Without major reform, the H-1B visa program will continue to benefit corporate executives and investors over both native and foreign workers.

@DaviMarvelous I was a COBOL programmer in the 1990’s. Leading up to Y2K, COBOL programmers were making $50-$75/hour. Until a flood of H1B visa holders from India came, working for $15-$20/hour, pushed wages down & put thousands of Americans on the unemployment line.

Reform is a band-aid on big wound! Endh1-b

Robert Reich’s xenophobia is showing.

Here's the con: Oh look at us, we're great corporate citizens!! We replaced Styrofoam cups with paper cups! Import 100,000's workers Oh look at us, we're hiring non-white males (DEI)!!! Import 100,000's more workers. We're being conned.

It isn't just in the private arena. What people also don't realize is that a plethora of immigrants are coming here on H1B visas to work for corporations as contractors on federal government contracts. 💙💙💙

Explain why a company should not be allowed to hire the best person for the job, wherever they’re from?

In 1990, Democrats and Republicans alike were patting themselves on the back. The legislation, introduced by a Democrat, passed easily and was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush.

Step aside pal We got the next year eight years! 🇺🇸

You forgot to mention one very important consequence of H1B. Not only does it allow corporations to pay people less and make more profit, it also floods the worker market and drives down wages for everybody else.
