FWIW I'm a foreign-born US citizen and I agree with them. I think immigration is important for highly in-demand fields that can't be fulfilled by US citizens or existing permanent residents within the next 5 years. Nurses and doctors for example. Tech is not one of those fields, so I would 100% support anti-immigration policies (including outsourcing restrictions) in that sector until there is a true need for it.

- bluecheese452 3y agoThis is simply untrue. The US graduates far more stem majors than they have ever done. Many fail to fine gainful employment because employers would rather cry about a phony shortage so they can hire cheap labor.
