Can they not increase the amount of visas they can give out?

- ljsprague 1y agoAmerica's a nation; not an economic zone.
- zem 1y agoit's a nation whose current immigration policies are largely driven by racism. h1b visas tend to largely go to people from countries the current administration considers undesirable, so the chances of them increasing the allocated number are extremely low.
- ljsprague 1y agoCan you point to another nation whose immigration policies are driven by anti-racism?
- zaptheimpaler 1y agoYes it's a nation not an ethnostate. Americans are united by shared values and attitudes not skin color.
- ljsprague 1y agoWhat if shared values are correlated with shared ancestry.
- s0sa 1y agoOnly color that matters here is green
- zem 1y agoyou would think so, but the american government has had a consistent track record of sacrificing things that would make economic sense on the altar of racism, and with trump in the white house they are having a "say the quiet parts out loud" extravaganza.
- geodel 1y agowho is getting it today?
- truncate 1y agoThey may get creative and start doing same thing as do with greencard. X% cap on country of birth.
- khuey 1y agoCongress would have to change the law.
- stackskipton 1y agoThey could but Congress would have to get involved. H-1B visa increase is likely to be heavily unpopular with voters. This American voter for sure would not be thrilled.
