There are lots of native born US tech workers. But the US educational system is poor, and the American work ethic is declining. I strongly doubt US STEM would be where it is without a constant influx of smart people from overseas. This is basically DEI for white GenZ.


You don't know what you're talking about. The IIT are crummy. This is why they have to come here on the F1 first, so that we can train them.

You wouldn’t be able to gain admission to an IIT so don’t flatter yourself.

All these MAGA business owners could put their money where their mouths are by stopping H1B hiring and using eVerify. So the question is why aren’t they doing that?

I’m a pro labor Dem and I’ll about stopping the flow of H1B. I want my kids to be able to get jobs.

But let’s be honest about what things are going to look like for us when the population flips and our old exceeds our young. MAGA in rural America are just going to have to accept that they aren’t going to have doctors because no one wants to live and raise their families in third world conditions. They struggle to retain doctors now. It’s not going to get easier, even if we double the doctor supply overnight. Native born doctors will just take over the plum positions being vacated.

Forget nursing homes - it’s going to be dire indeed. If the care is available, it will be so expensive no one can afford it.

And tech are cheap and relentless. They’re already setting up shop in India, and other nations are actively incentivizing relocation. It’s only a matter of time before the high paying programmer jobs are gone for good, and what’s left is moved to Alabama for $15/hr.

In short, supply and demand in a global world is going to do its thing. There will be winners and a whole lot of losers. Wages don’t always go up with prices in a dying economy. So long as we all have our eyes open close the borders and we can buckle up for the ride.

The discussion focuses heavily on the ITServe Alliance, a trade organization representing hundreds of IT staffing firms that rely on H-1B, OPT, CPT, and related visa programs.

Bartolotta explains how Bloomberg has documented exploitation of the H-1B lottery through multiple registrations for the same workers. She also outlines how ITServe openly promotes an integrated onshore-offshore labor pipeline, recruiting abroad while partnering with Indian state governments to expand offshore operations, all while lobbying U.S. policymakers as an “American job creator.”

The episode also explores Bartolotta’s personal experience working in tech, where she witnessed offshoring firsthand, raised civil rights concerns, and later became the subject of retaliation after filing complaints. Her reporting examines how visa dependency, restricted worker mobility, benching practices, and green card manipulation raise serious legal and ethical concerns.

It's terrible. So, why does Trump use them?


Because they are cheaper

But if democrats became the party of labor again , companies would have to hire US citizens

When do you think democrats will change and start supporting US workers first?


Union members are hardcore maga. F them.

+1 What has Trump done for American workers, exactly? Did increasing H1 B visa fees all of a sudden cause massive hiring of American workers?

FYI Amazon is cutting 16K more jobs, all while Bezos gave the Trumps $40mil to make a movie about the softcore porn star married to a liar and cheat.

Bezos started the company, but he no longer run the day to day operations and did not make the decision. Andy Jazzy should be the one getting the heat. He made the decision to pay the mafia bribe to the Trumps, cut thousand of Amazon jobs, cut Washington Post jobs, etc. Jazzy has been the CEO and President of Amazon Corporation since July 2021. Bezos sits on the BOD, but so does Jazzy and others.

L33test much. All uppitty about people living in third world conditions in MAGA land, but using immigrants to keep it like that. MAGA sees precisely what you are doing to keep people living in backwards places. Bottom line once we take away your immigrants you'll be just like MAGA.

MAGA made their bed when they drove out their youth. I can’t tell you how many smart people I knew who grew up in these places and fled the second they could and never looked back.

It wasn’t just for lack of opportunities. Doctors can actually get paid more working there. They were just sick of being treated like crap by a population that was hostile to intelligence and difference.

Bezos remains by far the single largest shareholder in Amazon. Corporations have done backflips to appease 2% shareholders. 11% shareholders get extra special treatment.

MAGA, let's not forget that Trump said he loves the H1Bs.

Several Republican-led states have moved to impose restrictions on the hiring of H-1B visa workers at public universities and state agencies.

Show me a single democrat that proposes restrictions on h1b

Democrats of today are completely different than the democrats of our parents

Texas and Florida - the states with the highest populations of illegal immigrants. Get back to me when they impose real penalties on businesses hiring undocumented workers. People wouldn’t be going there if they couldn’t get jobs!

Until then you can go back to screwing US workers.

People like you deserve to be in India with your culture


I’m a Democrat, pro labor Democrat. I’m wondering why you all hate Indians so much but won’t stop hiring them.

Oh yeah, well I wonder why you insist on being a loser at the polls. It doesn't make any sense. Why you Democrats are so non-responsive.

You should try being less confused about who wants H-1B and who doesn't.

Yes, but our billionaires do what we tell them to do because they want to win elections, unlike yours.
