There is nothing to argue here really. The two little Wall Street Journal drawn bobble heads of two billionaires borne of the professional class can tell you that. They, the 1%, have their interests, and people such as myself, who work and create wealth, have our interests. Were American workers, or even Indian workers, consulted about how this visa be set up? Of course not. It was created by the myrmidons of the idle class to further their interests.
There is no argument. Do you think these billionaires argue among themselves whether to stuff their pockets or let working people keep the weath they create? This is not like scientists together debating quantum mechanics theories to seek the truth. This is a struggle over how the pie is divided up. People don't state arguments, any statement they make is just one of which faction they're in, a worker creating wealth, or some heir (or proxy of that heir) who owns a lot of Facebook and Google stock. This web site is owned by people proclaiming themselves with the word capitalists, "venture" capitalists. Obviously it will reflect in this way, although there are a lot of programmers who come here and discuss C and Lisp and JavaScript and so forth as well.
Obviously this professionally done graphic has a lot of nonsense in it, and all of this has been debunked over and over, and one can read Norm Matloff and others to see this. I'll just do the first point as more is a waste of my time. The first graphic says "college-educated workers in any occupation, 22-64". Well first off, this is very bogus - college educated workers go into all professions, but H1-Bs go into professions like IT. They don't make the chart showing what the degrees of people in IT and correlated industries are because then more Americans would have Masters. Also it is again in all industries and shows US 41.4 and H1-B 32 for age. I'm sure if you correlated for age, the US age would be younger. And so just as a product of age, more younger Americans would have a college degree as older workers have a less of a chance of having an advanced degree. The chart cheats by comparing H1Bs in IT etc. to all college-edcuated Americans who are in less education focused professions and who are also older then in IT. The rest of the infographic is bogus like this but you can read Norm Matloff and others if you wish.
