Are you saying they can leave with the same ease that citizens can leave? That's not true.

- balls187 11y agoDefine leave. Easily switch jobs in the US? No. Move back to their "home" countries? Yes. H1B is/can be used as a form of leverage to limit the mobility of workers, and potential other forms of employer abuse. That is unfortunate, and it's clear the H1B system is broken.
- refurb 11y agoOf course not, they aren't citizens. Are you suggesting we give immigrants the same rights as citizens as soon as they arrive?
- gizmo 11y agoGiving people equal rights?? The horror! All people living in the same region should obviously have the same rights. They pay taxes like everybody else so of course they should get equal representation as well.
- refurb 11y agoSo you'd be up for non-permanent immigrants voting, running for President, taking jobs that handle classified info, etc? I'm not.
- gizmo 11y agoYes of course. You can't become President unless the masses vote for you. That's democracy. As for classified info, there are background checks for that. No reason to presuppose people who grew up in a different country automatically have ulterior motives.
