Before anyone gets mad at H1-B workers, you need to understand that a large percentage of them are being exploited to a sickening degree too.

~~Musk contends there’s a U.S. skill shortage~~
Billionaire twat contends that he doesn't want to pay for competent employees and prefers slave labor.
Fixed that for him.
This is what they mean by saying bring production to America. This is the plan for all workers because line go up. Yes, you.
Their continued existence in this country is dependent on being employed. They will do what is asked of them. They have little choice.
There isn't a shortage of US skilled labor.
While there are obvious benefits to bringing skilled workers into the US, people are divided on the issue because those workers are often paid less than US workers, putting negative pressure on compensation, especially in the tech industry, on top of the moral questions about holding visas over the heads of foreign workers.
This is a good summary of H-1B issues. I don’t think they’re bad in principle since bringing in talent is great for the economy, but in practice they can be abused and push down wages of American workers.
Which all comes from the temporary and restrictive nature of the visa. They’re tied to a specific employer and must leave the country if their employment with that company ends (or set up another visa with another company in a very short time).
If these people represent deficiencies in our country’s skill set, then we should be welcoming them with open arms not locking them into an exploitative indentured servitude.
Of course, removing the strong tie to a specific sponsoring employer would let them leave the company for more competitive pay and work environment, which makes the whole thing less appealing to companies. It’s also at odds with the idea of the visa serving to bring in extraordinary talent not available in the country. Needing extraordinary talent and skimping on pay don’t exactly go hand in hand.
These are the types of articles that really hurt trump. The ones that don't even mention him.
For too many people if you take them to that final step of logic to where it's the fault of something they like, they have an emotional reaction.
So as tempting as it is and as obvious as it seems, you gotta let people get to that last step on their own so they think it was their idea. If they think someone told them, they'll disagree out of spite.
