A nuance of like to add, though: some of the ways of controlling immigration, in particular revocable economic visas, are _designed_ to push down the cost of labour at the expensive of natives.
IMHO, if you get permission to work in a country, it shouldn’t be revocable. The revocation just serves as a way of paying the immigrant, and therefore the native who could also do the job, less.
- throwaway2037 2y agoWhat is a "revocable economic visas"? I am not familiar with it.
- moomin 2y agoAn H1B is a good example. The company says they don’t need you, you have to leave the country.
- throwaway2037 2y agoI have worked under different visa in different countries. In most cases, if you lose your job (fired, downsizing, whatever), you need to leave in a few months (or find a job very quickly). This is not unique to the US H1B system.
