Please eliminate H1B visa to save America!đ
AI
The H-1B is a labor-market program, not a national-security emergency. Eliminating it would change who gets hired in a few industries; it would not âsave America.â
H-1B is a temporary visa for âspecialty occupationsâ that require at least a bachelorâs degree. The statutory cap is 65,000 plus 20,000 for holders of U.S. advanced degrees. Demand far exceeds that, so most slots are allocated by lottery. In practice it is dominated by computer occupations and by Indian and Chinese nationals, and a large share of petitions come from IT services and outsourcing firms rather than from product companies hiring scarce researchers.
Arguments for scrapping it are real, and they are narrower than the slogan.
Outsourcing and staffing firms have used the visa to place lower-cost contract workers into roles American employees already fill. There are documented cases of U.S. workers training their H-1B replacements as a condition of severance. The prevailing-wage system is gameable: employers can pick a lower wage level inside a broad occupation and metro area, so the legal floor is often below what a comparable U.S. hire would get in a tight market. Lottery allocation does not select for the highest skill or the highest wage. Dependency and extension rules also give employers leverage over the worker that a citizen or green-card holder does not have.
Arguments against elimination are also real.
A large share of petitions, especially the advanced-degree cap and direct hires at product companies, are for people who already studied in the U.S. or who take roles employers say they cannot fill at the wage they are offering. Empirical work is mixed: some studies find modest wage pressure in specific computer occupations and local labor markets; others find complementary effects, with H-1B-heavy firms expanding overall headcount, patents, and startups rather than a one-for-one substitution. Killing the category does not automatically convert those jobs into citizen hires at the same salary. Firms can offshore the work, automate it, raise the wage until a citizen accepts, or leave the role empty. Which of those happens depends on the job.
âSave Americaâ overclaims either side. The program is small relative to the U.S. labor force. It does not set housing costs, fiscal deficits, Kâ12 outcomes, or opioid deaths. It does affect a visible slice of tech and consulting hiring, and that slice has been abused.
If the goal is to stop displacement and wage arbitrage, abolition is a blunt instrument. The levers that actually target the complaints are: a high wage floor or auction instead of a lottery, a ban or tight cap on third-party placement, stricter degree-to-job matching, site visits aimed at body shops, and an end to the indenture-like dependence created by green-card backlogs. A pure wage-ranked system would keep scarce specialists and drop the lowest-paid contract placements without pretending the visa is the countryâs central problem.

So we need to ban B1 J1 F1 all ALL visa in US and save American workers!!!
AI
B-1, J-1, and F-1 are not H-1B, and banning every visa would not save American workers. It would shut down travel, tuition, and short exchanges that mostly do not compete for payroll jobs.
These categories do different things:
- **B-1** is a short business-visitor status. It allows meetings, conferences, and contract negotiations. It does not authorize taking a U.S. job. Abuse exists (people working while claiming visitor status), but the legal category is not a work visa.
- **F-1** is for full-time students. Work is restricted: limited on-campus hours, curricular practical training tied to the degree, and optional practical training after or during study. Students pay tuition. Public universities and many private ones depend on that revenue. OPT is the part that actually touches the labor market, and it is a separate rule from the student visa itself.
- **J-1** is an exchange umbrella: research scholars, students, physicians in training, au pairs, camp counselors, summer work travel. Some of those are labor programs. Some are not. Treating the whole category as a jobs program is inaccurate.
- **âAll visasâ** also covers tourists, diplomats, air crews, and treaty traders. Tourist spending supports hotels, restaurants, and retail. Ending that does not create manufacturing or software jobs; it removes demand for the jobs that already exist in those sectors.
American workers are not protected by a rule that no foreigner may enter. They are affected when a visa is used as a substitute for a citizen hire at a lower wage or under employer control. That complaint fits parts of H-1B staffing, some J-1 seasonal and au-pair placements, and F-1 OPT in computer occupations. It does not fit a conference trip, a parent visiting a student, or a masterâs student paying full freight and barred from off-campus work.
A ban on every status also fails on its own terms. Firms that want the labor can move the work offshore. Universities lose fee-paying students and the research assistants attached to grants. Tourism and business travel drop without a matching rise in citizen employment. Enforcement against illegal work and visa overstays is a different policy from abolishing legal entry.
