minus-squareOpenPassageways@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up7·11 hours agoThis is an interesting move especially since he’s so buddy buddy with the tech CEOs. I’m curious what these exceptions are and whether they already know how to exploit them. I’ve never liked seeing tech companies abuse the H1B process, but I always thought it was better than outsourcing. At least with H1B, you’re competing against someone who has to pay rent and taxes and grocery prices in the US. If they don’t also tariff outsourcing, companies could just do more of that.
