Nothing about the term "immigrant" reserves it to the poor. In what way are people who move into San Francisco from elsewhere in the world not immigrants?
I've long wanted to do a quiz on identifying whether phrases are from San Francisco liberals or Donald Trump.
- gozo 11y ago> Nothing about the term "immigrant" reserves it to the poor No, but it is generally reserved for people whom have permanently settled in another country. That doesn't include H1B (non-immigration) workers that could be thrown out if fired.
- morgante 11y agoNowhere near the majority of SV tech workers are on an H1B visa.
- gozo 11y agoOther popular visas aren't immigration visas either. Your point doesn't hold since by large peoples attitudes doesn't differ between immigrants and temporary workers, if people are from outside or inside the country nor relate to immigrants that settle outside the bay area. They are maybe protectionistic, anti-urbanization or anti-development but not anti-immigrant per se.
