What are you talking about? Go read about what an H1B visa is for. It’s not a draconian attempt to own anybody as those coming into it should know the precise limitations of this non-immigrant visa.
- kelnos 8y agoI have a feeling that you and the parent poster (and I) have different views on immigration in general, which is fine, but it's going to color how we view certain restrictions on certain visas. The objection is essentially that the US is imposing fairly-arbitrary restrictions on H-1B holders that make it difficult and stressful to live and work in the US... for no good reason. You can say stuff like "they should have known the limitations of the visa and what they were getting into", and that's correct. But my position is one of empathy. Sure, the US government is certainly within its rights to create a visa program like this. My position, fundamentally, is that it shouldn't. It should treat people like people, not interchangeable worker cogs that should feel blessed just to be allowed to spend time in the US. It's incredibly arrogant and heartless, and I object to the entire thing on moral and ethical grounds. The US is one of the few developed nations that has such a strict, heartless immigration system, and frankly it makes me ashamed as a natural-born US citizen to see how we treat citizens of other nations who enrich our economy and lives.
