Not looking forward to the next few years of people who know absolutely nothing about H-1B on all sides of the political spectrum spouting nonsense about it

@skinnylatte My take is simple. Open borders. No slavery or indentured servitude for any reason.

@skinnylatte I think we're on the same page. I mean US (and other "passport privilege") borders should be fully open, even moreso than other borders were to folks with passport privilege, to absolutely everyone, without any document requirements.

@dalias I agree on principle, but we are at the ‘some liberals think they should call ICE on H1B immigrants because Elon likes H1B’ stage of politics

This is a concrete issue for right now, we don’t have any political material or capacity to move towards an abstract ideology

@skinnylatte Yes that's just 🤮 🤡 💩 but it's going to harm ppl.

I was trying to say I'm not going to participate in that discourse but instead seek to move the Overton window.

@skinnylatte And FWIW "call ICE" is unconditionally wrong/evil regardless of what a person did. Arguably there are some situations where you have to call normal police despite ACAB, but there is never a justification to call ICE.

@dalias @skinnylatte If I'm ever asked "How to solve the crisis at the border", I'd say, "Step one: give members of ICE and the Border Patrol 24 hours to resign".

@foolishowl @skinnylatte That's generous. What I'd say probably violates instance rules so I'll refrain.
