That is the point of most of these programs. If we (as a country) do h1b, those people should be on an automatic path to a green card.
- profdevloper 9mo agoWhy? They are obviously being weaponized to suppress wages for native Americans in an environment where tech leaders were saying "learn to code". I think the H1B needs to be cancelled and companies should incur financial penalties for using foreign labor to undercut American workers.
- BobaFloutist 9mo ago>native Americans I know you don't mean indigenous people, so what's the cutoff? Is it birthright citizenship? But then what about naturalized citizens? And if they count, thennare they screwing over "natives" up and until their swearing in when they instantly join the screwed, or is it more of a continuous spectrum of screwer/screwed? Or, in the other direction, does your family need to have been here a couple of generations for you to count?

- x0x0 9mo agoMaking h1b an automatic track to a green card (partially) removes the ability for employers to exploit employees on an h1b.
- profdevloper 9mo agoHiring American workers at current market wages avoids this problem entirely.
