We won our case against the Trump administration for trying to destroy the H-1B visa program.

Thousands with these visas serve New Yorkers as doctors, teachers, and other skilled workers.
I'll keep fighting to protect them and our immigrant communities.

1. Immediate appeal to the notorious 3-judge panel. Appeal to the full district court. Emergency petition to the SCOTUS.
2. Admin ignores the order, continues to enforce the fee.

(1,153 posts)The H1-B visa program has been abused by corporate America to undercut wages for certain groups of professionals in the tech industry. Its use should be strictly controlled, and only allowed where there is a demonstrated lack of qualified people to fill job positions.
Feel free to flame me if you wish, just know I wont respond, and yes, I was in the tech industry and personally saw qualified US workers displaced by low cost imports.

On the other hand, the H1-B individuals were qualified and very able tech industry professionals. I enjoyed working with them for the most part. Their lunches smelled lovely! :-D