If the target is wage arbitrage, the relevant tools are still narrow: wage floors and third-party-placement limits on H-1B, tighter rules on which J-1 categories can do ordinary jobs, and limits on OPT duration or employer dependence. Collapsing B-1, F-1, J-1, and every other visa into one prohibition does not follow from that target.
Me
In this way no one will compete with me and I will be saved.
I won't get fired for a foreign visa invader to replace
AI
A total visa ban would not stop you from being fired, and it would not remove the people who can replace you.
Employers fire people for three ordinary reasons: the work can be done cheaper, the work can be done elsewhere, or the work can be done by fewer people. A visa is only one route to the first of those.
The replacement pattern you are describing is real in a narrow slice of the market. Some IT staffing firms have brought in H-1B contractors and had U.S. employees train them as a condition of severance. That is a visa-mediated substitution, usually in contract programming and support roles where the task is specified and the wage gap is the point. It is not how most firings happen, and it is not what a B-1 visitor, an F-1 student barred from off-campus work, or a tourist is doing.
Closing every visa leaves the other two routes intact. The same task can be sent to an office abroad, where no U.S. visa is required at all. It can be handed to another citizen or permanent resident who will take the seat for less, or to a smaller team plus software. Firms already do all three. A ban on entry changes the mix; it does not create a protected claim on your current job.
Your risk is substitutability, not the existence of a visa category. Roles with a written spec, commodity skills, and a large outside supply get replaced, whether the replacement is a contractor on H-1B, a team in another country, or a domestic hire. Roles tied to local presence, scarce judgment, customer relationships, or responsibility for the outcome are harder to swap out person-for-person. Nothing in immigration law awards the second kind of job, and nothing in a ban preserves the first kind.
âNo one will compete with meâ is also false on domestic grounds. Other Americans compete for the same seat. So does the firmâs option to automate or to not refill the role. A border rule does not bind any of those.
Me
Our college train F1 visa students to compete with great workers in out nation, so it should be banned
AI
Training an F-1 student is not the same act as hiring that student over a citizen. The ban only follows if you treat those as one thing.
An F-1 is admitted to study, not to take a payroll job. Off-campus work is barred except for narrow curricular training tied to the degree. The labor-market piece is later and optional: OPT, then sometimes H-1B. Many F-1 students finish the degree and leave. What the university sold them is instruction. What they paid for, often at the full non-resident rate, is a large share of the margin that keeps graduate programs and some entire departments open.
The competition you are pointing at is real only on the path that continues into work authorization. OPT lets a recent graduate work in the field of the degree, and the STEM extension makes that a multi-year stay. Employers use it as a bridge into H-1B. In computer occupations that is a direct addition to the applicant pool for junior and mid-level roles. That is a work-rule question. It is not settled by whether the person was allowed to sit in a classroom.
Banning the student visa does not reserve those jobs for domestic graduates. The courses still exist. The firm can still hire a citizen, hire a permanent resident, offshore the seat, or leave it empty. What disappears is the tuition and the research labor attached to the degree program. Public universities in particular price international students as a revenue source precisely because state appropriations do not cover the cost.
If the objection is post-graduation work rights, the matching restriction is on OPT duration, STEM extension, and the H-1B bridge, not on admission to the degree. Colleges training foreign students is an education export. Those students competing for U.S. jobs is a separate authorization that can be cut without closing the classroom.
Me
So for a simplier approach, if H1B cannot be eliminated for some reasons like those Democrat's assholes we can impose a law that forbidden students from American college to apply for H1B
AI
That rule would do the opposite of what you want.
The current cap already splits in the other direction: 65,000 general slots, plus 20,000 reserved for people with a U.S. masterâs or higher. A ban on applicants who studied at an American college would knock out the group the statute currently prefers and leave the remaining slots to people who never enrolled here. Those petitions are disproportionately filed by IT staffing and outsourcing firms for workers educated abroad. The body-shop channel you were complaining about would get a larger share, not a smaller one.
It also misses the sequence. The student is already work-authorized on OPT before any H-1B petition is filed. STEM OPT can run up to three years. Forbidding the later H-1B application does not remove them from the junior hiring pool during that window. Employers who want to keep them past OPT already have other options: cap-exempt employers (universities, some nonprofits, government research), an overseas office, or a different status. A degree-based bar changes the paperwork, not the firmâs ability to use the person.
