" The ACLU raised over $24 million in donations this past weekend, six-times more than it did in the entirety of 2016, thanks to high-profile pledges from tech companies like Lyft, Google and a range of tech industry figures. In a further sign of support from Silicon Valley, the ACLU entered Y Combinator’s accelerator program this week where it will receive mentorship and guidance around areas like hiring, the use of technology and more."
Looks like Silicon Valley is getting rattled up.
How about trying to promote programs to get homegrown talent instead of going the cheap route and looking for foreigners?
Some tech companies are figuring out ways to survive the H1B purge. It will be done by evacuating the hi-tech jobs to Canada, who seems more than willing to get some high paid tax payers on their soil.
Silicon Valley is making plans to move foreign-born workers to Canada
For many U.S. startups and their foreign-born employees, a kind of back-up plan may be starting to sound like a good idea right about now.
at least one small group of cofounders has banded together to make it easier for U.S. companies to create subsidiaries in Canada and to move their U.S.-based employees to a new, Vancouver-based office, and all within what they describe as weeks, not months.

Microsoft and some Seattle tech firms have been using BC as a holding place for those with visa issues for years. it is more ramping up than new.
What the right wing does not understand is that remove the visas and you simply remove the jobs.
There are thousands of open positions right this second in the seattle area. We have hundreds of tech companies and dozens of big ones along with Amazon Microsoft Google Face Book etc.. (can't fill them )
These companies have tens of thousands of employees OUTSIDE the USA as it stands. They can shift focus to put expansion outside the USA with ease.
MSFT has Ireland, Holland, India china and many more smaller centers . Instead of continuing to grow in the USA they can all ramp up in Hyderabad or Dublin or wherever in order to avoid losing competitive edge. And when tech leaves so does the IP. Instead of the next world beating iPhone, search engine or OS being created in the USA it will come from Shanghai , pune , Hitec city/Hyderabad....
So before you keep wishing for Trumpy to ban H1-b just riddle me this... Who exactly do you expect to buy the high end cars you are building in the heartland when the jobs go to india...?
I've donated to the stock market and it's paying off big.
