First of all, this isn’t the way to win over Americans who aren’t comfortable with H-1B or the ones who were replaced by H-1B workers.
You have to come up with a more convincing argument and logical reasoning instead of “fuck yourself in the face”.
After some back blast, he posted this:
And there’s this from a real classy Hadji:
Looks like he and Elon share the same narrative:
Investor Robert Serling put together extensive research on the subject, Here.
A casual perusal of the data shows that this isn’t a program for the top 0.1% of talent, as it’s been described. This is simply a way to recruit hundreds of thousands of relatively lower-wage IT and financial services professionals.
America needs to be a destination for the world’s most elite talent. But the H-1B program isn’t the way to do that.
The debate:
This is the main concern of American workers:
………Within the tech industry, where the program is especially popular, advocates maintain that there is a shortage of high-skilled computer programmers and engineers, and so H-1B visas are an indispensable part to the long term continued growth of their industry.
Elon Musk personally got involved and added a geopolitical layer to the debate: arguing that without these workers, America would be at risk of falling behind foreign competitors in the race for artificial intelligence, thus opening itself to a parade of national security horribles over the long run if countries like China and India presumably get these workers instead.
Those on the other side of the debate, people like Laura Loomer, Jack Posobiec, Gavin Wax, Josiah Lippincott, and many others aligned with the MAGA movement, stress that H-1B visas preferentially select for foreign workers over native-born Americans.
As a result, Indian and Chinese laborers are getting jobs that otherwise qualified legacy American workers should have. The economic consequences of this policy are twofold: Americans are denied opportunities to work in high-wage jobs, like Tech and Engineering – and even industries like law, which increasingly rely on foreign applicants.
The companies who hire these workers can then artificially depress wages industry-wide, which affects both foreigner and American worker alike. In an era of still rampant inflation, the depressive effects of these policies spread across American society are monumental.
Culturally, many of the foreigners who receive these jobs generate a sense of entitlement over their American peers. The crude truth of the matter is that this entitlement in some cases breeds contempt for native American citizens, a contempt – both overt and implicit – that permeates the words and actions of those who have benefitted from the H-1B program, either directly or indirectly.
………The new arrivals, including the many who support H-1B visas, should not be blamed too harshly for their ignorance about American culture: they haven’t had the time to assimilate and hence can’t help themselves.
But their words merely serve to reinforce the need to shut down our borders and limit the number of new migrants overall, brought in by H-1B visas, student visas, and other programs, because mass migration is not in the final analysis a zero-sum game, nor is it ever an unfettered good.
Those who advocate for the H-1B position would be well-advised to have some humility and take these other factors into serious account before defaulting automatically to their pro-immigration views.
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have done a ton of good for the MAGA movement. They have kicked open the doors to free speech, helped finance a campaign juggernaut which led to November’s consequential electoral victory, and are genuinely committed to cutting bureaucratic largesse.
But on the question of H-1B visas, they should listen more to the MAGA base, which has been supportive of the President since that fateful escalator ride in 2015 and understand an incontrovertible truth: America has too many immigrants, and we have nearly cracked up as a society because of it.
From its start, MAGA was centered on border security and mass deportations, not H-1B visas and eliminating country caps for imported foreign workers.
The H-1B “war” of 2024 is destined to go down in social media history. It’s equal parts productive and chaotic, with pro-foreign worker advocates like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy squaring off against America First MAGA forces. Ultimately, this debate is a healthy exercise for the America First movement, airing its internal conflicts—especially before Trump’s anticipated return to the White House.
That said, we shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Vivek and Elon don’t need to be thrown to the wolves over this issue. Sure, they could use a crash course in America First principles, but they also deserve the opportunity to get creative and course-correct. A good starting point? Taking a hard look at the system they support and acknowledging just how disastrous it really is.
Honestly, we’re dealing with a system so broken it’s beyond repair—especially the so-called “lotto” system at the heart of the entire H-1B scheme. Calling it “rigged” would actually be a compliment.
Yes, it’s really that bad.
Each year in April, the US government conducts a lottery that shapes the lives of hundreds of thousands of people — and America’s future as an economic power. It’s a drawing for a limited number of skilled-worker visas known as H-1Bs. Tech giants, startups, banks and drugmakers all vie for slots, hoping to snap up international graduates of top US universities who must otherwise leave the country. Most don’t get picked.The game, it turns out, is rigged. New federal data obtained by Bloomberg News reveal how thousands of companies got an unfair advantage by helping themselves to extra lottery tickets.

When things go wrong, they go horribly wrong.
Boeing hired $9 an hour Indian engineers to develop plane software.:
Software outsourcing to inexperienced or underpaid engineers can cause a monetary as well as human loss. It is yet surprising about how Boeing 737 Max Crisis took place. A big Chicago based plane maker like Boeing is famous for its narrow body design. It is still unknown how such famous Jet company can make basic software mistakes. It lead to 2 deadly crashes killing 346 people in Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines.
Senior engineers who are with Boeing for many years consider Software outsourcing maintenance to lower paid contractors as reason. The Max Software was developed at a time when Boeing laid off experienced developers and pushed suppliers to cut costs. Owing to this Boeing and subcontractors have relied more on temporary contractor developers at $9 an hour. The developers were expected to develop and test the software.
On one hand, Americans resent foreign workers taking their jobs, and on the other hand, companies feel the need to fill jobs with H1-B workers because they claim they either can’t find qualified American citizens to do the jobs and/or it’s cheaper to outsource.
The right approach for Elon and Vivek would be to prioritize Americans over foreigners. H1-B should be used sparingly and only in circumstances where no qualified American workers can be found for a specific occupation.
Bottom line: American citizens should always be prioritized over foreign workers.
