Most of the republican party hates the H1B program though, and in this epic economic downturn its these temporary work programs that are first on the chopping block. They are even forecasting 200 thousand H1Bs will become illegal in June.

I know Indians on H1B and lots of them are good people, and I haven't seen evidence of any imcompetence or forged skills.

That doesn't mean our hides are safe, it's just that they are closer to getting boned than we are but we are right after them. If not right before.

In any case, this extension of work permits is really just atole con el dedo. For you non latino undocs it means a "a small taste in a humiliating way."

Dems should offer a fair deal, DACAs for wall, but only after the supreme court finishes off DACA. These small deals only end up being permanently temporary.

Seven Years Eight Months since DACA started.

by the time my current DACA ends, I will have had 9 Years of DACA. but you know some people have such a hard-on for the law, myself included, that nope, we must do a strict interpretation.

Law reflects the ideal world of the writer at the time it was written, but the world is imperfect and full of undefined grey areas.

This is my home, I live in the grey area and only venture out sporadically.
