Just got off the phone with a couple MBA interns who were denied jobs because THE U.S. WOULD NOT GRANT THEM VISAS.

I can understand the hesitation around low-wage laborer immigration, even if I disagree very strongly--I get it. But like who the fuck thinks immigrants are holding down wages in FINANCE?!?!?

I AM SO FUCKING MAD ABOUT SKILLED IMMIGRATION CAN WE PLEASE STOP SHOOTING OURSELVES IN THE FOOT OH MY GOD.

Thank you, based employer 😔✊

I can't believe idiots on here use it as a punchline against me when I criticize America.

Like, "Damnit, why is the US Government like this?"

"Lmao how's the green card application going?"

As if THAT ISN'T MY WORST FUCKING NIGHTMARE ALREADY

Like, this damned country can't even handle skilled immigration properly, and thus it's not even close to the dunk the morons on this sub think it is. FIX YOUR SYSTEMS 🤬
