The H1B system isn't about getting bright minds into the US, it's about filling gaps in US worker skills. It's not meant to benefit immigrants, but US companies

- colechristensen 3y agoWhat it is actually about is cheaper labor. Without H1-B companies would have to compete more for talent and invest in more education and promote their in demand careers to young Americans. I would much rather see FAANG invest in opportunities for inner city and poor rural high schools… programs to support bringing up people already in this country. Rather than siphoning off the best and most ambitious people from poor countries who need those people’s talents. I can’t blame anyone for chasing the best opportunities for themselves and their families though. I do not like how H1-B alters the game and who loses as a result.
