The Hyundai raid in a nutshell went like this: - Visa applicants: Hey State Department, can we get approved so we can work at the Hyundai plant? - State: Sure - Visa applicants: Hey CBP, we're seeking entry to work at the Hyundai plant. - CBP: Ok - Visa applicants:

It's now clear that the Hyundai immigration raid was an operational mistake. A big reason why this mistake happened is because the agents who raided this plant (Homeland Security Investigations) have no experience in worksite enforcement. They previously worked on high priority

The plant isn't even finished being built yet. You don't know what you're talking about. South Korea sent over their workers earning salaries from abroad with specialized knowledge to construct these plants for a 90 day period.

When it comes to culture, I think @VivekGRamaswamy is right. Children who had a parent on an H-1B visa represented 30 out of 40 finalists in the Intel Science Talent Search, one of the most prestigious science competitions for high schoolers living in the U.S. H-1Bs aren't just

From March 2024 to March 2025, the U.S. lost over 130k international students. Indian students declined by over 27%. Masters students declined by over 20%. Institutions will lose up to $4 billion.

This is how the rollout of the H-1B $100,000 fee has gone thus far: - During the Friday White House Press Conference, the Secretary of Commerce, who has no authority over immigration, was invited to communicate the rollout of the new policy, where he said that it would be an

The H-1B was designed to be 6 years. In 2000, employers were struggling because the H-1Bs they had sponsored for green cards were facing a backlog due to the green card caps on each country and their H-1B would expire before they got their green card. Rather than abolishing the

USCIS confirms that the $100,000 H-1B fee can be avoided if the applicant enters on a different visa (e.g. F-1 visa for international students, L-1 visa for international companies) and then switches to H-1B inside the US. They can re-enter the US on their H-1B and not be fined.

H-1Bs are less than 0.05% of the US workforce and the Florida Governor has no control over the program. This whole thing is about pandering to internet populists. It failed spectacularly in 2024.

The beautiful thing about America is that the people with the strongest complaints can end up changing things. Complaining about America is part of being an American.
