Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

When someone hangs a carrot over your head and says "if you want to stay, do what I say" that's a form of slavery.
You're right and it kills the need for the local citizens to get paid properly when a company has the option to pay way under market for someone who's home country might suck.
And this isn't an issue because???
Not ever bad thing is slavery...
But you don't seem to understand any of this
Nobody said every bad thing was slavery.
Right, but they said h1b's are modern slavery...
Which means they don't know how bad either are/were...
But fuck man, if you didn't understand before this comment, I doubt this will help. It's not exactly complicated and from your response you didn't just miss a little thing, you fundamentally dont know how the English language works.
"Not every" means that not only are they wrong here, they're so fundamentally wrong that they're most likely long about other modern things they think are "modern slavery".
It's like a 9 year old saying homework is modern slavery. At least that makes sense because they're 9.
n adult that thinks H1bs are modern slavery is a fucking idiot that doesn't understand either
The English language does not require strawman arguments. Everyone understands what you're trying to say.
