You're confusing vacations with immigration. If that "guest" has come to your house on the premise that they're going to live with you, and you kick them out, yes, that is bad.

We even have laws about this, that's why there's a whole eviction process and it applies to people living with you as much as to normal tenants.




That’s ignoring the entire premise of the H1-B visa. It’s never intended to be permanent (6 year limit).

It was never intended as “come here permanently”.

You’re basically expecting something it never promised.


They come to work at a specific job when that relationship ends so does your access.

It's like giving a home plumber access to your yard and then you move but he still hang around your yard.


Plumbers do not come to your house with the intention of permanently living there.


Neither are temporary workers on expiring VISAs. They may want that but that's not part of the agreement.


They are temporary but not sudden or on-demand. It's ok to say that they can only be here for a finite amount of time but not ok to uproot their lives suddenly.


It's not really sudden if you know the visa is temporary the entire time.


Temporary does not mean it needs to end up any second.
