Why do you post the same lies in every H1B related thread?

As I corrected your lies in that thread, I'll correct them here as well.

H-1B visas had nothing to do with Silicon Valley. The H-1B visa was created in 1990. Silicon Valley had already existed for decades by then. How can H-1B visas be the reason that Silicon Valley exists if Silicon Valley predates H-1B visas by decades?

You do realize that H-1B visas aren't confined solely to Silicon Valley right? Zuckerburg could have gotten H-1B visas workers to work in Massachussettes. There are plenty of interviews by zuckerburg stating why he moved to california. It had nothing to do with H-1B visas.

And H-1B visas doesn't prevent zuckerburg from opening offices all over the world.

Canada is a country, not a small region like silicon valley. And if canada becomes the new silicon valley, good for them. Please stop repeating the same lies over and over again.

>H-1B visas had nothing to do with Silicon Valley.

Nonsense. I am guessing you have never been silicon valley. 90% or more of tech workers there were born outside USA.

Edit: it is 70%, which is still very high. https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/01/17/h-1b-foreign-citizens...

I have and even more, I know people who work in silicon valley. Have you been there?

Ignoring the fact that "90% of tech workers there were born outside the USA" is absolutely false, what does that have to do with H-1B visas?

It could be true that 90% of tech workers were born outside the USA and none of them could be H-1B visa holders. There are plenty of american tech workers who immigrated to the US as a child and became american citizens. Like sergei brin or jerry yang. They may be born outside the US, but none of them are H-1B visa holders. They were all american citizens.

The fact that you are intentionally lying and being sneaky with stats is very worrisome.

Well that's just flat out not true (the percentage is high, but not 90%), and you've completely ignored the meat of the criticism above.

You're right, turns out it is about 70% https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/01/17/h-1b-foreign-citizens...

What exactly is the meat of the criticism above?

Born outside the U.S. ⊇ H1B migrant workers. The majority of those born outside the U.S. are immigrants.
