HN readers are likely most familiar with the tech industry's use of H-1B, but it's also used widely in healthcare, academia, and even by some public K-12 school districts that have trouble filling certain teaching jobs. These are jobs that are badly needed (doctors for rural hospitals for instance) and there will be real consequences for society if we can no longer get the workers to fill them.
