So DOGE is going to get rid of "choking regulations." Interesting. Does that mean wide open doors to H1B's?
You've only been around the Dem's it seems.
"An O-1 visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows individuals with extraordinary ability or achievement in specific fields to work temporarily in the United States.
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/immigration/h1b
The H-1B program applies to employers seeking to hire nonimmigrant aliens as workers in specialty occupations or as fashion models of distinguished merit and ability. A specialty occupation is one that requires the application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and the attainment of at least a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent. The intent of the H-1B provisions is to help employers who cannot otherwise obtain needed business skills and abilities from the U.S. workforce by authorizing the temporary employment of qualified individuals who are not otherwise authorized to work in the United States.
The law establishes certain standards in order to protect similarly employed U.S. workers from being adversely affected by the employment of the nonimmigrant workers, as well as to protect the H-1B nonimmigrant workers. Employers must attest to the Department of Labor that they will pay wages to the H-1B nonimmigrant workers that are at least equal to the actual wage paid by the employer to other workers with similar experience and qualifications for the job in question, or the prevailing wage for the occupation in the area of intended employment – whichever is greater."
OK, isn't it interesting that it's only fashion models that need distinguished merit and ability.(Not sure how that is judged)
Otherwise, it's a specialty occupation with specialized knowledge and the attainment of a least a bachelor's degree or equivalent. And those wages, what was Musk crowing about paying them less? Haven't yet found the laws that are supposed to protect U.S. workers.
Everything I've read so far is conflating H1B with the O-1. The reality is a the H1B is a Bachelor's degree.
How many of our recent graduates would fulfill this requirement?
Discriminating against U.S. citizens
https://www.justice.gov/crt/8-usc-1324b-unfair-immigration-related-employment-practices
"bold"(a) Prohibition of discrimination based on national origin or citizenship status
(1) General rule
It is an unfair immigration-related employment practice for a person or other entity to discriminate against any individual (other than an unauthorized alien, as defined in section 1324a(h)(3) of this title) with respect to the hiring, or recruitment or referral for a fee, of the individual for employment or the discharging of the individual from employment–
(A) because of such individual's national origin, or
(B) in the case of a protected individual (as defined in paragraph (3)), because of such individual's citizenship status.
(3) “Protected individual” defined
As used in paragraph (1), the term “protected individual” means an individual who–
"bold"(A) is a citizen or national of the United States, or
(B) is an alien who is lawfully admitted for permanent residence, is granted the status of an alien lawfully admitted for temporary residence under section 1160(a) or 1255a(a)(1) of this title, is admitted as a refugee under section 1157 of this title, or is granted asylum under section 1158 of this title; but does not include (i) an alien who fails to apply for naturalization within six months of the date the alien first becomes eligible (by virtue of period of lawful permanent residence) to apply for naturalization or, if later, within six months after November 6, 1986, and (ii) an alien who has applied on a timely basis, but has not been naturalized as a citizen within 2 years after the date of the application, unless the alien can establish that the alien is actively pursuing naturalization, except that time consumed in the Service's processing the application shall not be counted toward the 2-year period.
"bold"(4) Additional exception providing right to prefer equally qualified citizens
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, it is not an unfair immigration-related employment practice for a person or other entity to prefer to hire, recruit, or refer an individual who is a citizen or national of the United States over another individual who is an alien if the two individuals are equally qualified.
https://www.eeoc.gov/prohibited-employment-policiespractices
The laws enforced by EEOC prohibit an employer or other covered entity from using neutral employment policies and practices that have a disproportionately negative effect on applicants or employees of a particular race, color, religion, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), or national origin,
Actually, American citizens are being discriminated against. And no, it is not racist to hire a U.S. citizen over an alien.
So when Musk lists jobs for only H1B's, he is discriminating, from what I read.
Disregard "bold", still trying to learn to format…
The American worker Catch 22-
Just got that degree and can't get a job because of an H1B hire.
Can't get the experience due to that.
So Musk and Vivec complain that U.S. citizens don't have the desire to work because they don't see it on the resume. The work denied to U.S citizens because of their H1B.
