Article F@#$ed up when used the word “skilled”. That is not the purpose of H1B. The purpose (& I have hired in that program) is to import defacto slaves.


Exactly. Indentured servitude by another name. Nothing new under the sun.

Remember, the H1B/H4/OPT will tell you they’re high-skilled labor.
All that matters is price.

Seems to have happened on or about 9/29/2025, 8:39:21 PM, when his last Putin thread didn't gain as much attention.

The chaps over on the SpeedyInTexas thread, running since 2/24/2024 and with over 20 thousand comments, keep pinging him and he hasn't been playing over there. So it's probably the light switch. On. Then off.

India and the H1-Bs are a much more fruitful troll.

He can impact FR fundraising much more with this one.

He'll start in on China imports, next.

My boss in IT told me one time that there are programmers, and there are programmer-analysts.

He and I were programmer-analysts. One of the guys who worked for the department was a programmer.

I was asking my boss why the programmer dude was such a dim bulb, and how could it be that he was a computer programmer.

Maybe explain why posting H-1b threads is triggering you. Go ahead.

mucus shifted from all Ukraine-all the time to all H1-B/India all the time.

It's obvious - with the assistance of many of those who don't like the Uniparty's long-time position on H1-Bs [pretty much ALL of us don't like the Uniparty's long-time position on H1-Bs - duh], he's trying to impact fund-raising by presenting us as mouthbreathing xenophobes. I'd be embarrassed to tell someone who isn't familiar with the way we post about this website now.

So, it's working.

Previously, along with really big graphics and such his style was:

"Pack your bags. You're going home."

"Durka durka. Pack your bags, Jugdish". ( repeated )

"Jump on the Vance train, Ivan". ( repeated )

So many more examples as to easily show the intent. Sow irritation with Freepers.

Wow. You have it so wrong. This is helping fund raising. You are weird and sick . There is NOTHING xenophobic about opposing the Legal immigration invasion from India and elsewhere.

You are the enemy within.

100k per year in visa fees is a pittance to pay for people who really do have skills that are hard to find. The whiners on this are being dishonest. And there is no denying the fact that this program has been full of tremendous fraud.

I call that his “one-liner trolling”.

Bumper sticker slogan “cleverness”. Trying to get your car keyed - which is why my vehicles don’t sport bumper stickers.
