This is a pretty good journey through the mess that is the H1-B and Green Card process in the US, which is heavily used by the tech industry.

The article focuses on PERM listings, which are ads for positions *that you have already filled* with H1-B visa holders, so that you can apply for employment-based green cards for the same people.

I must admit that I’m a beneficiary of said system: I got an H1-B, got an employer to advertise the same position I already held for PERM compliance, got my green card, and successfully applied for US citizenship in a process that took more than a decade. But there is no denying that the system is perverse and broken, and doesn’t do anything close to what it purports to do. There are also corner cases that workers fall into where they are either deported or become essentially indentured workers to a company as long as they want to stay in the US.

Das Aktionsbündnis neue soziale Medien fordert alle #Hochschulen, die #Mastodon noch nicht verwenden, auf, angesichts der aktuellen Entwicklungen in den #USA damit nun zu beginnen.

Die US-Regierung hat vorgestern erklärt, dass vor Erteilung von #Visa die #socialmedia-Accounts von einreisewilligen Studierenden „überprüft“ werden sollen
👉 www1.wdr.de/nachrichten/usa-vi
Dazu sind sie bei den großen Netzwerken #X, #Instagram, #LinkedIn, #YouTube, #Facebook technisch und juristisch bereits in der Lage, unabhängig davon, ob die Server in den USA oder woanders auf der Welt stehen, vergl.

Auf die Nutzung von #Fediverse-Diensten wie Mastodon haben US-Regierungsbehörden keinen Zugriff. Und schon deshalb sollten Hochschulen in Deutschland für ihre #WissKomm ein Medium bereit stellen, mit dessen Nutzung die #Studierenden und #Forschenden offen und ohne die Angst kommunizieren können, dass ihre Posts von US-Behörden kontrolliert werden.
