H1B visas have always been about suppressing the wages of tech workers. America can be competitive on the world stage and pay a market rate. It's not true that these workers have skills that are not available domestically. Make the H1B salaries the same as the senior tech employees you're trying to displace and the calculations on firing all your senior employees goes out the window. This ultimately will be good for the foreign workers, as they will be compensated equally. This is equitable and just. anything else is modern day indentured servitude.
- Aperocky 6y agoYou do understand that if there is a way to pay half the money for the same work, every single one of the company would have done so right? The only reason that isn't happening right now is because the top talent largely congregated to the USA, utilizing those visas, making finding talent in other markets harder as you usually just can't find the same level of talent out there. That is going to change, especially when COVID eliminated a huge part of inconvenience - everybody is at home anyways, the person on the other side can be 20 miles away or 8000 miles away, it doesn't matter all that much.