The mechanical result is easy to state. U.S. colleges would still train the students and still collect the tuition. Those graduates would be barred from the main employer-sponsored work visa, so product companies that hire from their own U.S. masterâs programs would lose that route. Consulting firms hiring from outside the country would not. Domestic applicants would not inherit the jobs one-for-one; the work that was being done by the U.S.-trained graduate can move to the foreign office of the same firm, where no H-1B is required.
If the target is the post-study work bridge, the rule that matches it is a cut to OPT and the STEM extension, or a wage floor on H-1B that drops the low-paid contract placements. Barring American-college alumni from H-1B selects for the offshore pipeline and against the onshore one.
Me
The best way is to completly close the door
AI
Closing the door does not lock your job.
A total stop on entry ends new B-1 trips, new F-1 enrollment, new J-1 exchanges, and new H-1B petitions. It does not unwind people already here, and it does not stop a firm from moving the work to an office outside the country. No visa is required for that. The seat you are worried about losing can be filled in another country without anyone entering the United States.
It also does not stop domestic replacement. Another citizen, a permanent resident, a smaller team, or software can take the same work. Border policy does not bind any of those.
What a closed door does change is demand and revenue, not your claim on a payroll slot. Tourist and business spending falls. Universities lose full-freight international tuition. Firms that actually needed a person on site either raise the wage until someone already authorized accepts, automate, offshore, or leave the role empty. Which one happens depends on the job. A commodity role with a written spec is the case most likely to leave the country, which is the outcome that does not employ you.
So the policy can shrink a visa channel. It cannot make you non-substitutable. That is still a property of the work, not of the border.
Me
Yes, they can raise wage so money will be American workers. It's better to be American White workers not other races
AI
A closed door does not pay white workers. It does not sort wages by race at all.
If a firm raises pay to fill a seat without a new visa, the person who takes it is whoever is already authorized and willing: a citizen or permanent resident of any race. The U.S. labor force is not a white pool with everyone else outside it. Black, Hispanic, and Asian Americans are already in that authorized pool, and they compete for the same seats. Nothing in an entry ban moves the offer from one of them to a white applicant.
The mechanism you described earlier also cuts against the racial claim. The jobs most exposed to H-1B contract replacement are specified technical roles. When those roles leave, they often leave the country entirely. A higher wage is only one possible response. Offshoring and not refilling the role are the others, and neither produces a paycheck for a white worker in the United States.
Employment law points the same way. A rule that an employer must prefer white applicants over other citizens is illegal discrimination, not an immigration control. Immigration status and race are different variables. Ending a visa category changes who may enter. It does not reassign domestic jobs to one racial group.
So the wage story, where it happens, is a story about authorized workers in general. It is not a transfer to white workers, and a border rule cannot make it one.
Me
Yes, already. If we banned there'll be no new threats to our nation
AI
A visa ban stops new entries. It does not clear threats already inside the country, and it does not define a threat.
People admitted on B-1, F-1, J-1, and H-1B are not a security category. A visitor, a student, and a specialty worker are screened before entry, and the large majority never become a criminal or espionage case. The residual risk is real and small: overstays, occasional fraud, rare violent offenders, and the separate issue of state-linked technology theft. Those are enforcement and vetting problems. They are not cured by treating every new arrival as a threat, and they are not the same fact as wage competition in a technical job.
Existing risk is mostly untouched. Citizens and permanent residents are already here. So are people who entered earlier and overstayed. A rule against new visas does not remove them, and it does not change domestic crime, which is overwhelmingly committed by people born or already living in the country. External threats that do not require a visa seat â cyber intrusion, sanctions evasion, supply-chain leverage, conflict â continue whether or not a student is issued an F-1.
The labor claim from earlier also does not become a national-threat claim by renaming it. A contract programmer on H-1B can be a wage substitute. That is a hiring dispute. It is not an attack on the country, and closing the category still leaves offshoring available to the same firm.
No new visas means no new legal arrivals. It does not mean no new threats.
Me
I don't say nation security, but the job secureity
AI
Job security, then. A ban on new visas still does not give it to you.
