Getting deported OR settling for first acceptance jobs within 60 days. OR going to Canada that has opportunistically opened their doors. OR going back home.
I’m sorry it’s like that here in the US. We should be all about immigration like we were back when.
Obviously, the American voters don't want lots of immigration any more. They said so quite clearly when they voted for Trump. Even well before that, America's immigration system (namely the H1-B) was highly exploitative. Prospective immigrants should think a lot about why they want to go so badly to a country that clearly doesn't want them, and look for countries that treat immigrants better.
