I know the current administration isn’t exactly known for well-thought out decisions. But I do wonder what metric they’d hope to influence with this.

More safety? Probably not.

Less immigration? Probably - but limiting H1B is likely bad for the US. And there’s been many recent decisions that deter people further.

You've already thought about this more than anyone in the administration has.

This is about keeping the non-whites out of America.

> but limiting H1B is likely bad for the US

Assumes facts not in evidence.

It's clear at this point that there are massive abuses in the H-1B program, and remedying those abuses will absolutely mean limiting the H-1B. And that's before we even start to review the program vs. unemployment rates for native American STEM graduates.

>massive abuses in the H-1B program

What does making social media profile public have to do with reducing abuse ?

By this logic there’s lot of abuse in businesses, let’s require every executives social media public. There’s lots of abuses in government … etc

Just looking and vetting for sycophantic behavior towards the administration, and then more avenue a to limit h1b issuance.

This is rich seeing how JD Vance excused the Young Republicans leaked chats among other things

> Support for unlawful antisemitic violence or harassment

Yet another example of the US being controlled by Zionist interests. They’ve already expanded the definition of “antisemitism” to include saying Israel has no right to exist.

This is ostensively positioned at keeping out foreign influence but the irony is it is 100% foreign influence.
