"I just want immigrants to be LEGAL!"
My wife was married to an American for over 2 years and lived in America the whole time. That makes her 10-year visa renewal a rubber stamp. NOPE. Now that we're married, the government is non-stop fucking with her to make sure it's not a false marriage.
Added her to my bank account and almost all the utilities. NOPE. Not good enough. She yelled at me for tossing mailed bills that I pay online. Now she gets the mail. And those pieces of paper have to be mailed off for approval. 6-months later, "Yeah, we're gonna need more proof." Next I'm sending them a pic of me railing her in a sundress in front of the house, address plainly visible, with a fucking geotag. "Enough?"

Wtf is a “pre-seed founder”?
I’m stalwart enough in my leftism that anything that corpos love makes me question it immediately. I’ve nothing inherent against immigrants/refugees who come here through the (very flawed) process or even those who don’t but come here, integrate, and then contribute/participate positively within the communities they immigrate to.
However, the H1B shit just seems to a) exploit minorities/immigrants while holding their visa over their head (dems shouldn’t like this based on their principles) while b) outsources jobs that could likely be given to existing, qualified citizens (republicans shouldn’t this based on their principles), c) all to ultimately benefit a corporation’s quarterly earnings.
I dislike Trump as much as the next guy but I don’t currently have an issue with him obliterating the H1B program.

it's before you nut money

In startup land there are various named rounds of funding:
- Pre-seed
- Seed
- Series A
- Series B
- etc...
Pre-seed means you don't really have any investors and don't have an equity system set up. You're just somehow supporting yourself while trying to get your initial idea/demo/deck together.
Seed means that an investor (typically called angels) has given you enough money to live on while you develop things to the point that you're presenting to actual VCs.

Like a few other things, it could have been good if done intelligently.
100k is the right line for tech. But we always need medical.
They're just going to exempt big tech anyway. And people who are here completely legitimately shouldn't have to worry, but they do.

If you switch companies, still in the US, you are going to need a new H1B so...

My dumb ass thought this was about the lube marketed to couples trying to have kids

Capital (money) investor. More like donation. That's what I make of it -- someone can correct me.
-
It sounds like a founder before they got a first seed round of investment, which usually leads to those first seed investors labelling themselves as “founders” too, so trying to differentiate with like “(co)-founded the business before we had external capital, e.g. did actual work instead of buying my way in.”
That being said though, generally in my experience the more someone talks about being a “founder” the less they actually did beyond secure funding and blabber on about “vision” and “product” while others did the real work.

This will definitely be a TED talk in the future and silicon valley people will think the person(likely a man) is amazing and "ground breaking"

Lol, as if a visa or even granted citizenship ever stopped Trump before.

They are still arresting people who are married to American citizens and going through the normal green card process.
The wife of a fucking active duty national guardsman, in Texas, with an active green card application (filed in 2022), and no criminal record.
They arrested her at her work and deported her to the Honduras. Oh and she had an infant son as well.
Nosferatusteven miller loves separating families. The ghoulish shitbag gets off on this stuff.Ohh yes but americans, i am told, will wake up as soon as true fascism arises. Let me check my notes that is when the group they belong to is being persecuted
So yeah there is at maximum 10.000 people spread across all states fighting against it and by fighting i mean leaving real angry comments online.
Also midterms are around the corner and the "demoncracy" might totally heal itself, so better don't make any fuss or else you will be the reason democrats fuck up again.
Americans can always be relied upon to do the right thing, once we've tried everything else. You don't have to keep reminding us every decade.
So are they going to lay off any gaurdsman with an immigrant spouse or are they just hoping they aren't angry enough to frag their CO when Trump deploys them?
At this point, I don't think they can think past, "Hur, dur, immigrants bad."