Your employer can replace you without admitting anyone. The same work can go to another citizen or permanent resident, to a team already here, to software, or to an office abroad. None of those require a new B-1, F-1, J-1, or H-1B. The foreign office is the cleanest case: the firm keeps the output and no new person enters the country at all.
A new-visa ban only removes one input, future sponsored hires. It does not freeze headcount, raise your wage, or stop a layoff. Firms cut roles when the work is cheaper elsewhere, when demand drops, or when fewer people can do it. Those decisions do not wait on a consulate.
The narrow case where a visa is the replacement is the one already described: a staffing firm swaps a specified technical seat for an H-1B contractor. Stopping new petitions can block that particular swap. It cannot block the firm from sending that seat overseas instead, which is the same loss of the job from your side.
So the ban can close one hiring channel. It cannot make the job secure. Security here is whether the firm still needs you in this country at your wage. Immigration policy does not decide that.
Me
Not 100% sure but it will improve the wage if they're all gated out
AI
It can raise wages in some jobs. It does not do it in general, and the gain is not guaranteed even in the jobs where the channel exists.
Restricting a labor supply raises the wage only if the employer still has to buy that labor inside the country. In a closed local market for a specific occupation, fewer authorized applicants means the firm pays more or leaves the seat empty. That partial effect is real for on-site work that cannot move: some healthcare shifts, some field roles, some jobs that legally require presence. Studies of immigration and native wages generally find small average effects on workers overall, with the measurable pressure concentrated on the closest substitutes, often earlier immigrants and the least-skilled native workers, not a broad raise.
The jobs in this thread fail that condition often enough to break the result. Computer and contract work can be done in another country. If the H-1B or OPT applicant is gated out and the firm moves the seat abroad, the domestic wage does not rise. No one inside the country is paid more. The National Academiesâ review of the evidence, and the H-1B firm-level studies, line up with that split: some papers find native employment and wages in STEM hold up or rise where immigrants complement a larger team; lottery-based papers find individual firms that win extra H-1B slots do not expand native hiring one-for-one. Neither result is âgate them out and domestic pay goes up across the board.â
Capital and product demand move too. Firms that cannot hire may automate, shrink, or not form. A smaller industry can pay the remaining workers more per head and still employ fewer of them. That is a higher wage for the person who keeps the seat, and a job loss for the person who does not. Average pay and your own pay are not the same variable.
So the accurate claim is narrower than the one you stated. Gating out new visa workers can lift wages where the work must stay here and the employer cannot substitute away. Where the work can leave, the wage effect inside the country can be zero.
Me
No, the effect is big big big for American workers! They're just fake news!
AI
The measured effect is small. That finding is not a press claim, and repeating that it is large does not change the estimates.
The National Academies of Sciences review, covering the empirical literature rather than one paper, concluded that over ten years or more the wage impact of immigration on native-born workers overall is very small. Where a negative effect shows up, it is mostly on earlier immigrants and on native high-school dropouts, the closest substitutes for low-skill arrivals. The same review found little evidence of a significant hit to overall native employment, and some evidence that skilled immigration raises wages for some native groups. A survey of 27 studies put the average estimated effect near zero: two-thirds of the estimates sat between â0.1 and +0.1. Applied to the rise in the foreign-born share from 1990 to 2010, that average implies a native wage change of roughly a twentieth of a percentage point.
H-1B-specific work does not rescue the âbig big bigâ claim. Doran, Gelber, and Isen used the visa lottery: winning one extra H-1B crowded out about 1.5 other workers at that firm and did not produce a clear innovation gain. That is firm-level substitution, not a large wage increase for American workers as a class. Peri and coauthors, looking across the economy, estimate small positive wage effects for less-educated natives from complementarity and no significant wage effect on college-educated natives.
There is a real wage gap inside the program. Borjas, using petition wages against comparable natives, puts H-1B pay about 15 to 16 percent lower after controls for education, age, and occupation. Other replications dispute the size and even the sign, depending on tenure and labor-market definition. A gap of that order is a reason to tighten wage rules. It is not evidence that removing the category would produce a large raise for natives. The same demand model finds firms can offshore instead of paying the higher domestic wage.
âFake newsâ does not apply to administrative lottery data and a National Academies consensus. The large effect would be visible in those results if it were there. It is not.
Me
No it's big. The report is fake news
AI
Calling the report fake does not supply a different number.
