Plumb shared a page from a federal labor certification report alongside a sharply worded caption that read, “Amazon – who ‘eliminated’ 30k roles between their October and January layoff waves has had 33,181 H-1B positions certified in FY26. If you can’t see what’s happening, your eyes are closed.”

    I remember when Trump said the was going to do something about companies abusing H1Bs. I’m sure he’s still working on it…any day now.

    its amazing how blind usa people are. This is exactly what they feared and voted against. 30,000 tech jobs in the usa replaced by immigrants . Yeah i know you voted to MAGA. This is what you get in return for supporting MAGA.

      Americans are good at creating self-fulfilling prophecies through their constant irrational fears while ignoring the actual ass fuckings they’re receiving. And then lots of innocent people get to fall victim to all the idiots bursting at the seams in this joke of a country.

        I mean American jobs are going to immigrants in this instance so is it irrational?

          Yeah, victim blaming is generally irrational. And, you know, pretty fucking lame.

          If you believe the immigrants are the ones with agency here, you’re choosing willful ignorance. The Epstein class are the enemies, not a bunch of poor schmucks who have it even worse than me - not to mention the chances they’ll have their immigrant status exploited against them is pretty much guaranteed.

    H-1B abuse is absolutely a problem, but I want to emphasize that it’s not the individual workers that are the problem. Amazon and government polices are the problem.

    I think many MAGA and Conservatives see this and blame the immigrants themselves, rather than the corporations exploiting their labor.
