Curious how the tech lobby will react. You would hope Musk and Huang might take their own personal experience into account.

The tech industry and general business lobby is extremely pro H1b/immigration. They're probably the only thing holding back a total ban on h1b immigration right now.

In some ways that industry is losing a tool. Sponsoring a green card used to be the prize they dangle in front of the h1b to keep their nose to the grindstone.

Absolutely. I don't think they will be happy.

So many great students will be off the market. This will affect to the whole tech space. No way they will be happy with this decision.

Not from the US, but is a green card actually necessary to work there after studying? afaik student visa is different from green card right?

Most countries, you get a visa of some kind but you have no way to permanent residency at all unless you marry but you can keep staying there somewhat permanently.

[arccy]

most countries actually let you apply for permanent residency once you've hit a set number of years, usually around 5 or 10, on work visas

You think either of them care about other human beings? They have continuously demonstrated they only care about themselves.

Musk has no problem "pulling the ladder behind him", and Huang's only duty is to shareholders - which means kissing Trump's ring to avoid retaliation.

Americans voted for this.
