| schestowitz[TR2] | To all H1Bs | Sep 21 00:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | To All H1-B Workers in the US: A Message of Apology and Solidarity | Sep 21 00:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I am a U.S. citizen, and I want to offer my deepest and most sincere apologies to all H1-B workers who have been treated unjustly by fellow Americans. The way some people treat you is disgraceful, and I am truly sorry for it. | Sep 21 00:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | You came here seeking security, the right to a better life—just as every human being deserves. Even the dead have the right to lie in peace. We are all going to die someday, as a certain public figure recently said, but in the meantime, we all have the right to live with dignity, to live fully, and to contribute to the world before our time is up. | Sep 21 00:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | H1-B workers, please know this: not all of us are against you. You left your homes, your families, your ways of life to come to this country. You didn’t just come for your own good; you came for ours, too. You stayed and worked not just to build your own lives but to help us build ours. | Sep 21 00:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | You have contributed immensely to this nation—in sectors as diverse and vital as infrastructure, technology, healthcare, defense, energy, education, and finance. Your work has been foundational in making this country what it is today. Millions of Americans rely on you—not just to help grow the economy but to make our society stronger and more innovative. | Sep 21 00:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Your efforts do not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Without immigrants like you—who, by the way, are part of the very fabric of this nation—America wouldn’t be what it is. We are all immigrants here in some way, unless we are directly descended from Native Americans. This country, like every other, was built by people from many places, and we can’t forget that. | Sep 21 00:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | No one can deny anyone the right to live, to move, to seek a better life—whether on this land or any other. This is a basic human right, a God-given right. We all share this world together. | Sep 21 00:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Your worth is not defined by numbers or bureaucracy. Don’t let anyone take that from you. Those who seek to diminish you only diminish themselves in the process. | Sep 21 00:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | We know what’s happening. There are forces out there that are trying to exploit your work, use your talents, and then discard you when you’re no longer needed. They’ve built what they needed, and now they’re squeezing the rest of us for every last drop. But let’s be clear: these forces are not looking out for anyone’s best interests. They will not improve the lives of ordinary Americans by removing immigrants like you | Sep 21 00:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | —they will only continue to use, abuse, and discard us all. | Sep 21 00:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | There is a dangerous myth being spread that somehow, removing H1-B workers will open up opportunities for others. It won’t. The people cheering for your downfall are simply not capable of carrying the weight of progress on their own. They lack the dedication, the sacrifice, and the drive to make the same contributions you’ve made. Many of them have refused to work in low-wage, essential sectors like agriculture and hospitality, | Sep 21 00:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and now they think they can replace you? They cannot. They will not. | Sep 21 00:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This is an old story. It has played out across history: bring in workers, exploit them, and when they’re no longer needed, toss them aside. But it’s not just about the workers—this is about power. Those who govern, those in charge, have always used others for their own selfish purposes. When they break that trust, it’s never for the good of society—it’s to enrich themselves. | Sep 21 00:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | We are all just pawns in this game, but I want you to know that you are not alone. The fight for your rights, your dignity, and your future is the fight for everyone’s dignity. We are in this together. | Sep 21 00:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | We must stand up against the forces that seek to divide us, that peddle hatred and fear. We must refuse to let the narrative of laziness, division, and racism take hold. This is not just a battle for H1-B workers. It’s a battle for humanity, for equality, and for the future of our society. | Sep 21 00:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Your work is invaluable. Your presence in this country makes us better. And together, we will rise above those who seek to diminish us. | Sep 21 00:32 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | The H1B restrictions mainly impact people coming in from overseas. It's really aimed at those low-cost consultant hires, and that's going to hit companies like Infosys and TCS right in the wallet. | Sep 21 00:34 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | On the flip side, we need to fast-track the H1B process for students who are already here in the U.S. They've earned their degrees from our universities and are ready to contribute. Plus, with fewer foreign hires, the path to citizenship for those already here could get a lot smoother. The whole goal here is to reduce our reliance on outside firms and prioritize hiring American-educated talent who are ready to get to work. | Sep 21 00:34 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | If you are U.S degree holder or staying in U.S for long term and renew visa in U.S, you should be fine. No need to panic | Sep 21 00:34 |
