@jv You post this in every thread. I understand your frustration, but your posts aren't helpful.
My neighbor said: We’ve already paid more than enough taxes in California?????? As tech workers, we’ve been Paying ~ 40% of our O Income in taxes for decades with zero benefits from the government. Why don't we get free healthcare, free housing, free food stamps, free cash assistance plus on top of that, no income tax, no property tax, and no capital gains tax????? in San Mateo County, CA. What a cool system!! Got sick and tired paying a premium price for law enforcement and public services, only to get Walmart quality in return. LOL LOL LOL LOL
@cf Nope, his wife is also Indian
My neighbor said: “ American students spend $250K or more for a college education and then they get replaced by cheaper H1Bs using fake degrees brought over here by Oracle, what a cool system!!”

Why can they not build their dream in India?

Lawsuit says Musk's Tesla hires visa holders instead of Americans so it can pay less
..."The complaint said Tesla is dependent on holders of H-1B visas
, opens new tab for skilled workers, including in 2024 when it hired an estimated 1,355 visa holders while laying off more than 6,000 workers domestically, "the vast majority" believed to be U.S. citizens.
Tesla, based in Austin, Texas, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The lawsuit was brought by software engineer Scott Taub and human resources specialist Sofia Brander, who said Tesla refused to hire them after learning they would not need sponsorship for employment, an indication they were U.S. citizens.
Taub said he was dissuaded from seeking one job after being told it was for "H1B only," and not invited to interview for a second job. Brander said Tesla wouldn't interview her for two jobs though she had twice been a contract employee."
are we supposed to feel sorry for imported slave labor stealing our jobs?

About the Project
Alien: American Dream Denied spotlights the emotional journey of high-skilled, documented immigrants as they seek permanence in a country that benefits from their talent, but denies them a home.
America's competitive edge in science and technology depends heavily on high-skilled immigrants from around the world. Yet, while headlines inundate us with the challenges at America's borders, a different immigration issue has been unfolding within the country. The same talent that America depends on for continued success faces an uphill battle to remain as contributing residents.
The employment-based green card backlog has grown to 1.8 million people, and applicants from countries such as India face up to 195 years of waiting for green cards. Nearly 200,000 will likely die before they get out of the backlog. Over 250,000 minors risk deportation from the country they call home if they reach the age of 21 before their parents gain permanent residence.
Alien exposes the human toll of America’s dependence on high-skilled, legal immigrants and how the Indian immigrant community bears the heaviest burden. The film intimately follows five Indian high-skilled immigrants and their families as they build lives and families in this country in an uphill battle toward their American Dream...
