These workers entered the US with an ESTA visa that doesn't allow them to do construction work. They knowingly violated the terms of their visa. LG got busted for this in the past. You can't just abuse ESTA to bypass getting the correct L-1, H-1B, H-2B visas.

Also, Indian Americans earn the highest per capita so he’s not going to piss off a very wealthy segment of the population that has a lot of pull in red states and actually vote Republican.
Everything Trump does is smoke and mirrors, next week he’ll spin it and say H1B visas are vital to AI, just like he did with the foreign student rant while also saying he was going to allow 600,000 Chinese students.

The only thing keeping some these roles in Canada are SOC and data mandates though clients that force the retainment of data and access to said data within Canada or the US itself.
This is partly why I chuckle when we attach this idea of "buying Canadian", as if these same Canadian companies give a flying fuck about Canadian jobs

The issue is most big companies are finding it difficult to leverage AI with their legacy systems and business processes, these chat models aren't really built for those sorts of tasks.
If you're in technical writing or anything document/contract related, or programming especially in the entry level, you're already fucked.
