carvantes··on My Experience at Apple
Thats the thing, most of us immigrant does not come from well-off countries. We couldn't just book a ticket and get visa to work in , say Canada or Japan. Our passport power is shit. All things considered US is still the most welcoming for most of us who want to improve our life. Where I come from, I can got thrown into jail if they found my religious non-affiliation, combined with my racial identity. Not sure for other immigrants, but for me, companies literally have execution power over my trajectory of my life.

I don't understand the allure of FAANG for residents besides the money. The thing is, for us H1B workers, we have very limited options. And these big companies have the best track record in processing GC for us. Unless these regulations got changed, and give smaller companies more chances. Given how powerful big companies are, I probably wouldn't be surprised if they also lobbied regulations against small companies hiring immigrants.
