American citizens deserve to be protected first. The visa’s need to be cancelled. We have a duty to protect American jobs FIRST.
I’m embarrassed there are people this ignorant flying professionally at my airline. They’re living in America, paying American taxes, supporting the American economy. You want to prevent hiring
in the future? Sure. But demanding revoking their green cards now? you’re just wanting to take away jobs from people
solely because they were born somewhere else because you didn’t prepare for a downturn. Don’t pretend it’s anything about “American jobs”.
