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.

jameskilton•2mo ago
You've already thought about this more than anyone in the administration has.

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

coredog64•2mo ago
> 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

yalogin•2mo ago
Just looking and vetting for sycophantic behavior towards the administration, and then more avenue a to limit h1b issuance.

Think of the poor billionaires :(

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

sporkxrocket•2mo ago
> 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.

nielsbot•2mo ago
I don’t think it’s just about Israel but I’m sure that’s part of it.
Daishiman•2mo ago
We know it's just about Israel because prior to the Gaza genocide these things were not getting checked.
roboror•2mo ago
Other things happened since then too

I guess US society is too weak to withstand those who might have critiques of it.
