Regardless of your opinions of guest worker visas, they are here voluntarily on legal visas. The immigration lawyers at these companies are advising them they may not be allowed to reenter, for no cause.
It is a disgrace to the honor of America.

It's not "don't leave", but "don't put yourself in a situation there you have to reenter". It's in neither party's interest to be in that situation.

No one is claiming that everyone is on a legal visa or that companies don’t break the law.
The argument is that reentry, even if you are legal right now, might be denied for reasons which wouldn’t have gotten you even a sideways look six months ago. Which surely you don’t disagree?

#10I'm super interested to see what the next HN thread with that proberts lawyer dude is like.
I found the commentary in the last post from him to be pretty meagre, whether it was because people were afraid to talk about this kind of stuff or they just didn't know, I'm not sure, but it seems like reality is quickly setting in for a lot of people in the US.
Things are changing and they're changing fast.
You won't be able to ignore this forever.