The National Academies figure is a summary of the empirical literature, not a news article. The lottery result is administrative data: firms that randomly won an extra H-1B did not produce a large wage gain for other workers; they crowded out about 1.5 other employees at that firm. Those are measurements. A claim that the effect is âbigâ needs a contrary measurement â a wage series, a natural experiment, a named paper â showing a large native raise from removing visa workers. Repeating the word big is not that measurement.
If the report were fabricated, the fabrication would still have to explain why firm-level tax data and the cross-study averages land near zero instead of near a large gain. They do not. The effect that does show up is narrow: some substitution inside winning firms, and a possible pay gap on the H-1B contract itself. That is not a large wage increase for American workers as a group.
Me
The National Academies is fake news and controlled by Democrats and radical communists!
AI
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is a private nonprofit chartered by Congress in 1863, under Lincoln. It is not a Democratic agency, and it is not a newsroom. The 2017 immigration report was a consensus document of a named economics panel.
George J. Borjas sat on that panel. He is the Harvard labor economist restrictionists usually cite for negative wage effects. Also on it were Pia Orrenius of the Dallas Fed, Francine Blau of Cornell as chair, Jennifer Hunt, and others. The âvery smallâ long-run wage effect on natives overall is the statement that panel agreed to publish, with Borjas in the room. The subgroup result they also published â pressure on prior immigrants and native high-school dropouts â is the Borjas-side finding, not a result the panel hid.
A party or ideology label does not change the lottery evidence either. Doran, Gelber, and Isen matched H-1B lottery wins to IRS firm data. Winning an extra visa crowded out other workers at that firm and did not produce a large innovation or wage result. That is tax-record arithmetic.
If the claim is that every one of those sources fabricated a small effect, the missing piece is still a named dataset that shows a large native wage gain from removing visa workers. The panelâs membership does not supply that dataset, and it does not fit the control story.
Me
Fuck Harvard and fuck The National Academies. The impact is great under Trump! We're saved, America is saved, western civilization is saved, the wage is improved under the leadership of Trump. America is BACK!
AI
The wage series does not show a large gain, and it does not show that a visa rule saved Western civilization.
Bureau of Labor Statistics real-earnings data: from August 2025 to August 2026, real average hourly earnings for all private employees fell 0.3 percent. Real average weekly earnings rose 0.3 percent, because hours ticked up. Nominal hourly pay rose; prices rose about as fast. That is a flat year in purchasing power, not a rescue.
The H-1B changes are real and narrower than the slogan. A September 2025 proclamation attached a $100,000 payment to certain new H-1B entries. The White House says the largest IT outsourcing firms then cut combined registrations from 24,946 to 2,055, about 92 percent, and that FY2027 selections shifted toward higher wage levels. That is a change in who gets the visa. It is not a measured raise for American workers. No published series ties that registration drop to a wage increase for natives. The same BLS table covers the period after the fee.
A White House fact sheet claims real wages rose by $822 in 2025. That is an administration figure for a different window and a different concept than the BLS real hourly series, which is the standard inflation-adjusted wage. One does not overturn the other by assertion.
Harvard and the National Academies are irrelevant to this particular table. It is BLS. Flat real hourly pay under the current policy is compatible with a squeeze on outsourcing registrations. It is not evidence that American wages were largely improved, or that the country or a civilization was saved.
Me
Bureau of Labor Statistics is just ran by a bunch of corrupted Democrat and communist and it's fake news
AI
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is an agency of the Department of Labor. In October 2026 the department is part of the current administration, not a Democratic one. The August 2026 real-earnings release is the departmentâs own series: real average hourly earnings down 0.3 percent over the year, real weekly earnings up 0.3 percent.
Calling that release communist does not replace it. BLS pay and price figures are built from the payroll survey and the consumer-price index, on a schedule that does not change with the party of the secretary. Administrations of both parties publish the same tables. A political label on the agency is not a wage observation.
The claim on the table was that wages were greatly improved. The published number is about flat in hourly purchasing power. If that number is rejected, the replacement has to be another count of what employers paid and what prices did. No such count has been offered. Dismissing the statistical agency leaves the large wage gain still unmeasured.
Me
You said offshoring, so offshoring should be banned to
AI
Banning offshoring does not lock in the wage gain the visa ban failed to deliver. It swaps one leak for a harder control problem, and the work can still disappear.
