My only complaint with the entire H1B process is that it is used to simply hire cheaper labor, rather than the best, often at the expense of Americans. It's essentially importing a cheaper work force to displace the local one. That's the unfair economic impact because Americans cannot compete.
Just ask anyone who had to train their H1B replacement to get severance.
Those who support H1B should start talking to those who feel displaced, replaced, and cheated. Any one of us could be replaced or off shored.

You know who won’t sue a racist and sbusive employer? An H1b. While local nurses at Kaiser picket, Kaiser claims they need more h1b nurses because of a shortage, while offloading doctor work onto those nurses. You know who won’t go on strike for being overworked and doing the work of actual physicians? Yes, imported workers.

Not being able to sue Tesla for millions of dollars for racism is well worth a measly 100k over 6 years. Calling it a half measure is even being way too kind. It was a psyop on labor. A fake solution that won’t do anything to solve the very real problem of h1b abuse.
