[00:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	To all H1Bs
[00:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	To All H1-B Workers in the US: A Message of Apology and Solidarity
[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.
[00:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	You came here seeking security, the right to a better lifejust 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.
[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 didnt 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.
[00:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	You have contributed immensely to this nationin 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 younot just to help grow the economy but to make our society stronger and more innovative.
[00:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	Your efforts do not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Without immigrants like youwho, by the way, are part of the very fabric of this nationAmerica wouldnt 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 cant forget that.
[00:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	No one can deny anyone the right to live, to move, to seek a better lifewhether on this land or any other. This is a basic human right, a God-given right. We all share this world together.
[00:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	Your worth is not defined by numbers or bureaucracy. Dont let anyone take that from you. Those who seek to diminish you only diminish themselves in the process.
[00:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	We know whats happening. There are forces out there that are trying to exploit your work, use your talents, and then discard you when youre no longer needed. Theyve built what they needed, and now theyre squeezing the rest of us for every last drop. But lets be clear: these forces are not looking out for anyones best interests. They will not improve the lives of ordinary Americans by removing immigrants like you
[00:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	they will only continue to use, abuse, and discard us all.
[00:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	There is a dangerous myth being spread that somehow, removing H1-B workers will open up opportunities for others. It wont. 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 youve made. Many of them have refused to work in low-wage, essential sectors like agriculture and hospitality,
[00:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	 and now they think they can replace you? They cannot. They will not.
[00:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	This is an old story. It has played out across history: bring in workers, exploit them, and when theyre no longer needed, toss them aside. But its not just about the workersthis is about power. Those who govern, those in charge, have always used others for their own selfish purposes. When they break that trust, its never for the good of societyits to enrich themselves.
[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 everyones dignity. We are in this together.
[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. Its a battle for humanity, for equality, and for the future of our society.
[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.

[00:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	MICROSOFT'S INTERNAL H-1B GUIDANCE JUST LEAKED
[00:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	Microsoft tells employees:
[00:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	    If in US: "Remain in the U.S. for the foreseeable future" to "avoid being denied reentry"
[00:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	    H-4 dependents: Also stay in US (even though proclamation doesn't mention them)
[00:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	    If abroad: "Strongly recommend you return to the U.S. tomorrow before the deadline"
[00:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	    Extensions/Status changes: Likely unaffected if you're currently in the US
[00:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	Microsoft setting up individual tracking for employees outside US and admits "there isn't much time to make sudden travel arrangements"
[00:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	Translation:
[00:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	Even Microsoft with unlimited legal resources is telling H-1B workers to avoid international travel entirely.
[00:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	If Microsoft is this cautious, everyone should be.

[00:34]	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.
[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.
[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

[00:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	Simple answer, hire American and stop importing slave labor.
[00:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	If they are truly exceptional and critical for business, you'll pay the minimum 250k a year for them.

[00:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	This is a real crisis for many other tech companies. I imagine all executive and HR teams will be having a very stressful weekend as they try to figure out their strategies to weather this.

[00:36]	schestowitz[TR2]	The United States is not a globalist corporate piggy bank.
[00:36]	schestowitz[TR2]	A country exists for its culture and citizens.
[00:36]	schestowitz[TR2]	The attempt to overrun America with globalist marxists is being fought. H1B has been one of those tools to destabilize.
[00:36]	schestowitz[TR2]	It is time to make appropriate adjustments.

[00:36]	schestowitz[TR2]	I dont think people would have had issues with H1Bs if they were diverse. Since they all come from one country and that ethnicity is now taking over all tech positions, the domestic base does not like it. This was bound to happen for a long time, I am just surprised it took this long

[00:36]	schestowitz[TR2]	Indians and in general H1Bs need to start packing. If you go back for vacation you will not be allowed back in without depisiting $100k or your employer doing that. Go read the proclamation if you do not believe me. It is over in the USA if you are an H1B. Companies will never pay that for an average or below average employee.

[00:38]	schestowitz[TR2]	Microsoft cares more about low wage h1bshts than Americans
[00:38]	schestowitz[TR2]	"Most Every corporations ONLY cares about making MONEY!!! Humans can be replaced with robots and they already are.
[00:38]	schestowitz[TR2]	TACO taking action on H1B applicants outside of the country is "TOO LATE". Many jobs are now being lost to AI (and many American jobs were lost due to H1B and out sourcing).
[00:38]	schestowitz[TR2]	TACO's executive order doesn't do much since H1B jobs in US will be given to those graduating with a US degree that are currently on F1 visa in USA. The fee of $100K is only for those outside of USA. Not for those already in USA (like foreign students studying in US colleges)."
