SB827 is dead, this article seems kind of pointless. At this point it’s neither “next” nor “bold.”

The article does mention that actually, though its not the primary theme. "And low-skilled jobs in a city like San Francisco pay some of the highest wages in the country; the minimum wage here is twice what it is in much of America, a

You can give them plenty of signals that it's time to look for a new job before you fire them. Plus now there is a 60 day grace period for H-1Bs to try and find a new job.
