The Silicon Valley immigration priority was not the topic I thought would explode and fracture the tenuous MAGA alignment with the New Big Tech group represented by Elon Musk and his billionaire network. However, we learn more every day. This is a jaw-dropping moment to watch unfold as a very influential sector of the political discourse begins a full-frontal attack against those who are pointing out how the tech community abuse H1B visas to replace American workers. In the background, of course, is the context of widespread immigration policy fraud being one of the priorities for the average Trump supporter.
The Silicon Valley team do not seem to review discussion of the H1B manipulation/fraud within the larger American economy as a problem, as long as the discussion of the visa fraud does not impact their business models. However, as soon as the H1B abuse started to be framed around Silicon Valley’s participation therein, the New Big Tech group take a nuclear war approach to defending their interests.
(Musk tweet)
Having followed the immigration issue for a long time, yet specifically only having a big picture review of the H1B visa issues, it has been astounding to watch how Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, David Sacks and the Silicon Valley supporters and influencers are responding to having the H1B visa fraud confronted. The self-interest in their defense is just astronomical to watch unfold.
Empowered by what can only be reasonably defined as their perceived influence over President Trump, the new-era Tech team are quite forcefully telling the MAGA base of Trump-supporting American workers that their concerns, views and perspectives are irrelevant.

Trump wants green card visa (permanent resident visa) given to all foreign students who graduate from an American university. He does not say STEM only.
Tell that to Blue Origin. SpaceX is where they are because of the people who invented, developed, tested, and reproduced their unique capabilities. If Musk couldn't keep those talented people, we'd be talking about their failures.
“The reason I’m in America along with so many people who built Space X, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B.
“Take a big step back and...in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.”
(said to be by) Elon Musk
I said meaningful.
Show me Blue Origin’s number of successful launches and cost/lb of payload compared to SpaceX.
And the entire SpaceX is bullcrap. Did’t Musk say we needed to further improve efficiency by a factor of 1,000 (not 1,000%) to make the technology economically viable?
On the bright side, Trump, Vivek & Elon are against DEI & working to eliminate that particular form of discrimination. There may be a promotion in your future. :-)
I think this H1B business really has blown up in their faces. They should be making an issue of our education system if they really believe Americans aren’t up to these jobs.
But we aren’t.
Space X has bested the best the world has to offer by a very wide margin. There is no equality, Blue Origin will be permitted to salvage NASA’s reputation.
The Glen will finally be tested to see if it can in fact actually liftoff and achieve orbit. The FAA granted permission in the final days of the Biden tyranny
Boeing flat out stated they wanted 20% (that’s 1 in 5) of all applicants to be black and not to close out the job requisition until 20% was achieved. Then, Boeing stated that if a black applicant was interviewed then the black had to be hired or else the hiring manager needed to explain why not. Same with women. Boeing’s DEI “executive” was a big fat black woman that was nothing but a criminal racist. The board of directors backed her, too.
This happened in every large company I knew of; from Boeing, to Qwest, to Comcast, etc. I worked in the Denver market and it was run primarily by Indians or women. Indians hired Indians and the women followed DEI practices. In both cases, no white men allowed.
That’s because they work in Tech or own hotels/stores.
The war on the white male continues. All of unconstitutional
Still a major split almost reminiscent of the Chinese population in a number of countries in Southeast Asia.
Elon was an illegal alien. He violated his student visa to become an H1B.
Vivek is an anchor baby.
One comment from patriots.win:
“The people hurt most by H1b are entry level. They would rather hire the indentured servant H1b than a US citizen who will switch jobs for a huge raise once they get experience.”
“They should be making an issue of our education system if they really believe Americans aren’t up to these jobs.”
Bad-mouthing our public K-12 education system is cheap and easy to do. I believe much of it is not justified.
Remember, H-1B employers might be mandated to provide (or pay for) education for the children of employees (and outsiders if they provide less than two school places per employee) and given tax credits for say 70% of the cost.
“Elon is an enemy of this country. The mask is off.”
The biggest problem the USA faces is the lack of relationship skills.
One should seek to curtail disputes, give more than you take and seek win-win outcomes.

Is that your suggestion to musk ?
or are you just cruising in your usual cisa-like bovine scat.
“As a white Christian male in tech, I can confirm that I’ve been passed over for work in lieu of “people of color” and women. If you’ve ever been interviewed by a big tech company, you are entitled to a Data Subject Request (DSR), and they are required to provide it to you. Turns out one of mine had notes from interviewers who went so far as to say, “More than qualified, but white.””
This is happened to me too. I remember in the 90s when 95% of programmers was white and men but 50% of management was women. They women would get hired, often make an ass of themselves and they still would get promoted up to middle and upper management.
