I hate reading these posts, however its like a bad car accident, you can help but look.

There is a woman living in my apartment complex from a 3rd world country working as a software developer in the city that I live. We run into each other at the mailbox drop for the apartment residences.

She is here on H1-B visa which will run out soon. That company she works for has lied to her about everything: getting a raise, getting a bonus and sponsoring her green card.

She finally figured out that they are stringing her along, she will soon have to return to her homeland and the company she works for will repeat the cycle again with another person.


And on an other note, the Shakeup between Trump and Khan exposed that there are law firms who specialize in EB5 visas, where if you have enough money, you can buy citizenship.

I, too, am against 'civil rights violations' when it helps me drum up outrage to my cause.
