Sweet for many, but very tough for those on visas who will have to now leave the US and abandon the lives they built there.

- K5EiS 4y agoI'm not familiar with visas, do they not get any time to find new jobs?
- tyingq 4y agoThey have to find a job willing to sponsor the visa, all within tight timelines. There's a 60 day grace period once you're laid off, but if the new petition is filed late, you have to leave and re-enter, etc. The timing is also difficult in this case, as hiring often slows down in Nov/Dec.
- bismuthcrystal 4y agoSince when it became reasonable to build a life on such a weak foundation?
- solardev 4y agoIt's the risk they take working in a foreign country. Many Americans have no job security or savings either. Hard to feel bad for foreigners who come here and earn Facebook salaries while sending money home and displacing local citizens and economies. I am the child of immigrants who did just that, BTW. Global labor is only good for capitalists and owners, not for everyday workers and residents and communities.
