Hard work is a skill in and of itself, that many of our ancestors who migrated here possessed - and not much else.
- azinman2 5y agoExcept: 1. The population was low then, and the entire economic dynamic and need for immigrants was completely different than now. Laws change over time to reflect the current situation and should never remain static. 2. We already have existing ways for people to immigrate here legally outside of H1B that includes the low-skilled. 3. H1B was specifically designed for people who have skills that are difficult to grab from existing citizens, and is a requirement of the program. 4. This program has notoriously been abused as a way to pay less than the existing market of citizens would take for the job. 5. There are plenty of great people who should be here on an H1B (especially fresh grads), but are subject to a lottery that includes those who consultants have put in specifically to pay less. The abuse has displaced some who deserve it. 6. The premise of pre-reserving slots for H1B violates the entire spirit of the visa.