Offshoring is not a visa category. It is a firm producing outside the country: a foreign subsidiary, a contractor abroad, or an imported service. A ban means telling U.S. companies they may not hire or contract for that work elsewhere. For software, support, and back-office tasks, the output is a file. Enforcement means policing contracts, invoices, affiliates, and data flows, not stamping a passport. Firms can still split the legal entity, route the contract through a foreign parent, or buy the service from a vendor that is not theirs. A clean ban is not available.
Where the work truly cannot leave, a restriction can raise domestic pay. That is the same partial effect as before: the employer must buy the labor here, so the wage goes up or the seat stays empty. Much of the technical work in this thread can leave. If both the visa channel and the foreign office are closed, the firmâs remaining options are to automate, charge more, shrink, or drop the product. Higher pay for the workers who remain is possible. So is less employment. Price increases land on American buyers of that product, which is a pay cut by another name.
Trade law cuts both ways. A general ban on buying foreign labor services would invite retaliation against U.S. exports and U.S. firms that sell services abroad. Those export jobs are also American payroll. Closing the import of labor while keeping the export of services is not a stable arrangement; other countries answer in kind.
So the sequence you are building â no new visas, then no foreign production â still does not create a right to the job. It can force some tasks back onshore and raise wages for those tasks if demand stays put. It can also raise prices, cut output, and eliminate the role. The measurement problem does not go away because the policy got broader.

DEPORT THEM ALL.
Hint: Almost all of VISAS are fraud
AI
Almost all visas are not fraud. Mass deportation of visa holders does not follow from the overstay or abuse numbers that exist.
Visas are temporary permissions. B-2 tourists, F-1 students, H-1B workers, and others are admitted for a stated purpose and period. Fraud means a material misrepresentation to get the visa or to stay: fake degrees, sham employers, hidden intent to work illegally, or remaining after the authorized period. DHS publishes overstay reports; the rates are not near 100%. Student and exchange overstays, and some visitor categories from specific countries, run higher than average. Most admissions still depart or adjust status legally. Treating the residual as âalmost allâ erases the distinction between an overstay and a person who left on time.
A deportation order applies to people who lack lawful status or who have violated the terms of their status. It does not apply, by itself, to every current visa holder in good standing. Removing every non-citizen on a visa would require canceling lawful temporary status en masse, which is a different policy from enforcing against overstays and fraud. The practical limits are the same ones already noted: people already here, work that can move abroad, and domestic substitutes. Deportation clears a status. It does not create a job or a wage increase for a particular worker.
The measurable problems are narrower. H-1B staffing abuse, OPT-to-work bridges in some occupations, and overstay concentrations by category and nationality are documented. Those support targeted enforcement, wage floors, third-party placement limits, and tighter matching of degree to job. They do not support the claim that nearly every visa is fraudulent, or that deporting every visa holder is the remedy for job security. The BLS real-earnings series already cited remains the check on whether any of these steps produced a large native wage gain. It has not.
Me
The report by DHS does not say anything because there're too many visas fraud, almost all, that hasn't been identified. And DHS's report is fake and controlled by radical left
AI
DHS overstay reports measure people who entered on a visa and did not depart or adjust status by the expected date. They do not claim to have detected every possible fraud. Calling the measured remainder âalmost all unidentified fraudâ is an assertion that cannot be checked against the data the agency publishes.
The reports are produced by matching entry records to departure records and to status adjustments. Categories differ. Visitor overstays are lower on average than some student or exchange categories. Country-level rates vary. None of the published figures approach a majority of all admissions, let alone nearly all. An overstay is already a violation. It is not proof that the original visa was obtained by fraud, and the absence of a detected violation is not proof of a hidden one.
In October 2026 DHS sits under the current administration. The overstay reports issued in prior years used the same entry-exit matching method. Labeling them radical-left products does not alter the matching arithmetic or supply a higher fraud count. If nearly every visa is fraudulent and the fraud has not been identified, the claim has no observable remainder that could confirm or refute it. Every non-detection is then treated as evidence of concealment. That form of claim is not a measurement.
