Elon musk recently called for a massive expansion of the H1B visa program. This has caused an expansion of the supply of dramacoin on Xitter where MAGAs and Techbros have been fighting over the question of h1bs (a plurality of which are from India). The former bromance between the two groups is now burning up like a firecracker full of butt gas.
Some of the drama has spilled over to reddit, which while less likely to be racialized, contains much of the usual redditisms.
First of all, imagine spending your Christmas doomblogging about this shit instead of enjoying food and presents with your family. LMAO, what a bunch of fricking losers.

Lmao now being an expert on codeforces is going to be a bare minimum in usa 😂😂😂.
I thought a lot of people voted R to regulate and reduce H1bs.
Anyone who votes right/conservative thinking they'll reduce immigration is an idiot. They love immigration for 2 main reasons.
it helps their billionaire friends (more poor people to abuse and exploit)
It gives the people a scapegoat for them to direct their anger towards instead of the politicians or their billionaire friends.
The last point is an old leftist chesnut, undermined by the fact that GOP base is turning against the billionaires who are advocating for raising immigration caps. The main reason is the Republicans secretly love the status quo, care little to understand issues intellectually, sit on their hands, and don't do shit. (in short, NOTHING EVER HAPPENS 
)
Elections have consequences.
America gets what it fricking deserves.
You need to import more Luigis.
And just like that liberals hate immigrants

Edit: unrelated side note, but has anyone noticed how Teslas have become a go-to car for sexy Indian dudes? Are they displacing the soys and boomers as Tesla's customer base?

I find it hard to believe
America 
has too few software 
engineers, maybe 
really 
high quality 
ones in hard areas like robotics or AI, but I doubt 
that's the usual crowd 
coming over on H-1b visas, how much more webshit fullstack react 
programmers do we need? What areas are most critically understaffed right 
now?

The meme comes from businesses required to "look" for an American first, so they put an ad out, interview an American with no intention of hiring them, and then go for the H1B for the cheapness. The rule says they have to first look for americans, so they have to pretend that they looked for americans first. They CYA because corporations are evil and do not care about anything but their bottom line. The meme then comes from Indians who were hired thinking the corp truly couldn't find someone in the US.
