And regarding H1B, I'm curious to see how it plays out since both Trump and Harris are on record supporting and eyeing an increase in H1B. Will Vance help turn Trump back to opposing them and committing to end H1B despite the money from tech billionaires?
I am all in for a union.
I think you have your facts mistaken. President Trump tried to reform the H-1B program to prioritize jobs for Americans by enforcing the rules for proving the business need and increasing the pay of H-1B workers to make them less attractive relative to American workers.
You might be thinking of Trump's position on H-2B workers, who are seasonal (non-agricultural) hospitality workers. Trump hires a lot of foreign workers for his hotels.

Was there ever a time when there was a union to represent the skilled draftsman’s trade in the automotive industry?
As much as I despise unions, I have to agree.
If not a union, some kind of guild.
Tech workers are screwed regardless. Too many people believe the AI hype.Anyone who believes that hiring warm bodies out of India to do anything but rote work is a good idea is delusional.
Solutions to work visa abuse should include:
- require visa employees be paid a substantial margin over the median wage including visa workers;
- allow visa portability without penalty for job hopping;
- exclude visa workers from hiring decisions;
- enacting ( and enforcing ) penalties for recruiting visa workers fraudulently;
- outlawing foreign recruiters placing visa workers;
- not allowing visa workers on government projects without specific legislative authorization for specific projects;
- corporate death for work visa abuse enablers;
- tar and feathers for a lot of people who should have known better.
I’m sure there’s more.