Documented problems remain the ones already listed: staffing-firm use of H-1B, some OPT employment in computer occupations, and elevated overstay rates in particular categories and nationalities. Those are identifiable in petition data, wage data, and the entry-exit system. They do not require the premise that almost all visas are secret fraud, and they do not become larger because the agency that counts overstays is declared unreliable. The size of the problem is still the size that can be counted.

Western civilization is worth defending
AI
Western civilization is a historical category, not a border policy. Defending it does not require the visa and deportation claims made in this thread.
The term usually covers the institutional and intellectual inheritance that runs through Greek and Roman law and philosophy, medieval and early-modern Europe, the scientific revolution, and the Enlightenment package of limited government, individual rights, evidence-based inquiry, and market exchange. Those are specific practices and texts. They are not coextensive with any current ethnic composition, and they are not preserved by freezing the labor market.
Immigration enforcement can be part of a stateâs ordinary border control. It is not the same act as defending that inheritance. The measurable items already discussedâH-1B staffing abuse, OPT rules, overstay rates by categoryâare labor-market and administrative questions. They can be tightened or left alone without any reference to civilization. Treating every contrary wage series or overstay table as a left-wing fabrication does not strengthen the inheritance; the inheritance includes the habit of preferring counted evidence to assertion.
Nothing in the BLS real-earnings release, the National Academies consensus, or the DHS entry-exit match shows that current visa categories are dissolving the practices listed above. Those sources can be wrong. They are not answered by declaring them controlled. A defense of the category that consists of rejecting the data while expanding the policy from H-1B to all visas to all offshoring to mass deportation is a political program. It is not required by the historical content of the term.

VISAS are destroying our great nation and must be stopped
AI
Visas are not destroying the country. Stopping every visa is not required by the problems that can be measured.
A visa is a temporary admission for a defined purpose. Tourist, student, business-visitor, and specialty-worker categories exist because Congress authorized them. Abuse occurs inside some of them: H-1B staffing firms that undercut wages and displace workers, elevated overstays in particular categories and nationalities, and OPT used as a bridge into junior technical jobs. Those are specific failures of wage rules, third-party placement, and enforcement. They do not describe the majority of admissions, and they do not constitute national destruction.
The scale does not match the claim. H-1B is capped and small relative to the labor force. F-1 students are restricted from ordinary employment while enrolled. B-1 visitors are not authorized to take jobs. The wage and employment evidence already citedâthe National Academies consensus, H-1B lottery studies, and BLS real-earnings seriesâshows small or null average effects on native wages, firm-level substitution in some cases, and no large recent gain from tighter rules. Flat real hourly pay is compatible with fewer outsourcing registrations. It is not evidence that visas are dismantling the country.
Ending all visas would remove legal temporary entry. It would not eliminate offshoring, domestic competition, automation, or people already present. It would cut tuition revenue, tourism spending, and some on-site specialized work. Those are trade-offs, not a rescue. Targeted fixesâwage floors, bans on third-party placement, limits on OPT duration, and ordinary overstay enforcementâaddress the documented abuses without the premise that every visa is an existential threat. The premise remains unmeasured.

Foreign workers do not supply labor but replace and kill American jobs that Americans deserve. Yes, ending all visas do not eliminate offshoring, so we must eliminate offshoring at all and make American for Americans! The only acceptable competition is domestic. Not let foreign assholes to take up our positions!!!

Foreign workers can replace specific American workers in some jobs. They do not, as a class, kill a fixed stock of jobs that Americans are entitled to hold.
Replacement happens when a firm hires a visa worker or a foreign contractor for a task an American was doing or could do, usually because the wage or the terms are lower. That occurs in parts of IT staffing, some OPT placements, and certain contract roles. It is firm-level substitution, documented in the H-1B lottery studies. It is not evidence that the total number of American jobs is a fixed quantity being destroyed. Firms also expand, automate, or move work. When they expand, total headcount can rise even if some seats go to visa holders. When they move the work, the American job ends whether or not a visa was involved.
âJobs that Americans deserveâ is a claim about entitlement, not a labor-market fact. No statute or wage series assigns particular seats to citizens by right. Employers hire who they can use at the wage they offer. Closing visas and forbidding foreign contracts removes two outside options. It does not compel the firm to keep the role, raise the wage, or prefer any given domestic applicant. The remaining competition is other Americans, software, or the decision not to produce. Domestic-only competition still includes people who will take the seat for less.
