Why not? Let the Free Market decide.
If Americans can’t compete on merit, that’s their own fault. We don’t need reverse DEI.
I thought the argument and attacks on DEI policies were about not hiring solely based on merit.
Now you’re asking for a safe space where unqualified Americans get jobs over more qualified candidates.
- like_any_other 2mo agoHaving a country is now "reverse DEI". Good to know.
- mexicojalisco 2mo agoBecause the country through policy should not act directly against the interests of its citizens. Blue collar is gone and white collar is halfway there. Why even have borders? The government is by the people FOR the people. Not AGAINST the people FOR corporate profits. The h1b is being abused against it’s original intent.
- bubblethink 2mo agoThat's for Congress to decide, not armchair commentators on HN, nor the executive branch.

- karanbhangui 2mo agoGood immigration policy should serve the existing citizens of a nation.
- iAMkenough 2mo agoI thought we didn’t like it when the government picks winners and losers.

- mancerayder 2mo agoA city's leadership shouldn't try to look after the city's interest? The answer to that is so obvious, you should look to explaining why it doesn't apply to the elected leadership of a nation.
- iAMkenough 2mo agoWhy should America’s best and brightest minds have to sacrifice the quality of talent on their teams? Choosing a less qualified candidate because of where the most qualified candidate was born. How is encouraging brain drain looking out for best interests?
- cryo28 2mo agoThe argumenth that H-1Bs are best and brightest is laughable and has been refuted so many time. I don't think anyone would argue against using H-1B as intended to bring best and brightest. If so, it would be nothing for the employers to pay a little bit to prove that the person is so good. However, the vast majority of H-1Bs are not better than Citizens/Perm residents. And my personal experience working with them side-by-side would actually say that outside of the big-tech the majority of typical H-1Bs are actually significantly worse than their US Citizen peers. The argument of that we need to import H-1Bs due to shortage on the local market is also laughable given the state the market has been in the last 5 years (constant layoffs, many qualified candidates can't land a job for 1.5-2 years).
