Like I said, I agree with you that the H-1B program is bad precisely because of its restrictive nature towards employees who want to switch jobs. My point is that there are usually no available alternatives to the program for hiring immigrants, so using the H-1B program is not prima facie evidence that a corporation is intentionally seeking out a low wage employee who is shackled to them. This is evidenced by the fact that many (not all of course) tech companies have a policy of starting the green card process on day 1 of an employee’s tenure, which speeds up the process of freeing the employees from the work visa handcuffs. Yes, companies like Infosys exist, but the companies that pay their engineers 300k+ also have to use the same program to recruit immigrants because that’s just the unfortunate nature of how the US immigration system works.