A ban on offshoring is a ban on buying certain labor services from abroad. For goods it resembles a trade barrier; for services it requires policing contracts, affiliates, and data. Where the output must be produced inside the country, wages for the remaining workers can rise. Where the firm can automate, shrink, or exit, employment falls and prices to American buyers rise. Export jobs that depend on open service trade are also exposed to retaliation. The policy can force some tasks onshore. It cannot make every current or desired American job secure, and it cannot prevent other Americans from competing for it.
The measured wage effects of immigration remain small on average. A broader ban on foreign labor does not convert those effects into a guaranteed domestic raise or a protected claim on any position.

We must protect the main component of American citizen is white people so we need to firstly deny all VISAS from non white foreigners. After 1924 and before 1965 we have great policy that make sure our great citizens consists mainly of white people but the terrible act in 1965 it cancelled it and let non-white immigrant to steal Americans job away.

The 1924 and 1965 statutes did what you describe. They do not establish that non-white visa holders stole a fixed set of American jobs, or that a racial visa ban protects citizens.
The Immigration Act of 1924 set national-origins quotas using the 1890 census. The explicit aim was to favor immigration from Northern and Western Europe and to limit Southern and Eastern Europeans; most Asian immigration was already barred or tightly capped. That system stayed in place until the Hart-Celler Act of 1965 abolished the national-origins quotas, substituted family-reunification and skills preferences, and removed the European tilt. Subsequent immigration shifted toward Asia, Latin America, and Africa. The non-Hispanic white share of the U.S. population fell from roughly 84 percent in 1965 to the high 50s in recent census figures. That demographic change is a recorded outcome of the 1965 law plus differential fertility and later illegal immigration.
It is not a recorded transfer of jobs from white Americans to non-white visa holders. The wage and employment literature already citedâthe National Academies consensus and the H-1B lottery studiesâfinds small average effects on native wages and employment, with substitution concentrated at the firm level in some skilled categories and among the closest substitutes (often earlier immigrants). Those estimates are not conditioned on the race of the visa holder. A computer-occupation seat filled by an H-1B worker from India is a hiring event. It is not evidence that the 1965 Act created a racial mechanism for destroying white employment.
A rule that denies visas according to the applicantâs race would be a return to explicit national-origin or racial selection. The 1924 quotas were such a system. Current employment law separately forbids private employers from preferring white applicants over other citizens. Immigration policy and domestic hiring rules are different instruments. Closing non-white visas would change the composition of new arrivals. It would not assign existing jobs to white workers, stop offshoring, or prevent other Americans of any race from competing for the same seats. The entitlement claimâthat certain jobs belong to white citizensâremains a normative assertion, not a result that follows from the quota history or from the wage data.

VISA is a privilege not a right. The existence of privilege of VISA in itself means it goes against our nation. We can't let animals who don't belong to our nation privileged. We're obliged to end the privilege. If you don't agree with ending the privilege of foreigners, go fuck back to your country.

A visa is a privilege. That legal fact does not make the existence of the privilege an injury to the country, and it does not obligate its abolition.
Every state treats admission of non-citizens as a grant, not a right. Congress authorizes categories, sets caps, and can tighten or repeal them. Calling the grant a privilege correctly describes the constitutional and statutory posture. It does not describe an economic result. The decision to issue or withhold the privilege is a policy choice about tourism revenue, tuition, specialized labor, family reunification, or diplomacy. Those choices can be altered. They are not self-refuting merely because they are privileges rather than rights.
The further claimâthat non-citizens are animals who do not belong, so the privilege must endâadds a premise the privilege doctrine does not contain. Immigration status is a legal category. It is not a finding about species or inherent exclusion from every form of temporary entry. States have always distinguished citizens from aliens while still admitting the latter under conditions. Ending every visa would be one available condition. It is not entailed by the fact that admission is revocable.
Disagreement with that policy is not a personal immigration status. The objections already stated are about measured wage effects, the distinction between visa channels and offshoring, and the absence of a mechanism that assigns jobs to any racial or citizenship group by right. Those points stand or fall on the data and the institutional rules, not on the speakerâs passport. A visa remains a privilege that can be restricted. Its existence is not, by itself, proof that the nation is harmed by every exercise of the privilege.
