Sure, but that would been one, maybe two press conferences about it. For the topic to continue to get attention, it has to be rage inducing. The alternative here would be to claim that the state was going to crack down and prosecute those

This situation is keeping his name in the spotlight, and people will, in general, be more likely to vote for names that they recognize. I don't believe that there is any other reason here.

This may also be a nit-picking response, but the sponsoring company is not the one "giving out" H1B visas. They can sponsor it, and request it, but visas are only issued by the US government.

> H1Bs can transfer employers, it just takes a couple of weeks and some paperwork My understanding is that yes, this is technically true. However it's not a H1B holder telling the government "I'm taking this new job, FYI

An H1B is only "valid" for 3 years. It can be extended once for an additional 3 years. It being FAANG doesn't change that. Your argument appears to be against the fact that additional extensions are possible after an an indiv

When it comes to the topic of H1-B exploitation, there is no way I'm going to say that it doesn't exist. But I will say that there is a huge gap between FAANG H1B, and Tata/Infosys/etc H1B abuse.

No, they work by being able to issue a cert for the specific domain that is pointed at them. It does not work by allowing them to issue a wildcard cert for the entire domain. For example, `nrmitchi.com` is pointed at Netlify. Netlify can

Sure, but if you don't want to keep up to date with something, don't write an article about it. If you choose to write an article in 2021 about it, I would expect some level of updated research first.
