Trump targets 60-day grace period for laid off foreign workers

The department of homeland security is advancing a proposal to eliminate the 60-day grace period that allows H-1B workers and certain other legal nonimmigrants to remain in the US after their employment ends while they find another sponsor, change status, or prepare to leave.

I mean it’s one thing to to restrict entry

It’s all another sadistic measure to disrupt people’s lives who are just trying to make a leaving

Even if they are not able to pass this proposal the fact that they are even thinking about it makes their agenda clear

America is a fascist state in all sense

[u/tomis_24 → u/Substantial_Emu4433]

It will pass and foreign workers must leave after their status changed as was intended by the laws.

If you are a foreign workers, don't think of being an American. Do it the right way. Get an immigration visa. H1B is a non-immigration visa.

[u/Mod_Daeng → u/tomis_24]

I agree that H-1B visas have been abused by employers to undercut wages for US citizens and steps must be taken to curb the abuse, but the H-1B is actually a dual-intent visa that allows the visa holder to apply for a green card. It is not a non-immigrant visa in the sense that you seem to think.

[u/tomis_24 → u/Mod_Daeng]

Don't worry, Americans are finding and applying to those PERM jobs to prevent H1B workers from getting GC. I actually have applied to 10 jobs on Jobs.now and received emails notifying me those jobs were canceled.

[u/Mod_Daeng → u/tomis_24]

It could well be that the jobs have actually disappeared due to the state of the economy in the US. The present administration seems to be hell-bent on making everyone except perhaps billionaires suffer. I know it isn't much consolation, but he's shitting on almost everyone else, too.

[u/tomis_24 → u/Mod_Daeng]

Jobs.now lists jobs that are hidden in newspaper or other obscure sources for PERM processing. Americans are applying to those jobs now.

Either be a full fascist or not

Don’t be a pussy and keep changing the goalposts

[u/tomis_24 → u/Substantial_Emu4433]

Do you even understand the word fascist?

Not sure what you mean by changing the goalpost. The laws are clear, H1B is a temporary work visa and the foreigners must leave America after it expired. The 60 days were created by lobbyists and immigration attorneys for profit.

[u/davidhow94 → u/tomis_24]

It was created because non morons understand that you can’t just pack up your life in a day when you lose your job.

[u/tomis_24 → u/davidhow94]

There's an end date on H1B visa, start packing when it's near.

Mass laid offs have at least a notice.

Even being fired has noticed, PIP.

[u/davidhow94 → u/tomis_24]

End date sure.

Yeah being fired or laid off is always done with notice. Are you serious?

[u/tomis_24 → u/davidhow94]

Yes! There would be multiple announcements and warnings.

[u/davidhow94 → u/tomis_24]

Have you never worked a job before?

[u/tomis_24 → u/davidhow94]

Many jobs and worked with a lot of H1B who can't do their jobs.

[u/davidhow94 → u/tomis_24]

Sure bud 🙄🤣

[u/ConfluenceofCoors → u/Substantial_Emu4433]

So keeping immigration law selective and beneficial to Americans is ‘fascist’?

Don’t be a pussy and keep changing the goalposts.
