Not GP, but presumably making an H1B harder to get would decrease yazaddaruvala's competition for a job. I'll admit that this next thought is racist, but I think a lot of companies would prefer hiring a Canadian over someone from another country (assuming they have the same skill). Canada has a very similar culture to the USA and they usually speak English as their mother tongue.
- ythn 9y agoI don't get why it's racist to not prefer Indians and Chinese H1Bs because of bad language skills. At my current company I can say with 100% confidence that the source of many bugs is bad communication in part because of Chinese H1B's misunderstanding w or x or failing to clearly communicate y or z.
- olympus 9y agoPreferring one group of people over another based on the color of their skin or where they came from is pretty much the definition of racism, regardless of whether a stereotype about a particular person is true. I'm not saying my thought was controversial or even wrong (the thought being that predominately white Canadians fit in better with predominately white Americans), but I'll bet most HR people would deny that it has any influence on their hiring practice.
