Only for my fellow H1B Visa Holders
Wild Idea! Unlike EB5, how about the govt changes rule for getting GC when somebody hits a tax amount of ~$1M in their time here Do you guys think it would work? TC: 320K
If you consider the tax paid on base pay alone, sure 😆
US citizens don’t want new people coming in. Period. They complain about Mexicans because they don’t contribute to the economy or are strain on the economy. They also complain about the high earning H1B holders because they are taking away high paying jobs from US citizens. They also complain about low earning H1B holders because they aren’t highly talented so, there’s no need to bring them in. In short, any legislation to ease the life of immigrants will always be unpopular with the US voters. Therefore no politician will do anything to fix the broken or outdated immigration laws.
Truth.
True. Illegal immigration > legal immigration
How does this benefit voters? Once you solve that, you’ll have a proposal. Politicians care about votes.
They should create an additional tax only for immigrants that gets distributed to citizens for letting them live and work here
Medicare, social security tax are the same. Immigrants almost never get the benefits of these. Even the federal income tax benefits US citizens much more than it does to immigrants. Large portion of that goes to defense spending, welfare programs which doesn’t benefit immigrants. So you are not doing any charity by “letting them live and work here”. They contribute to the US economy much more than what they get from it.
Yeah but we might as well do what big tech companies do best and increase prices until it gets to the point that people won’t pay and then lower it just below that threshold. I think most of the people from India would still come here even if they had to pay an additional 5% tax because they’d still be coming out far ahead of what they’d get if they went to make their own countries economy better. It’s not like the U.S. has a limited supply of people wanting to come work here
How about make H1B rotational, a max limit of 5 years stay and same person cannot come back for next 5 years. Less people and more people will get opportunity and reduce load on US and Indians as well. cause you know the dollar money pump up inr housing market which need to be stopped.
Destabilization your life every 5 years is not a practical solution. Imagine taking kids off the school every 5 years and repeating it every 5 years Also, 5 years is a good enough time to get used to a lifestyle that you just decide to stay back. Causes a lot of brain drain for the companies and the Country
1. not everyone have kids. 2. Don't move your family 3. No brain drain as company can shift to their Indian base. 4. Well if one don't think about their kids and family while moving to US, why to give excuse while moving back. Also, don't move back every 5 years.
The hottest topic in r/cscareerquestions is https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/s/y7yZZsfVR9 “Indian managers who hire other Indians almost exclusively “ read the comments very illuminating. The bottom line is most Americans don’t want us here anymore. Just be glad we can renew h1 indefinitely after i140 and continue to earn. The more we complain and act entitled the more will general public opinion go more against us.
No ones doing us a favour by letting us be here.. we’re doing them a favour by the work we do.. and we deserve more rights than we currently have
How about just remove the damn country quota.. and how about we educate the Indians in India how messed up the system is so they stop coming .. only when us faces consequences will they learn
They won’t care. They were fine before we came and will be fine if we stop
Another guy thinking we are doing a favor coming here
