   Not looking forward to the next few years of people who know absolutely nothing about H-1B on all sides of the political spectrum spouting nonsense about it

     @skinnylatte My take is simple. Open borders. No slavery or indentured servitude for any reason.

     @dalias I agree, with caveats

     @skinnylatte I think we're on the same page. I mean US (and other "passport privilege") borders should be fully open, even moreso than other borders were to folks with passport privilege, to absolutely everyone, without any document requirements.

     @dalias I agree on principle, but we are at the ‘some liberals think they should call ICE on H1B immigrants because Elon likes H1B’ stage of politics

     @skinnylatte Main exception that probably has to be worked out is areas being subjected to intentional population transfer as colonization & genocide. But the root cause there isn't really the border...

     @skinnylatte Yes that's just 🤮 🤡 💩 but it's going to harm ppl.

     I was trying to say I'm not going to participate in that discourse but instead seek to move the Overton window.

     @skinnylatte And FWIW "call ICE" is unconditionally wrong/evil regardless of what a person did. Arguably there are some situations where you have to call normal police despite ACAB, but there is never a justification to call ICE.

     @foolishowl @skinnylatte That's generous. What I'd say probably violates instance rules so I'll refrain.

     @dalias @skinnylatte If I'm ever asked "How to solve the crisis at the border", I'd say, "Step one: give members of ICE and the Border Patrol 24 hours to resign".
