Tech workers ask their bosses to pressure Trump over ICE crackdowns

I think people would be more sympathetic to this if the tech job market wasn’t completely frozen as it is now. Hard to make the case for more immigration when so many American CS grads are struggling with unemployment. E.g. I think they should ask their CEOs to hire more people before asking for more immigration.
freejazz•1h ago
The letter does not appear to ask for "more immigration"
OGEnthusiast•1h ago
If you are calling for an indefinite pause on immigration enforcement, the optics of that are de-facto pro-immigration, e.g. who is going to enforce worker visas overstays if not ICE?
lazyasciiart•1h ago
At tech companies? The company lawyers and HR, just like today. They are asking for a pause on immigration raids.
OGEnthusiast•1h ago
From what I’ve seen, tech companies are very lax about visa overstays. I’ve never heard of a tech company that actually enforces visa overstays or violations. (Why would they?)
viraptor•1h ago
INS (or its new parts) like before ICE was created in 2003? Otherwise the standard rules around hiring that apply across the country.
legitster•58m ago
This is kind of a silly argument as any sort of action on H1b visas has been perennially stalled, and ICE "enforcement" actions are specifically targeting the underprivileged or low skill labor.
OGEnthusiast•55m ago
Sure, just saying the optics of this is unlikely to garner much sympathy from the public. They should instead ask their bosses to cut down on H1B hiring then instead of ICE raids if ICE has nothing to do with tech.
legitster•44m ago
My H1B teammates are awesome. I would rather keep them here in the States, thank you very much.

Perhaps our current administration could maybe reverse their policy course that has making us shed all of our international customers and making our domestic customers have to tighten their belts?

weirdmantis69•28m ago
I thought they fired most of these people. I guess more cuts incoming.
burnt-resistor•5m ago
ICE needs to be shrank down to 2003 levels.

And no selective protections. Not like how meat and dairy processors were corruptly shielded from immigration raids and tacitly allowed to break the law unlike everyone else.

The corruption, lawlessness, and brutality of the paramilitary kidnapping gestapo has to end.

chung8123•3m ago
It is the tech workers that have enabled all of this. Tesla, Meta, Google, X, don't run on their own. They need people that have decided to turn a blind eye to what they are enabling with their work.
