With the new propositions in the pipeline, it means he cannot even buy property, buy into 401K or make long time investments since he will not be able to have a green card or stay longer than 3 years if the next set of prepositions pass. He is only allowed to contribute to the economy but reap no significant benefits from it except being able to visit malls, watch movies and eat burgers. Seems to me like the good old days when slaves were allowed to work in sugarcane plantations but had their lips padlocked so they could only work and not taste the fruits of their labor. But let me further correct the wrong notion these political bigots have. Just because a man gets a green card does not mean he will live here forever or will be a burden on the economy.
People have green cards and still relocate back after a few years.
That way, we have as much experience and contacts, credit and go back home to start a business or head a business. Guess who will get the business of those firms the H-1B holder heads. If only the INS and the government will look into the future. That will even further guarantee that long after the US markets may get saturated, there will be new frontiers for the American businesses to explore. A 10-day grace period is ludicrous and very mean.
