H-1B as currently implemented has huge problems.

IF the program were fixed I might even agree with your statement. But #1, it needs to focus on, and ONLY apply to truly highly skilled. I know from experience that's not what it does today. (but in fact, take a look at the categories of workers it applies to - not only tech workers, surprise surprise.)

We have plenty of talented people in this country, many from disadvantaged backgrounds that progressives (or liberals, if you prefer) give lip service to supporting. These people are getting crushed by the tactics of the H-1B pipeline industry.

Our FIRST priority in immigration should always be compassionate immigration. Refugees and asylum seekers. Not undermining our own minority population for the purpose of a controllable workforce and more profit for big tech.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
