your personal anecdotes doesnt negate the actual data
- DragonStrength 1y agoIt's basic economics that more workers with fewer rights lower wages across the board. "They make what Americans do" when there is a continuous flow of competing labor. Sure. What would companies pay if they didn't have these exploitable workers? Would the companies have opened new office closer to where Americans are educated? Certainly, one of those two would happen.

- Bnjoroge 1y agoThey do that already. H1b has a minimum salary requirement. I agree it should be higher but it exists. The median H1B is 130k.
