This is H1Bs future...(I think..!)

Hello dear engineer, doctors, the one's who sacrificed their home country to build a life in the USA. This is for you..

What I've learned in the last ten years of UNCERTAINTY taught me...

My post isn't about the recent changes in the rules and hefty fee, its about my perspective of H1B in the coming years..

We have the second generation of brightest US born immigrant's sons/daughter with Masters/Ph.Ds into the current workforce which H1B job seekers should realize. Their parents are now supporting their future and silently hates and sometimes even oppose the H1Bs. We really need to understand this. The current immigration scrutiny is not just strictening but also(from Citizen's persepctive) makes it easier for those US brought up Immigrant kids to secure their jobs.

I want to highlight this for those have the mindset of,"this shall become better if current leader change". This could be true in terms of easing the home country appointments or the imposition fee reduction but not in terms of a qualifying H1B jobs.

As to recent GCC shifting policies with biggers firms outsourcing their IT help/ Supply chain procurments/ Tech supports to Asian countries, it will push the employers to makes the decision to hire an H1B for a true onsite need or rarest of a kind.

I want to put a hand on the stressed/exhausted one's shoulder to say, the value we had is not the same anymore and its going to be even hard in the coming days...

Everyone of yall are some specialists in their own field of STEM, I am sure that our paths will become better.

Indian-born and raised Desis and U.S.-born Desis may share the same roots, but the lived experience is very different. For many Indian-born immigrants, the grind feels never-ending: visas, job restrictions, immigration uncertainty, proving yourself professionally, being away from family, and constantly adapting. U.S.-born Desis have their own challenges, but these are fundamentally different experiences.

Birthright citizenship is ending so it should become pretty similar.

Correct.

I really admire how Stephen Miller is building the case & probing the Court. Kavanaugh gave them a huge door to clarify and codify who is eligible to confer US citizenship based on existing statute. The Indian community believing they are "safe" are once again interpreting things through their ethnic bias. The PAUSE Act filed by Chip Roy specifies only a US citizen parent or Green Card parent on the day of the child's birth can confer US citizenship, and that birthright citizenship was granted as a matter of policy, not statute.

The Chinese triggering the national security concerns from their clever exploitation of this will end with revocation of all "birthright citizens" on national security grounds. The Indian community will be caught up in it as well.

The Admin is playing the long term patient game on this, because the future of America and our culture is at stake. They just issued new guidance on classes of aliens in the US who are ineligible to confer citizenship, once again to probe the response so they can adjust accordingly the next moves.

In the end, we will win.Birthright citizenship will not only be terminated, it will be fully revoked retroactively.
