Most of my friends are working in warehouses or doing Uber Eats because companies aren’t hiring Americans, or they’re just worn out from the endless interview process. Still, I’m glad Adobe name showed up on the list.

The US government is suspending Microsoft, Adobe and several large IT firms from a programme that allows skilled foreign workers to gain permanent residency, senior US officials announced on Thursday, citing alleged fraud and an effort to push companies to hire more Americans.
"Our message to Microsoft is: You're a great American company, but you've got to hire great American workers," US Vice President JD Vance said.
Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling added that some of the largest IT firms in the world would also be suspended from the programme, including Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCL and Capgemini.
"We will not accept any new or process any pending permanent labor certification applications involving these companies," Sonderling said.
This is why I have always said an America first regime is a natural ally of Pakistan.

Microsoft has a lot of explaining to do - laying off thousands while sponsoring thousands

This move is partly also about Indian gloating that Microsoft and other companies have sent many many more jobs offshore since the crackdown on H1b and other visas.
So according to Indians, the choices for employers are either to hire them on H1b in the US or on high wages in India.
This is the sense of entitlement Indians now have towards high paying American jobs, because they have had the H1b basically to themselves since the 1990's.

Indians never in their wildest hindutva WhatsApp university fantasy world ever had any skills superior to american workers. All they had was much cheaper labor rate and compliant Yass saar attitude and it also didn't hurt to have been onboard with the zionist world view.

I would slightly disagree. I think India did export the cream of its labor crop to the world from the 1970s to 1990's, who were graduates of top institutes like IIT and Indian Institute of Business etc, and who built this image of Indians as smart and capable workers.
The Indians who then took advantage of this image and flooded into the US since the 1990s on H1b, fit the description of average workers whose main appeal was cheaper to pay than Americans and much more docile.

JD Vance is very likely to stop the war on Iran, and that has far reaching positive consequences for Pakistan. Plus, the Democrats have been going a little too far left with promoting illegal immigrants--the infamous 'vote bank politics' which the Indian Congress Party used to do as far as minorities are concerned and the result is we have continuous Modi regime since 2014 as a reaction.
BTW, I am a self-proclaimed liberal who has supported all liberal candidates since Bill Clinton 1992 candidacy. And I am 100% going to vote for Dr. Annie Andrews for the US Senate for the South Carolina set of Lindsay Graham. But I am not blind to how the Democrats have rushed into the 'gender' politics like issues. Anyway, if see a more 'centrist' Democratic candidate then maybe I will vote for him/her in 2028. I don't follow blind 'party politics' or at least I not to. Heck, I had even (reluctantly) voted for Trump in 2020 but thank God he had lost then; I should not have voted for Biden either, the way he turned out to be.
Also, important to note here: Vance maybe married to an Indian-origin woman but his stance on the H1Bs, if fully implemented, is a huge blow to India. Indians know that. So having an Indian wife doesn't have enough affect just like Kamala Harris' Indian ancestry wouldn't have much affect on American foreign policy wrt India if she were to become the POTUS in 2024. In fact, some of the most die hard pro Palestinian in American Congress are Democrats of Indian origin.
It is a melting pot here in America. There is a churn going on unlike in any other nation on Earth.

The Americans didn't consider Indians reproduce like rats. As soon as they land in the west the babies start getting popped out.
After 10 years the Indian population would multiply aggressively.
This is why they were desperately trying to force through the The Birthright Citizenship Act.
