| 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. |

| At two different US companies I had to attend training led by a lawyer on how to file H1b and L1 applications, how to write recruitment ads and coaching visa applicants for their interviews. Both training programmes were surprisingly similar, even two years apart. No notes were allowed. No slides. Even the call for attendance was verbal and in person. This is a US corporation problem, not the US government’s. |

| ▲ | throwaway5752 a day ago | parent [-] | | That should not be the case, and your saying this is an indication of how far America has fallen. You can just look at the Afghanistan withdrawal. That was executed by the 2020-2024 administration to complete an agreement signed by the 2016-2020 administration. It was unpopular and a bad outcome, but the 2020-2024 administration realized a country had to keep its word, even with the Taliban. If the word of America is not honored that is exactly the disgrace I'm talking about. A nation's word - the treaties they sign, the contracts or agreements they make with people of other countries - has to be honored. Like the conditions of visas. An administration can change future agreements or renegotiate within the frameworks it agreed to, but it should honor existing agreements. That is one of the many ways a government is not like a corporation. | | |
| ▲ | toomuchtodo a day ago | parent [-] | | I agree there is merit to this reasoning around trust and promises between nations, but I don’t believe it applies in this case, which was a wink and a nudge around using “legal” immigration and visa policy to suppress wages and disempower domestic workers, to the benefit of imported labor and capital. Bad faith agreements warrant no continuity or protection, but people should still always be treated humanely when the rules change. |

| ▲ | compiler-guy 2 days ago | parent [-] | | 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? | | |
| ▲ | orochimaaru 2 days ago | parent [-] | | I'm not sure. The media is pointing out specific cases but the question is what % of travelers on visa made it in/out without trouble. There is heightened focus on enforcement. They may have trained their software to have a lower threshold of social media posts for entry. So, I do believe that you're at risk if you've made controversial statements not in line with what US considers as friendly behavior. | | |

| ▲ | lazyasciiart 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Or if you have a criminal conviction of any kind that is many years old and was known on the application that got you the visa, like the German and Filipina residents. So the rules have changed - they are now saying that visas valid at the time of approval should never have been approved based on the circumstances at the time. | | |
| ▲ | jimmydoe a day ago | parent [-] | | Rules change every other day to keep deporting immigrants in the news, so American public believe trump is delivering his campaign promises which is against immigration. Whats funny here is deporting a legal German is much easier and 100x louder in the news than deporting “illegals”, that’s why in the end he’s deporting less in total than late stage Biden admin https://www.axios.com/2025/04/01/immigrant-removals-deportat... |
