Trump’s Anti-Immigrant Coalition Starts to Fracture

[@mwfolsom]

Most H1B visa workers are doing normal jobs - it is all about cutting the cost of employees.

[@gracevalentine1666]

Several school districts I’ve worked for in New Mexico preferred h1b visa holding teachers because they were cheap, willing to live in communal housing and they don’t unionize. Jus sayin

[@jenna2431]

The conflation of immigration with racism is the issue here. MAGA doesn't do the blex and the brownz, no matter how smart.

[@crystalr.forbes8982]

Really? Cause I’ve worked with H1B workers here doing basic project management and entry level programming. These visas are not always going to the modern day Einsteins

[@douglasjensen8986]

The H1-B immigrant's Musk, Trump, etc. want do not do basic project management and entry-level programming. They are highly educated and intensely motivated, far more so than their US age-peers. They easily qualify for admission to elite Ph.D. programs if they choose--in fact, most STEM Ph.D. students in the US are immigrants. They are entrepreneurial and start more new businesses than typical US young technologists. But yes, not all of these Oriental and Indian young people are super-stars. But like when fishing, you have to catch many fish in your net to maximize the number of best ones.

[@joko09010]

Just like Melania getting her Einstein visa? What a joke. Musk was here illegally for years after his student visa expired. They abuse the systems that we have to abide. It’s a two tier society.

[@mikeb5664]

Who gave you the idea that you'd be working with geniuses?

[@vaffankoolo]

The US should be investing in training Americans to do the jobs for which H1B visas are currently necessary. How is that not part of the program...

[@mikeb5664]

The US has one of the best education systems in the world. Unfortunately it produces some of the worst results. Maybe you can get Republicans to stop attacking education in general. Good luck with that.

[@whitneyanders5945]

Why bother educating the citizens when you can ship them in for cheap? In Australia, successive governments have gutted the education sector, especially where apprenticeships are involved. Unions have also been gutted. Easier to bring them in from China and India .. they are happy to be exploited.

[@bjrnhjortshjandersen1286]

Building a policy on lies and unrealistic promises should meet big problems.

[@gradylucas5265]

lol, face it you lost and showing your delusion, same as the creator of this video

[@Mtn_Mig]

As a research consultant, H1B visas are killing me. I can't compete with someone willing to do advanced statistics for the wages of a waitress.

[@RobertWF42]

What line of work are you in? I'm a statistician in the insurance industry and haven't had too much trouble finding high paying positions (except after 2023 layoffs, but the economy seems to have rebounded since then).

[@TangomanX2008]

Something is off. In an immigrant who is so talented that resulted in so much innovation it creates American jobs around him sounds a lot more like an O-1 visa than a H1V visa.

[@patriciakauffman8941]

Coming with the permission of a visa is different than sneaking across the border.

[@craven5328]

Just to comment: # of patents filed is not a very good measure of innovation, and in fact could be a drag on innovation. 1. A patent filed does not mean a product is built, or that the product is useful, or generated any value for anyone even if it eventually produces a product that makes it to market. 2. Patents are increasingly leveraged by patent trolls (NPEs) to tie up companies in litigation, which means these companies start spending more on legal fees, and less and less on R&D. 3. Patents have enabled private companies to extract value from useful products that were actually developed by the public sector - essentially allowing companies to privatize the benefits of publicly funded innovation (see the work of economist Marianna Mazucatto). 4. There are actually a number of studies that show that the majority (by some counts 90%) of the most influential and useful innovations in tech and in medicine - were never patented. However, I do think it was great that you covered David Card's work vis a vis the natural experiment of the Mariel Boatlift in Miami!

[@oforde5072]

Why does Roge Karma sound almost exactly like Ezra Klein? Am I hearing things?

[@adammorgan8829]

Yeah, same rhythm and cadence

[@idmann17]

I thought he was Ezra Klein, as well, at first. I had to check the description to confirm that it wasn't him...

[@alexmm01]

I know this is mostly about H1B but I am really enjoying this topic of how everyone is coming out of the woodwork claiming that we need immigrants (I mean indentured servants) to do the work that Americans can't do (at the very highest skilled levels) or the jobs that Americans won't do (at least for minimum wage or less).

So much censorship: KZbin shows 9 comments on this video, yet only 2 are visible. Who is hiding the other 7, and why?

[@kahlilbt]

You have to click "sort by newest", you're looking at the top comments.... 🤭

[@jpe1]

@@kahlilbt that only changes the order, it doesn’t show hidden comments. To be clear, more comments are visible now then when I made that comment (the comment count is up to 21) but specifically one of my comments _isn’t_ visible (even to me) and I still don’t see 21 comments in total.

[@paulfrank9047]

I just counted 22 comments (23 now that I have replied). You have to also count the replies to comments to get to the total number. I agree that there are instances of shadow banning or unexplainable hiding of comments, but this video with a meagre 1,127 views is definitely not one of them.

@@jpe1 Was that comment a reply? I understand that replies can be deleted by the person that you reply to.

[@QuantumDigital2017]

The Cholos/Cholas that work for them censor the negative ones. ESE buffoons.

[@jimmiller1686]

The entire discussion misses a point: the argument is over LEGAL immigration vs illegal. the H-1B visa program involves legal immigration while the mass deportation program addresses illegal immigration. Most people have no objection to immigration, provided it's legal.

[@jpe1]

How cute, you think the mass deportations will be of only illegal immigrants. Think about the last time that a Republican president used the military for mass deportations, when many thousands of US citizens were deported because they had Mexican heritage. The nativists definitely want a repeat of that, and they have explicitly stated that they want to strip citizenship from those they deem unworthy (eg, ‘anchor babies’) to facilitate their desire for ethnic cleansing.

[@bluedreams517]

Most people don't realize how much legal immigration was/is also pressed and cut or being described as illegal anyways by the trump world. People say they don't mind legal immigration, but they also don't often know how legal immigration works and how difficult it is to get through.

[@draftmama75]

The chaos all comes from the invective from TFG. No one is admitting this.

[@Jonathan-xl4wk]

This isn't about racism it's about employers trying to find ways to keep payroll down. Empty messaging about trickle down job growth from college kids who never have to do anything. The education system has taught this discrimination.Literally trying to screw over the same people every time.

[@vincep1c156]

Why doesn’t Trump bronze his hands?

Musk supported Miller financially for years. So he will do whatever Elon wants. And Trump will do what Elon wants .

[@David_Lloyd-Jones]

Trump looks really, really weird here: he's wearing a sensible, even handsome, tie.

[@jimmiller1686]

These "experts" just sit at their desks and think.. They need to get out and talk to people. I've spoken to our gardener, our pool cleaner, our barista and a good friend, all of whom are legal immigrants from Mexico. ALL are opposed to illegal immigration because they have all gone through all the complications of being legal (and three of them are now citizens), and they don't like others getting a free ride. Three of them have kids in school, one has a daughter who is a lawyer, the other a teacher. Overall positive contributors and tax payers.

[@danielleremp4328]

These legal immigrants could consider the parable in Matthew 20:1-16: In that parable, a landowner hires workers for his vineyard and pays them all the same amount at the end of the day, regardless of how long they worked. The workers who were hired first and worked a full day are upset and grumble against the landowner.

[@deidrebee1]

The immigrants they're talking about bringing in on H-1B visas are legal immigrants

[@Dave-gc7sq]

Thanks Danielle, also, most, and I mean probably 95% of Mexicans, simply aren't eligible for any kind of path for legal migration. those legal migrants friends of you are just greedy and egotistical, just ask them how they got their status.
