Maybe we should fix that instead. Even the playing field for all, so there's no real incentive to hire H1B over a citizen. They can still hire H1Bs where the is a real shortage of talent. By providing H1Bs a bigger timeline like maybe

How does that even work? If labor has no income to spend on goods and services. where is the return on capital coming from? Isn't this halting velocity of money, thereby making it useless? Can someone smarter explain this to me.
