They're directly arguing in favor of putting skilled foreign workers on a path to citizenship, and not even mess around with H-1B's. If the argument is America lacks enough of certain skilled workers, recruit these workers into becoming Americans.
This is in contrast to the Republican position which is to set a minimum wage for H-1B holders, which is rather ironic that they'll support a minimum wage there as a form of protectionism, but won't support a federal minimum wage increase. But that's typical Republican classism. Between that, and the current administration's blatantly anti-immigrant stance, I'm unconvinced we're going to see a good policy change in the near term, and instead it'll just be a rearranging of the deck chairs with a lot of red cape action to distract people from the issues.
