[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much ignorance and misinformation on this thread. It's really no wonder that immigrants have been made out to be the boogeyman so easily. [/quote]

Then clarify it. What on this thread is false?

I think this is a class issue and that Trump has successfully turned low wage migrant workers into the boogeymen when actually the H-1B program has worse potential impacts on American workers due to fraud in the program.

Biden has already sought to crack down on fraud in the program -- look into the investigation of the contracting firm Kronsys, which falsified H-1B applications to the degree that the CEO is now serving a 12 year federal prison sentence. And H-1B holders need to be aware that because their visas are applied through and held by their employer, they will have little recourse if their employer obtains it illegally. I would expect the Trump administration to ramp up investigations into H-1B visas and would expect them to have even less leniency towards visa holders who were unaware of their employer's fraud. Trump made campaign promises about the number of deportations he'd enact and if he can use H-1B fraud to pump up his overall deportation numbers so he can say he delivered on that promise, he will.

H-1B visa holders might want to look into how their visa was obtained and on what grounds, and make contingency plans if there is any indication that there were irregularities or falsehoods in the application. Including preparing to return to home countries. I would be especially concerned if m.y visa was obtained by one of these contractors like Kronsys that process thousands of H-1B applications per year as it's apparent that many of these contractors have been engaged in systemic fraud for years.[/quote]
