If you are calling for an indefinite pause on immigration enforcement, the optics of that are de-facto pro-immigration, e.g. who is going to enforce worker visas overstays if not ICE?
At tech companies? The company lawyers and HR, just like today. They are asking for a pause on immigration raids.
From what I’ve seen, tech companies are very lax about visa overstays. I’ve never heard of a tech company that actually enforces visa overstays or violations. (Why would they?)
Ah, so you admit that ICE’s public work of late has nothing to do with tech worker’s visas? They can just slide by while the more vulnerable are harassed?
INS (or its new parts) like before ICE was created in 2003? Otherwise the standard rules around hiring that apply across the country.
They are not calling for an indefinite pause on immigration enforcement.
