Up to $14.25 million in fines and restitution for defrauding the H-1B program and screwing over US citizens. Facebook won't even blink an eye at that amount. How about barring them from the H-1B program for 5 years? I think that would be a great start.
I actually dont think its the corporation doing this, its just their ranks are filled with mostly H1Bs, who want to hire other H1Bs from their home countries. This practice is absolutely rampant in tech companies. Orgs and departments commonly organize along racial and country of origin lines. I see this at some of the most well known tech companies. Yet I never hear a word spoken of it
Your continued life in a country shouldn't depend on a private company.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
If they actually had a case against Facebook and Facebook had caused actual harm the amount would be much higher.
Facebook "refused to recruit, consider, or hire qualified and available U.S. workers for over 2,600 positions."
They argued that a company should not be able to do that if they can hire a minimally qualified US candidate, AKA someone who checks the job requirements.

You're essentially saying the practice of using referrals in hiring should be ended.

I knew of a professor with a work visa who spoke out against a University policy of oversizing certain classes. They revoked or did not renew his visa (or however the termination of an employer-sponsored visa works), and mid-semester he had a nervous breakdown, was forced to short sell his house, and was forced to go back to his home country.
I am supportive of visas for highly skilled workers and immigration in general. However I see many H1-Bs being hired that are frankly overqualified for the work they are end up doing (especially stuff like exploratory QA or entry level operations tasks). I'm not sure we need to import people to do this work. I think the tech industry in the US should be looking at American non-college graduates to do this kind of wor…
I'm not sure it's a good idea to take someone's family history into account when determining whether or not they're qualified to do a certain job. Why should the fact that someone's grandfather went to college hurt them in getting one of these jobs for "people from families without a history of college degrees"? Even if you think this is good for purposes of equity or whatever, how far back do you go? My maternal gra…
