I think the New York Times and other publications need to put more scrutiny on the congress in stories like this,
"When Congress designed temporary work visa programs, the idea was to bring in foreigners with specialized, hard-to-find skills who would help American companies grow, creating jobs to expand the economy. Now, though, some companies are bringing in workers on those visas to help move jobs out of the country."
I think this quote represents what congress claimed to be doing, but instead were just obeying their corporate masters and knew full well that the program would be used to erode the us workforce and workers rights in order to enrich large corporations.
I don't expect journalistic institutions to agree with me but I do expect them to call out politicians far more than they are, and to question their motives with poorly thought laws like this one.
