[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t work and the rationale behind it is routed in racism.

Most illegal immigration comes from overstayed visas.[/quote]

Yep. I wonder how many of the visa holders will stay once they start losing their tech jobs. Facebook currently terminating 10k workers with the possibility of more. Amazon needs to terminate a minimum of 50k. Microsoft and Apple have hiring freeze. Smaller tech companies begin to trim their workforce. So many of these employees are on visas to work. If they don’t find immediate replacement employment they are required to leave the country. I doubt 10% will leave, so now you have overstay visa illegal immigrants. People don’t care about them. Why?[/quote]
Because they are the “right” color/nationality is my guess. [/quote]
Those tech visa holders are highly skilled, educated. They can go back to India and probably get a job with a US based tech company. But the qol in the US is better than in India. Hence, the reason why many would rather work here. However, I know many tech visa workers who went back to India, and work there for a US based company. I've no doubt those people will do the same.

It's not the educated and skilled who overstay their visas here. Maybe a few, but by and large, it's the unskilled H2A  type visa holders, those who work in farms and hotels and resorts during high season, like the ones Trump hotels use, that overstay the visas.[/quote]
