You're putting words in my mouth and not understanding my argument. The irony of your comment is that H-1Bs literally can't start companies here because if they quit the job sponsoring their visa they'll be deported.
I'm completely happy for people to immigrate here, but H-1B doesn't help them do that, and instead lets corporations exploit them.
H-1B is bad for immigrants because it puts them at the mercy of big corporations. H-1Bs are bad for citizens and legal immigrants because it lets corporations import cheaper labor.
- ulfw 8y agoH-1B is the one of the few legal stepping stones to become a citizen (and get permanent residence) if you don't go through routes like marriage or family sponsorship or a silly lottery. So while yes, you cannot start a company on an H-1B, it is for many people a pre-requisite to become a green card holder (and thus being able to start one).
