You're wrong both generally and in this case specifically.
Since 1998, H1-B applications include a $500 fee[1] that's used to "...provide training and related activities to workers to assist them in gaining...employment in high-growth industries or economic sectors."[2]
Government programs frequently include provisions for how they will be funded.[3] And revenues generated by government programs are frequently earmarked for specific purposes prior to collection.[4]
That money is not fungible. It is "mandatory" spending.[5]
If you're going to be wrong, you should try not to be rude at the same time.
