I've hauled ass in the United States for 7 years as a nonresident from Pakistan that initially came here on a student visa, and I have to say, the entire process has been so damn dehumanizing. They add so many extra hurdles for us to even find work, over residents of the country. But even after successfully jumping through those hoops, the only reward you get is to become just as overworked as any resident working that job too, but with usually even less pay (since we're never in a position to negotiate, considering our immigrant status), and just rot away as a cog in the machine (and I say this as someone who managed to land one of the better jobs too when it comes to workload).
All the while, I'm paying taxes to fund the war machine of a country that's actively played a part in destabilizing the country that I was born in but ripped away from at an early age. That's not even counting the fuck-ups my employer did when withholding taxes from me for the years I worked with them. They taxed me as a resident instead of a nonresident, and in the time it took me to get a good-enough understanding of the tax literature in the US to realize I was paying taxes that I didn't need to be, I had already lost around $10,000 to the IRS. And ever since covid hit, it's been impossible to get any truths out of anyone if I'll ever see that money I earned ever again (hopes aren't high, its been 2 years and no real help from employer, tax agent, or IRS).
I've lost so many social connections, opportunities, community, and rly, just the spark and joy you're supposed to feel to even be alive. All of this was drained out of me, as I got nothing in return for my efforts after all these years, just a few savings in my bank account that I'm burning through real quick (thx inflation). And the work only seems to get more and more overbearing. Listening to people with authority over me, and the tone of their voice when they speak, just makes my ears bleed. If I quit, I have to restart my life from scratch in a third-world country with almost no family or friends to rely on because I was pushed to move out at too early of an age due to familial difficulties.
I hate capitalism.
