    They fire h1b folks too. I remember in 2014 when they fired several thousand people one guy from I dis was a new dad and suddenly he had no job and a deadline to find a new job that would “sponsor” him or else he and his family had to return to India. It was like 90 days or something. I still think about him sometimes and hope he’s ok.

      A particularly fucked up part is that the 90 days wasnt official but just in allowed as a grace period if someone loses their job, and USCIS was told to exercise discretion. That’s gone completely out the window and those fellas can now be targeted for following promises made earlier.
