Extending their visa via sponsorship would mean what? What does that require? Also, having an H1B visa doesn't qualify anyone for SNAP benefits. To be an immigrant and qualify you have to be of a specific immigrant group (cuban, haitian, etc) or be a green card holder AND have been here for 5 years with that card.
All of that requires what? Being documented.
There are not huge numbers of illegal immigrants stealing jobs from Americans then somehow qualifying for SNAP benefits.
This is a conservative racist fantasy. Just like the one Reagan pushed back in the 80s with the "wellfare queens" with 11 kids who got Cadillac's paid for by the US government.
It peddles in the same "they're stealing from you" nonsense.
And if you took 15 minutes to research how the benefits system in the US works, you'd know that.
You can't sponsor an illegal. To get an H1B Visa you have to be... documented. So, no. There is no "incentive" to hire an undocumented immigrant to replace a citizen and then pay them so little they're on SNAP benefit.
Prior to Trump, it used to cost $2,000 to $5,000 per filing. So, every time you wanted to bring in an H1B visa worker, each petition was $2,000 to $5,000. And that wasn't guaranteed. If the petition was rejected for any reason, to re-submit it was another fee. That's the fee the employer has to pay, not the visa holder.
I'm confused on how they were able to take your job BUT ALSO get medicare/SNAP benefits?
How does that work? If you are paid enough to not need SNAP or Medicare, why are they getting it since there's an income test?
Maybe because you've never been on benefits you don't know that you have to give them access to your bank account and who your employer is so they can verify your income.
So... how are they able to do those things? How does that work?
