Yes, Its sad to see the reactionary hate triggered by a misleading article.

The number from 2025 is not really relevant when the layoffs were in March 2026. The article author clearly has a narrative they want to push.

And of the 436 petitions in 2026, only 235 are new hires (remaining are continuing approvals). Hardly a scandal there. Especially if they're likely hiring AI engineers and laying off call center employees - its not like their laying off an american citizen to hire a cheap H1B employee as this article is angling to have the reader believe.
