Your thoughts on the turmoil regarding Elon Musk and Trump's stances on H1B-visas?
In case you've been living under a rock, Elon Musk and Trump have publicly advocated for the increase in H1B-visas due to a shortage of native/local engineering talent in the United States. In response, several Americans on Twitter/X have backfired against Elon Musk's stance, some common justifications being that "USA has a whopping large population of 330 million", "You just want to hire cheap workers", "Most engineering degrees go to international students", "Public education in USA sucks at teaching engineering" Now, you must be asking, "What does this have to do with us? How much of those H1B-visas are held by Indians?", Well...
Here comes the \"pajeet\" jokes 😒
Those who found this out, either resorted to lame-@$$ jokes on us, or stated that "cheap/low-class workers are being exploited" or asked why "Indians are mostly being hired when their IQ is not as high as Japanese, Koreans, or Australians".
Also, Twitter's been having a stupid meltdown with Americans and Indians making jokes on each other's IQ, shows how much of an anti-intellectual place the website is to begin with.
Now, here's some data I found regarding the top enrolled disciplines in US universities at undergraduate level:
What's your thoughts, based on all that I've just said? Do you think there is truth to the statement that we're just being exploited (made to work long hours with low wages), and we can't escape? Do you agree that there is a shortage of STEM talent in the States (I know this is pretty tough to answer, but still).
