🧵Laid-off H-1B workers can stay in the U.S. for up to 60 days to find a new sponsor. DHS has proposed ending that. Comments close Nov 10.

We filed ours. Here's what the rule does, why we support it, and how you can comment in 10 minutes.

"The risk-taking culture of the dot-com era, which gave us the companies built by the likes of @JeffBezos , @peterthiel , @pmarca and @elonmusk , has become a fairytale for the ordinary tech worker. And oddly, many of the very people most nostalgic for that era and who may have gained the most from it, are championing a system that makes it nearly impossible for a new generation of workers to make the leaps they made."

You know about 700K #H1B migrants in US jobs needed by US grads.
Then add the OPTs, CPTs, J1s, TNs, O1s & H4EADs.
And there's more!
"Experts estimate that there are between 310,000 and 337,000 L-1 workers in the United States."
IOW, at least 1.5 million

This staffing company is recruiting for U.S. IT jobs but explicitly limits applicants to H-4 EAD holders, green card EAD holders, and green card holders.

American citizens need not apply.

Benefis Hospital in Montana created a new residency program in 2025 to address the local doctor shortage. Its inaugural Internal Medicine class was 80% foreign-medical-school trained. Further, their inaugural-class graphic appears to relabel multiple MBBS graduates as “MD.”

2025 residents (image 1):

Dewmini Abeynayake
Non-U.S. UMHS, St. Kitts

Khansa Ali
Non-U.S. Liaquat, Pakistan

Batool Alnahar
Non-U.S. MBBS, Saudi Arabia

Porntawee Aphivantrakul
U.S. Emory

Yasein Aswad
Non-U.S. MBBS, Alfaisal, Saudi Arabia

Muhammad Asad Ullah Awan
Non-U.S. MBBS, National University of Medical Sciences, Rawalpindi

Jon Harwell
U.S. MD according to the program composition data; exact school still not located publicly

Khushal Khan
Non-U.S. Khyber Medical College, Pakistan

Naveed Ullah Khan
Non-U.S. MBBS; exact school still unresolved

Faraz Waheed
Non-U.S. Khyber Medical College, Pakistan; publicly describes himself as a non-U.S. IMG

The second class (image 2) was 40% trained at foreign medical schools - across both cohorts, 12 of 20 (60%) attended medical school outside the United States.

I think we know which way Montana is headed…

From eight years ago and things have only gotten worse: https://t.co/FogHWmCvj5

[U.S. Tech Workers @USTechWorkers]

Understand that most American medical school seniors take their licensing exams while juggling clinical rotations and traveling the country for residency interviews. Many foreign medical students take a year off just to study for the USMLEs.

With so many foreign doctors being brought into the U.S. healthcare system, the question should be: what is the value of a U.S. medical school education? Another question worth asking: why haven't more medical schools been created in the U.S.? The demand for enrollment is there, as is the marketplace demand.

Eight years ago, we started a project called "Doctors Without Jobs" to bring attention to the plight of the many American doctors who have simply been thrown overboard by the system, and we testified before Congress during the Biden administration on this issue. Sadly, the situation has only gotten worse since then.

As the NRMP data below shows, the number of U.S. medical school graduates matching into residencies continues to go down, while the number of foreign-trained physicians getting residencies at U.S. teaching hospitals continues to go up.

Why are 62% of hospit residents at this hospital speciifcally from PAKISTAN? Not just international or even subcontinental, but specifically Pakistani?

Ethnic networking at the HR department is the only plausible explanation. The Indian vs Pakistani HR catfight will be wild

[Expose H1B Fraud @JobsNowPaper]

BREAKING: Rochester General Hospital in New York hired 82 resident doctors.

80 are foreign workers on H-1B or J-1 visas.
Only 2 are Americans.

98% of the residency slots went to visa workers- mostly from countries with documented USMLE cheating.

Americans got 2 jobs.

[MedicalQuack @MedicalQuack]

Sure the @AmerMedicalAssn is more interested in their fund than anything else...Optum is their CPT code partner..has been

AMA and United Healthcare Combine Efforts to Once Again To Push CMS To Institute Algorithmic and ICD Coding To Rip Off Patients/Deny Access–It’s the Next Chapter of Excess Scoring in the US To Keeps Inequality/Segmentation Rolling (my last @MedicalQuack blog post in 2019) Good stuff to read there...https://t.co/RpYmPH2c0D

The AMA selected Optum360, which is owned by UnitedHealth Group, as the vendor for the licensing fees for Practice Fusion users

AMA too, they want to be a big code shop and sell software and toolkits to doctors, most of which despise the AMA:)
AMA Fund=Health 2047 code shop in Menlo Park, Silicon Valley..3000 Sand Hill Rd suite 3-210, Menlo Park, CA 94025 https://t.co/IiUSjnAuO4

AMA is what I call a perception consulant as they sell the public on how they help doctors and they don't do a thing expect paint that perception and watch their fund, Health 2047🤮 MDs began years ago running away from the AMA...
AMA will make you a loan though or sell your malpractice insurance..who knows about their pricing though..they want money from doctors, that's for sure..

“It’s Alabama - It’s rural, of course they have to rely on foreign medical graduates.”

Cool, here’s non-rural BronxCare Pediatrics in New York City.

Class of 2027: 15/15 attended foreign medical schools
Class of 2028: 15/15
Class of 2029: 13/14

43 of 44. 97.7%.

[Doctors Without Jobs @DocsWithoutJobs]

AMA is the worst and always has been. As an institution it is emblematic of the rot in the system. Decades ago, they should have been preparing for the inevitable increase in demand for healthcare by expanding the number of medical schools and teaching hospitals. But , NO!

Moreover, there is no shortage of highly qualified Americans wanting to become doctors and enter other areas of the healing arts. They compensated for this lack of investment by using immigration. Immigration allowed the Hospitalist system to maximize profits and all the while degrading the quality of care.

Just shameful.

[Mary Talley Bowden MD @MaryBowdenMD]

25% of US physicians are NOT American, yet somehow the AMERICAN Medical Association is lobbying to let more foreign doctors in. American Hospital Association I get - they want cheap labor. But AMA?

[Average Honkey @AvgHonkey]

30,000 qualified American applicants are rejected from Med School every year.

[NE-Techworkers @CTechworkers]

@neonwhiterabbit was the first person talking about this ... It is so scary to think the person removing your Mom's gall bladder is a fake doctor, who never attended Medical School. Only the Boomers could have designed a medical system like this
