty.
>>544076790trump was usurped by the jewish uniparty. in 2016 they all hated them if you read that list of the 2016 never trumpers they are all now the biggest trump advocates and all jews or neocons
>>544072185>fake it till you make itSame as the "we'll give you cheques for votes!" and then not doing it. Same as the "we'll stop the war in iran and bring down gas prices" only to then spend more money buying diesel from russia and as soon as midterms are over they'll go back to war again. They're liars and will continue lying.
>>544072185>Do they think we're stupidyes. You got what you voted for migger
>>544076836OK, then in 2028 we replace him with someone better. That doesn't mean we should backslide into neoliberal purgatory now, if we do that just ensures that whoever we do elect in 2028 won't be able to do shit because of the congressmen we inflicted upon ourselves this year.
>>544072185Because they are going to get assraped in the midterms and they are trying to woo back the White working class they sold immediately after taking office in January 2025.
>>544076790>Did you forget that Trump was an outsiderimagine believing this, he's the swampiest swamp creature to ever exist. He makes cretins like Newt Gingrich look ethical and honest
>>544077060yeah maybe, i see both sides of this argument. i dont think we have all that much of a say
>>544077060Trumps admin is indians and zionists, there is nothing to backslide to because he delivered on absolutely nothing
>>544077220And yet under Trump we finally have seen a reversal of the Great Replacement, with ICE achieving net negative immigration for the first time in decades. And yet under Trump H-1B visas are being choked out with $100k application fees, despite the lower courts trying to stop him from doing so. And yet the corruption aparatus known as USAID has been destroyed. And yet 2nd amendment rights are being restored with win after win after win in both legal battles and changes made to executive policy.I'm not going to pretend he's perfect, but Trump has been making a lot of systemic changes that disrupt the swamp's control mechanisms and will do us good both now and in years to come.
>>544077495>we finally have seen a reversal of the Great ReplacementYou have to be pretty fucking gullible to believe this. There's no proof whatsoever provided that mass migration has been stopped by Trump, only his word.
>>544077541Go choke on your blackpills, you have the memory of a goldfish.
>>544077643Trump has provided no actual evidence of any changes in migration and lies like he breathes, you are thick as pig shit
