I just want to vet who is coming in like almost every other developed country regularly does. I have a coworker in Canada who can’t enter the country due to a visa snafu right now. A guy who has never committed a crime in his life and has a really good job for a US based company, and he can’t enter the US to do his job. Like No One says, try getting into Canada with a DUI on your record. But then we have this shit at the southern border. Make it make sense.
You were so close to figuring it out.
We spend all of our money and all this angst chasing around Mexicans who are coming here to pick crops and wash dishes, so the agency processing visas for your co-worker is underfunded and your buddy has to wait.
Add to that the GOP is so hyper focused on telling their base they are tough on immigration that they oppose H1-B's anyway, because all those Cletus' that finished their GED last month at 30 aren't getting a job at Nvidia because Nvidia hired some Indian guy with a PhD from MIT instead.
