Don’t let the Airplane door hit them in the buttocks on their way out of the country.

[Mr. Rabbit]

Good. Put them on a plane back to India. American jobs for Americans.

[Jane Long]

Well, bye!

While pre-virus unemployment numbers were very good, the participation rate was still low.

Until that number comes back up, we should be reducing or suspending H1B, H2B, and whatever other work visa programs we have. We need to hire Americans.

[albie]

Best news I’ve had all day

[onemiddleamerican]

Well, it’s a good start.

Hire American.

[jmacusa]

Kick them out and lets go back to pre-1965 levels. 300,000 a year.

[oldvirginian]

200,000 is a start.
Ship all their butts back. Tell’em the gravy train is derailed for good.

[E Pluribus Bellum]

Gee, that’s a real shame.

[dljordan]

They’ll still be able to vote in our elections.

[Shadow44]

GOOD! GET THE FU*K OUT... go back to Pakistan/India/china and don’t come back.

Some are choosing to furlough U.S.-born workers and fire foreign employees whose visas require them to be paid. Others are choosing to keep H-1B workers on staff to maintain their legal status, while firing U.S. workers.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

When in doubt, ship ‘em out!
