So free market for commodities but throw out the common man trying to make a better life for himself?
Everyone here arguing against H1b saying that US companies should prefer American citizens first are forgetting that most multi-nationals or even American companies earn their money globally. IBM,Apple, Microsoft, Google all earn as much money out of US as inside. Yelling "dey tuk er jerbs" is going to drive them away to where they will find more programmers to do their jobs. You guys don't understand that companies are not tied to national borders.
And plenty of these companies: Microsoft, Google, Pepsi, Mastercard etc have Indian CEOs who are/were on their H1b. Kick them out too?
51% of billion dollar silicon valley companies were founded by immigrants. If you are asking to shut down legal migration and build a wall for illegal immigration you are either deluded about the market or have no idea how economy works.
You live by free market, you die by it.
