The Great Fake H1-B Controversy The Narcissism of Small Differences
Substack ^ | 12/30/2024 | Roger Simon

Posted on 12/30/2024 5:55:32 AM PST by Sir_Humphrey

Sigmund Freud had a term for it—the “narcissism of small differences”.

In this case, Wikipedia explains it well: “… the more a relationship or community shares commonalities, the more likely the people in it are to engage in interpersonal feuds and ridicule because of hypersensitivity to minor differences.”

We all recognize this pattern that manifests in various ways from the bickering of married couples to successful rock bands breaking up. The most minor disputes explode into major ones that no one wanted in the first place with sometimes disastrous results.

This fits the internal MAGA dispute over H1-B visas to the proverbial T. The only ones who profit from this kerfuffle, or whatever it is, are the left and their fading media

Just because there is disagreements over whether or not the Indentured Servants visa programs should continue, or not, does not suddenly make the Burisma Bidens, Cash Guru Fani gets Kash attention, Pelosi Insider Profits, and the truth of the horrible leaders on the left will suddenly capitalize. They have their own issues that they should resolve. But since they don’t then they aren’t then they aren’t an option to consider for leadership & representation.

do wish Rs would save their venom for internal back channels - except for Dems, of course. we don’t need to be strident warriors when debating w/in the family: only when we’re at war with Dems. try 20 decibels, not 1200~

Well, okay. But does that mean those of us concerned about H1-B abuses should just keep quiet? I think not.

Musk and Viveck did this to themselves by trashing Americans and the doubling of H1B visas to further push Americans, especially white America
Is out of the corporate world.

How is it that Europeans are not able to take advantage of the H1B visa? In 2019 India got 75% and China got 12% of all H1B visas for a total of 87%, where are the Europeans? H1B is and anti-white racist scam to colonize America and diminish the native population.

Graham Greene mentioned this in his last novel, Monsignor Quixote : "The believer will fight another believer over a shade of difference: the doubter fights only with himself.”

This post is exactly what I would expect from a slimy RINO that has in his about page “I am a proud “RINO”. BUT my definition of a RINO is most likely 180 degrees different than yours.”

You are Americans Last.

In case you haven’t gotten the memo, most of the worlds population is in India and China.

"In case you haven’t gotten the memo, most of the worlds population is in India and China."

So? Just because they're overpopulated we owe them the right to colonize us? They're already 330 million Americans we have plenty of talent here. We don't need to be colonized and replaced by our enemies. If I take your idiotic argument to its logical extreme all of Indian China should be invited come over here by the hundreds of millions and the American citizens should just shut up and fade away. Go to hell.

Spoken like a true country club RINO who wants the Republican base to shut up and be led from the top by bastards who hate them. Those days are done.

I would say this to Roger Simon.

If you believe your daughters experience means American workers are not being discriminated against go read the Cognizant lawsuit. Also find out what jean claude franchitti had to say who worked at the company.

Meanwhile,🫣🤪🤮

About a third of the world’s population is in India and China, about 9% in Europe.

Add Steve Bannon and his ragtag bunch of online clout chasers to the list. They seem keen on pushing this narrative too.

Their goal seems different although clicks and views are how these folks make their living.

In case you haven’t got the memo, who cares?

I thought we were suppised to reduce the population to save the planet.

And China eas building three coal-fred power plants per week for awhile, and hasn’t slacked off.

Troll.

And Indians explicitly fight using this program (and the abuse of it) to bring in more and more barely qualified IT techs.

Microsoft is one of the biggest proponents of it.

I have no problem getting a qualified programmer - my company hired an excellent French programmer under an H1B - but the HR overhead meant that any cost savings was severely diminished. In 1999.

Both times I applied to work at IT companies, and thought that I won the job, I was unselected in favor of a lower paid Indian worker by Indian HR staff. In 2016 and 2017.

It’s rules are not evenly applied.

H1B controversy has exposed the difference between the America first and Trump is the Messiah crowd. I feel like when I finally figured that the Bush Dynasty was very bad.

1. Get a Speaker ASAP and confirm the election. Jan. 3.

2. Inaugurate Trump Jan. 20 at noon.

3. Loose the Hound Of Hell, i.e., Homan, Jan 20 at 1pm.

4. Take care of everything else, including to rein in the DOGE boys. Make them understand their “place”
