Sorry, your argument does not make sense to me. If I understood correctly you assert that if importation of cheap labor via H-1B program is prohibited by law then it means all cheap labor is bad from the POV of the law authors. I believe if you thought more than 15 seconds you could have found some logical faults with this.
- nsonha 6y agoWhy would foreign cheap labour be bad? And local cheap labour is OK? An foreign "not cheap" labour is also OK? It seems to imply foreign or cheap is bad, the combo doubly so, to the degree that it needs to be restricted.
- pandaman 6y agoThe most obvious reason I see is that foreign labor cannot vote while domestic can. Since both compete for the same jobs the politician supporting foreign labor is risking losing votes. The more expensive is the labor the less votes it represents and politicians can get away with supporting "highly specialized" foreign labor as the money they get from employers of that labor outweigh the votes they lose from the domestic highly specialized workers displaced by the foreigners.
