Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

H-1B visas are how our universities fill crucial teaching roles. Ending them would be disastrous to American higher education.
To this administration, that would be a feature not a bug.
Perhaps there could be a better way to fill those crucial teaching roles?
Here's the problem with that, when your university is trying to hire the foremost expert in (field of study) and they are not from the US, that means there isn't an American that can fill that role. H-1B visas are how that gets done. Why would you hire less than the best?
You need a professional degree or Masters or PhD to qualify for H1-B, with a job offer. i.e. no one who ever voted for MTG has ever been effected by an H1B visa holder.
Force the university to pay 10x the mean salary. That way the university is disincentivized to abuse the program. If he is truly the foremost expert in whatever field, then his salary should be a drop in the bucket compared to the grants he will need to actually do his research and it shouldn't be a big deal.
Do you understand that universities have to compete to get these people as it is? Go back to stacking boxes man
Some of them sure, but more often then not they hire adjunct professors, or use graduate students on visa's to ensure they don't have to pay tenured professors. I say if your employee is on a visa, 10x salary is the minimum. don't want to pay 10x salary? Well America is a large place with lots of people that are unemployed and over-educated, so maybe try to give-back to the society that you rely on.
You sound just like someone who has nothing at all to do with the process. This is what my wife does for a large college. You are incorrect on pretty much all of your assumptions.
LOL. With Americans educated in schools who prioritize sports teams? Good luck with that.
Maybe the visas should be tailored to only that, then. Or come up with a specialist visa meant entirely for that.
As is, they are also used by IT bros...
I had an H1-B for three years. I was one of thousands of PhDs who brought expertise to US labs. US biomedical research is primarily driven by H1-Bs because very few in the US can afford to be scientists with the cost and debt levels of US education. So, the best and brightest in US universities head to Wall street to steal money.
I was offered a US permanent position and a J-1 Visa. Three years was enough for me.
