  This article is in stark contrast to how the same issue was treated when it was about Kashmir. I guess the implicit idea is that if a foreign government does it to a population, it is bad, but if a native government does it, the same exact policy is good? While India’s sudden decision to revoke Kashmir’s autonomy has inflamed tensions with neighboring Pakistan, critics say the move could also drastically alter the demographic composition of the disputed territory itself — and some have warned it could come to resemble Israeli settlement in the West Bank. By stripping Kashmir of its special status, India’s government has done away with a law that allowed Kashmir to limit land ownership and permanent residency to natives of the country’s only Muslim majority state. Analysts say the change could bring about a profound transformation of Kashmir’s population that would exacerbate unrest there. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2019/08/08/kashmirs-new-status-could-bring-demographic-change-drawing-comparisons-west-bank/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2019/08/08/kashmirs-new...

  I really don't care what they think. I have seen Americans lose their jobs to these H-1B visa holders. That's systemic abuse, full-stop. It's not about a labor shortage; it's about corporate America manipulating the labor market to their advantage.

  We had like, tech layoffs, 264,220 in 2023 to 150,034 in 2024. I know a few tech people who are still unemployed after numerous layoffs. And, I also know of entire departments that are all H1B at multiple fortune 500 companies, so don't tell me they couldn't find 1 US citizen. So to me, it seems like we have some H1B fraud going on.
