It's what their lawyers are advising them.

The Globe and Mail had a piece on March 25th on the advice that lawyers were giving to their clients, often Canadians working on TN visas down south:

> York-based immigration law firm Dyer Harris LLP, which helps foreigners secure work visas in the U.S., sent an e-mail to their clients residing and working in the country to hold off on international travel altogether, unless in an emergency.

I'm super interested to see what the next HN thread with that proberts lawyer dude is like.

I found the commentary in the last post from him to be pretty meagre, whether it was because people were afraid to talk about this kind of stuff or they just didn't know, I'm not sure, but it seems like reality is quickly setting in for a lot of people in the US.

Things are changing and they're changing fast.

You won't be able to ignore this forever.

at this point, what's even the point of immigrating here? if you're still young and haven't rooted yourself to this place (no family / house / significant other), I'd advise to leave and look to build a life in a different country. the best years of your life would be better lived elsewhere.

Given all the remote work tech that the pandemic helped mature, the answer seems obvious.

Funny thing is that getting a visa for China is now more seemless than it has ever been and they love my euros.

It's ironic that Silicon Valley's CEOs are now getting exactly what their candidate promised them.

Where is the pushback against this from Musk and Ellison?

Strange - an unusual amount of comments flagged. Hacker News is becoming more like Reddit by the day it seems.

If you are on H1b, buy a burner phone before you leave and enter the country. Should he fine.
